RE: Coastal Marshland Protection Committee Permit #608, Lazaretto Development, LLC,
Modification to a Public Marina Facility, Lazaretto Creek, Tybee Island, Chatham County,
Georgia
Dear Mr. Burns:
The Coastal Marshlands Protection Committee considered and approved permit # 608 referenced above
under the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act O.C.G.A. 12-5-280 et. seq. The permit placard and permit
conditions are attached to this letter. All decision documents (attached), as well as all other plans,
documents and materials submitted during the application process become terms of this permit and are
now enforceable conditions.
Staff of the Coastal Management Program has reviewed the above referenced application pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the River and Harbors Act or 1899 for
consistency with the Georgia Coastal Management Program (GCMP). The Program concurs with the
applicant's consistency certification to the extent that the project adheres to all conditions and restrictions
of Coastal Marshlands Protection Act Permit #608. Issuance of a federal permit that does not contain the
same conditions and/or restriction, as any issued state permit does not alleviate the permitee from
adhering to all components of state permits.
You may begin construction 30 days following permit issuance, provided there is no legal appeal of
this permit, you have all other necessary federal, state and local authorizations and you have met
all of the standard and special conditions as required by this permit.
Permitted Project Description•
The modification to an existing public marina facility by adding mooring space, a boat launch and
fueling. The existing 8'x 73' floating dock along with the 6'x 25' floating dock and the ramps leading to
them will be removed from the northern portion of the docks. The additional mooring space will include a
3' x 25' ramp extending channelward from the existing deck south of the ships store and attach to a 10'x
48' float (B), extending channelward and located north of the 36 X 15' boat launching area (N). A 10'x
55' staging float (D) will extend channelward attached by a 3'x 25' ramp (M) to the existing fixed 6 x
110' dock and will parallel float (B) with 24' separating the two floats for boat launching. A L-shaped
deck (E) to the east of the loading dock to allow access to the loading dock and new floats from the
existing deck. At the channelward end of float B, an 8'x 138' float (A) will extend north and parallel with
the shore. An 8'x 140' float (C) will attach to the landward end of float B and run north and parallel with
the shore. The dock will be located approximately 55' from the neighboring dock (P) to the north. The
northern portion (60) of float C will be dedicated to fuel sales. The fuel lines will follow the wooden deck
north of the ships store to a pump located in an existing 4'x 3' platform (H). A 12'x 20' kayak float (I)
will be attached to the south end of float C. A 15'x 36' boatlift (0) located on the southwestern side of the

approximately 5,426 square feet (4.12 acres) of coastal marshlands. The structure will extend
approximately 90' from mean low water into Lazaretto Greek where the Creek is approximately 280' wide
or 32% of the waterway. Standard and special conditions apply to this permit.
