Dear Ms. Kohlmyer,
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with background information and the
rationale for our support of the referenced exemption applications for marine construction
in Queens Cove.
Background
Queens Cove is a deed restricted community and as such the home owners
association, Q.C.P.O.A., is the owner of the community property. That ownership
includes the canal bottoms. In some respects the Q.C.P.O.A. covenants are more
restrictivd than the Florida DEP/ACOE regulations. Because of this we request the
applicant 'submit plans to the association for pre -approval before going to the required
government agencies. In addition, the Q.C.P.O.A. covenants require that all government
exemptions/permits be in place before the association issues fmal approval and allows
construction to proceed.
Rationale
ne'above referenced jobs were reviewed by the Q.C.P.O.A. Environmental
Committee and were considered to be the best utilization of the end of the canal for all
four property owners by concentrating the marine construction on the end lots to the
middle ofithe canal. To wit:
1. 1 Minimizes the navigational impact on the riparian rights of the side lots.
2. , Moves the associated boats farther away from the adjoining side lots and
thereby reduces the potential for boats colliding during docking.
Tliis issue has come up before in Queens Cove and our experience has been that
utilizing finger piers perpendicular to the property line, with associated boatlifts/ dolphin
poles, accomplishes the above.
In !conclusion, we hope the above assists you in your review of the referenced jobs
and that you agree with our conclusion and approve the plans su mitted.
