The existing crosswalk includes an approximately 5' x 300' walkway landing in the dunes. Staff has conducted an onsite inspection of the crosswalk. The crosswalk, although serviceable, is in need of maintenance. The proposed work includes replacement of rails and decking, support piles as necessary and extension of the crosswalk over the most seaward dune. All proposed work will be done within the footprint of the existing structure except for the 215' seaward extension which is necessary to cross the accreted dunes. The crosswalk will be elevated to a minimum of three feet above the existing sand dunes. At the landward end of the crosswalk, a ramp will be installed in lieu of stairs. All work will be done from the crosswalk using hand tools only. The Department authorizes the proposed maintenance and extension of the existing dune crosswalk as depicted by the attached drawings and description. Any additional activities within the Shore Jurisdiction of the State may require a Shore Protection Permit. No motorized vehicles are permitted on the crosswalk structure, except for motorized wheelchairs for handicapped persons. No vegetation is to be disturbed beyond the limits of the project during construction. Any incidental impacts to the dunes or vegetation must be restored to pre - project vegetated and topographic conditions, any backfilling must be beach quality and obtained from an upland source and not from the beach. No storage of materials in the dunes is permitted. The elevation of the crosswalk must be three feet above the dune vegetation to allow for sand movement. All construction must comply with Department of Natural Resources Sea Turtle Guidelines and the Tybee Island Beach Management Plan. I CON SIRY\TI ON.

Box 1234 Tybee Island, GA 31328 March 4, 2011 Mrs. Ann Thran Department of Natural Resources One Conservation Way Brunswick, Georgia 3520 -8687 Dear Ann, Thank you for meeting with Ray Hord, Ben Oxnard, Walter Murphy and me Wednesday, January 12, 2011 and again, on Thursday, January 27, 2011, with Walter Murphy and Paul LaBrosse, to discuss the 11th Terrace Crossover. As we discussed with you, we are requesting a permit to fix the Crossover and to replace the steps on the West end of the Crossover with a 50 -foot ramp and extend the Crossover, on the ocean side, with a 215 -foot ramp. The width of the Crossover will remain at five feet and the total length will be approximately 500 feet. The materials used will be pressure treated lumber and all fasteners to the decking and handrails will be stainless steel screws. I am enclosing a "revised" sketch of the proposed improvements to the Crossover, along with seven pictures. The 11th Terrace Homeowners Association has awarded the contract to Rives E. Worrell Co. Inc. and they are ready to proceed with the work as soon as we obtain the necessary permit. Walter Murphy, president of Rives Worrell and a resident of 11th Terrace, will oversee the project. Both, the 11th Terrace neighbors and the general contractor, understand: 1. That the contractor will not be able to use any mechanical tools on the dunes, unless the tools rest exclusively on the Crossover. 2. No materials and /or tools can be stored on the sand dunes. 3. The walkway for the Crossover must stay three feet above the dunes except at both ends of the dunes, where it will be necessary to have a lesser height to get on and off the Crossover. 4. Vegetation can only be trimmed from two to three feet at both ends of the Crossover, where the new ramps will be built, and a maximum of 18" along the remaining part of the Crossover. Please feel free to call if you have any questions - my telephone number is 786 -7444. Again, many thanks for your help.

A handrail and a wall or other surface adjacent to the handrail shall be free of any sharp or abrasive elements. 1012.7 Projections. On ramps, the clear width between hand- rails shall be 36 inches (914 mm) minimum. Projections into the required width of stairways and ramps at each handrail shall not exceed 4.5 inches (114 mm) at or below the handrail height. Projections into the required width shall not be limited above the minimum headroom height required in Section 1009.2. 1012.8 Intermediate handrails. Stairways shall have intermediate handrails located in such a manner so that all por- tions of the stairway width required for egress capacity are within 30 inches (762 mm) of a handrail. On monumental stairs, handrails shall be located along the most direct path of egress travel. i i i SECTION 1013 GUARDS 1013.1 Where required. Guards shall be located along open -sided walking surfaces, mezzanines, industrial equip- ment platforms, stairways, ramps and landings that are located more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below. Guards shall be adequate in strength and attachment in accor- dance with Section 1607.7. Where glass is used to provide a guard or as a portion of the guard system, the guard shall also comply with Section 2407. Guards shall also be located along glazed sides of stairways, ramps and landings that are located more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below where the glazing provided does not meet the strength and attachment requirements in Section 1607.7. Exception: Guards are not required for the following loca- tions: 1. On the loading side of loading docks or piers. 2006 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE® MEANS OF EGRESS 2. On the audience side of stages and raised platforms, including steps leading up to the stage and raised plat- forms. 3. On raised stage and platform floor areas, such as run- ways, ramps and side stages used for entertainment or presentations. 4. At vertical openings in the performance area of stages and platforms. 5. At elevated walking surfaces appurtenant to stages and platforms for access to and utilization of special lighting or equipment. 6. Along vehicle service pits not accessible to the public. 7. In assembly seating where guards in accordance with Section 1025.14 are permitted and provided. 1013.2 Height. Guards shall form a protective barrier not less than 42 inches (1067 mm) high, measured vertically above the leading edge of the tread, adjacent walking surface or adjacent seatboard. Exceptions: 1. For occupancies in Group R -3, and within individual dwelling units in occupancies in Group R -2, guards whose top rail also serves as a handrail shall have a height not less than 34 inches (864 mm) and not more than 38 inches (965 mm) measured vertically from the leading edge of the stair tread nosing. 2. The height in assembly seating areas shall be in accor- dance with Section 1025.14. 1013.3 Opening limitations. Open guards shall have balusters or ornamental patterns such that a 4- inch - diameter (102 mm) sphere cannot pass through any opening up to a height of 34 inches (864 mm). From a height of 34 inches (864 mm) to 42 inches (1067 mm) above the adjacent walking surfaces, a sphere 8 inches (203 mm) in diameter shall not pass. Exceptions: 1. The triangular openings formed by the riser, tread and bottom rail at the open side of a stairway shall be of a maximum size such that a sphere of 6 inches (152 mm) in diameter cannot pass through the opening. 2. At elevated walking surfaces for access to and use of electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems or equip- ment, guards shall have balusters or be of solid mate- rials such that a sphere with a diameter of 21 inches (533 mm) cannot pass through any opening. 3. In areas that are not open to the public within occu- pancies in Group I -3, F, H or S, balusters, horizontal intermediate rails or other construction shall not per- mit a sphere with a diameter of 21 inches (533 mm) to pass through any opening. 4. In assembly seating areas, guards at the end of aisles where they terminate at a fascia of boxes, balconies and galleries shall have balusters or ornamental pat- terns such that a 4- inch - diameter (102 mm) sphere cannot pass through any opening up to a height of 26 inches (660 mm). From a height of 26 inches (660 mm) to 42 inches (1067 mm) above the adjacent 217 /4/2003 Appendix C Standard Conditions for Dune Crossovers Shore Protection Act O.C.G.A. 12 -5.230 Standard Permit Conditions for Dune Crossovers Only one crossover structure shall be allowed on a parcel. In considering the design and routing of a crossover, the shortest route over the lowest area of the dunes shall be plotted to minimize impacts to the sand sharing system. For new construction, no decks or viewing platforms will be approved in the jurisdictional area. Previously permitted and grandfathered structures may be maintained provided they are serviceable. Additionally, the applicant requesting the structure must own 100% of the private lands through which the structure crosses or have the express written permission of the owner. The following standard conditions shall apply to dune crossovers: 1. The height of the structure shall be at least 36" above the grade of the sand dune and the width shall be no greater than 6' as measured from the outside posts, to allow for sand movement or accretion in the dynamic dune field. 2. The terminal point of the crossover shall be seaward of the seaward most dune but shall not encroach seaward of the ordinary high water line in the active intertidal beach. 3. If the shoreline erodes and the crossover extends seaward of the ordinary high water line, it will be the responsibility of the applicant to move the permitted improvements back to the dry sand beach, landward of the ordinary high water line. 4. The structure shall begin at the toe of the landward most dune. 5. Heavy equipment is prohibited in the Shore Protection Act jurisdiction. This project must be constructed using hand tools. 6. Clearing and grading of dunes is not authorized in conjunction with the construction of this project; stockpiling of materials in the dunes is prohibited. 7. Vegetation may be cleared only for the width of the permitted structure. The maintenance trimming of jurisdictional vegetation will only be allowed within 6" of the sides of the structure and 7' high over the structure. 8. No motorized vehicles are permitted on the crossover structure, except for motorized wheelchairs for handicapped persons. 9. Any sand needed to restore the site to pre- project vegetated and topographic conditions, or for backfilling, must be beach quality and obtained from an upland source and not from the beach. 49 L-4 r Y OF 7YBEE ISLAND PA E o 7 firkin ? muei co y b'�.-ifh Th9 Pose-° }aftnal Uilldiiip Edition and Sta- * f31 G e z P ' Ari w'ndmePtt Received A/4 -15 -08 g6,22 Fig. 3 From °866 786 5737 SECT!
