Cc: 'Fran Boroughs'; 'suzanne@verizon.net' Subject: Comments Shoreline Master Program This plan is complicated and does not appear to take into account many fire safety and economic impact issues. The public comment period should be extended so public concerns can be better addressed. Such a short comment period give the impression certain interest groups are trying to railroad this through. Practically, being unable to cut brush increases the fire danger. The plan will not allow accommodation for access to the beach for physically handicapped or physically impaired persons in most situations. Is it true that if we have a fire we will be unable to rebuild our house at the present site but have to move it 160 ft back? It appears to me that the county, under this plan, wants to seize control of 40% of my property. Section 4 seems to indicate I will not be able to cut a tree which I planted that has grown up near the chimney and could be a fire danger. It also seem to indicate I cannot have people park on the property when we have visitors. This nuts. Section 6 This increase the setback by over 54%. What is the scientific proof is there this will "better protect human safety & critical natural resources. I see nothing in the plan that shows anything like a 54% increase in human safety and protection for resources. Section 7 We have been launching small non-motorized watercraft for over 46 years. Now we have get a permit or not be able to do it at all. I am fully against this plan until many of the draconian measures have been modified. Where is the common sense. We all want a healthy environment, it makes our quality of life better, we do not want mandated restrictions at the expense of our property rights. 2/2/2009
