Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is exempt from review pursuant to Chapter 268-3, Exempt Minor Actions, item B which states: "Replacement, rehabilitation or reconstruction of a structure or facility, in kind, on the same site, including upgrading buildings to meet building or fire codes, except for structures in areas designated by the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (CEHA) law where structures may not be replaced, rehabilitated or reconstructed without a permit".

I have indicated that all policies are "Not Applicable," because pursuant to Town Code §268- 5(A) and the corresponding definitions of"action" and "minor action" by §286-3, the submission of a LWRP Consistency Assessment Form is not required for this application, as the proposed work entails only the "maintenance or repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility," specifically the in-place replacement of an existing bulkhead.
