Any person seeking to obtain a coastal use permit is required to file a completed
application to the state or to the office of environmental affairs. The state and
the office of environmental affairs can provide the application forms and instructions,
including example plats and interpretive assistance, to any interested party. The
office of environmental affairs will conduct the required environmental review/assessment
and make appropriate recommendations to the state department of natural resources,
and the applicant. The staff of the office of environmental affairs shall be available
for consultation prior to submission of an application and such consultation is strongly
recommended. Application forms may be periodically revised to obtain all information
necessary for review of the proposed project.
(b)
Separate applications shall be made for unrelated projects or projects involving noncontiguous
parcels of property. Joint applications may be made in cases of related construction
involving contiguous parcels of property.
