| PERMITTING: |
| IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN DISTRICT’S EASEMENTS |
| A permit shall be obtained from the District prior to the construction of any docks, decks, fences, brick pavers, seawalls, sprinkler intake lines or other improvements within the easements, rights-of-way or water management areas of the District. The District will review each permit application on its own merits and determine its impact on the water management works of the District. During the review process the District conducts a field inspection of the property to determine if the easements are in conformance with the District’s policy, specifically landscaping and electrical improvements are only permitted if they meet strict District requirements. Click on landscaping and electrical installations below for details. The applicant shall submit a current complete and sealed survey of the property with each permit application. The survey shall indicate the existing edge of water, easements, drainage structures, horizontal and vertical location of the control elevation and top of bank and all necessary topography. Along with the survey, the applicant shall submit a copy of the property owner's recorded warranty deed, a homeowners association authorization letter, where applicable, and the associated permit fee. An indemnification agreement will be required with all applications for sprinkler intake lines larger than 2 inches in diameter, docks, decks and seawalls. For all improvements requiring an indemnification agreement, engineering drawings are to be submitted on 11 inch x 17 inch paper size or smaller. The proposed improvement is to be dimensioned and located on the survey in relation to the property lines. |
