At my oceanfront property, which I have owned for 15 years, the <br />situation is by far the worst it has ever been. I must emphasize the damage is very extensive in <br />our Sanderling subdivision and our homes are at risk. There is no question in my mind that some <br />homes will be lost if another storm hits unless something can be done immediately to rebuild the <br />dunes. <br />You will recall that some time ago we approached the County Commission about obtaining your <br />approval to allow beach scrapping, a quick and inexpensive method by which oceanfront property <br />owners essentially scrape a small amount of sand at low tide and push the sand up to rebuild and <br />enhance the dune structure. At that time the only repair to the dunes was on County property. <br />Now, a true emergency clearly exists and even our County Engineer, Jim Davis, acknowledges <br />that "seven or eight miles of our dune system in the county are critically eroded" and need <br />immediate attention. <br />SEPTEMBER 219 1999 <br />37 <br />• <br />
