MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1361

STATIONARY BLIND OR BLIND SITE MAY BE PLACED PURSUANT
TO THE PROVISIONS OF §10-617 (A).

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) presently appears
as Article 66C, section 161(b) of the Code.
The reference to present section 154 is
proposed for deletion and the corresponding
proposed section is substituted therefor.
The last sentence is proposed for deletion
because its substance appears as proposed
subsection (e).

Subsection (b) presently appears as Article
66C, section 161(a) of the Code and is set
forth here to define how much shoreline a
riparian owner must own in order to erect a
stationary blind or blind site.

Subsection (c) is new language derived from
the second provision of Article 66C,
section 1 56 (b).

Subsection (d) also is new language derived
from Article 66C, section 157(b) of the
Code. The present provision requires
blinds to be at least 700 yards apart
which, by necessity, means that the blinds
have to be 350 yards from the adjoining
property.

Subsection (e) is new language derived from
Article 66c, section 161 (b).

The only other changes made are in style.
