ORDERS:

AMENDED ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On June 7, 2001 this court issued its Order of Dismissal in the above matter based upon a compromised settlement of the issues presented. This court is now advised that the parties seek to have the June 7th Order amended so as to increase the size of certain of the pier heads plus floating docks which was addressed in paragraph 3, and to delete one of the docks which was the subject of the original appeal and to consolidate two docks into one joint-use dock. The amended agreement is as follows:

  • All of the permits for docks at Polawana Island shall be amended to add the

following special condition:

Prior to any construction, the permittee shall stake out the proposed dock location and arrange for an inspection by OCRM staff; no construction shall occur until OCRM staff has approved the location in writing as the least damaging location as to shellfish resources.



  • The dock permits that contain a special condition allowing roofs up to a maximum

height of 15' above mean high water shall be amended to limit roofs to a maximum of 12' above mean high water. The permits affected by this change include the following:

OCRM-99-1089 Robert Carlton

OCRM-99-1090 David and Joann Dubeck

OCRM-99-1091 Wayne Webb

OCRM-99-1093 Alex Darnell

OCRM-99-1094 Paul Keyserling

OCRM-99-1118 Elbert Cunningham

OCRM-99-1121 William Powell

OCRM-99-1179 Marcia Hale

OCRM-99-1180 Walter Cunningham



  • In order to comply with OCRM Regulation 30-12.A.(2)(q), the following permits will be amended to limit the total size of the docks (pierhead plus any floating dock(s) to the size listed below as the "New Limit":

Permit No. Creek Width Permitted New Limit

OCRM-99-1089 50' 260 sq. ft. 200 sq. ft.

OCRM-99-1092 80' 260 200

OCRM-99-1093 135' 260 200

OCRM-99-1097 45' 260 200

OCRM-99-1099 110' 260 200

OCRM-99-1177 50' 180 180



In accordance with this agreement, OCRM shall amend the affected permits as indicated herein.

4. P/N 00-1E-044-P is hereby amended so that the approved dock corridor and the

dock will be shifted from its presnt location 85' to the northeast at the beginning of the walkway. The new dock alignment will allow the dock to go directly into Whitners Landing Creek. (See Exhibit A attached hereto.) Accordingly, P/N 00-1E-044-P is restored to its original dimensions (pierhead plus any floating dock) of 260 sq. ft.

5. P/N OCRM-99-1096, issued to Anthony R. Porter, owner of Lot S-9, is hereby

canceled; and P/N OCRM-99-1094 issued to Paul Keyserling, owner of Lot N-12, and P/N OCRM-99-1179 issued to Marcia Hale, owner of Lot N-13, is to be amended to provide for a joint-use dock for Lots N-12 and N-13. Appropriate restrictions running with the land shall be placed of record to insure that no dock will be constructed from Lot S-9 and that Lots N-12 and N-13 will be limited to one joint use dock.

NOW, THEREFORE, upon the joint motion and consent of the parties, this case is hereby dismissed, with prejudice except as to enforcement of the terms of the agreement stated herein.













AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
