the lucky part was this ......
its a severe federal law against disturbing seagrapes and sea grass on oceanfront sand dunes-
but the EPA gave us that one 12' x 12' spot which was an empty 'wasteland ' -
the EPA approval came thru because their position is the those WOODEN support posts
are considered ' structure ' - ( no metal or concrete is allowed )
which actually help to keep the dune in place-
for all the rest of that empty area -we are required to plant more seagrapes
its interesting to note --that although individual citizens can have deeds to oceanfront properties-
its ONLY the federal government that can decide exactly what can be built or planted on the sand
and the dunes
