their contents. The property owners will need to arrange for the moving
company and at least one property owner from each property must accompany the
moving crew. They should attend the Security Checkpoint on Twin Beaches Rd at
07:45 a.m. or 1:15 p.m. on their scheduled date.
4. Due to the fact that property owners and moving crews will be transported
via the Pontoon boat to their property – a maximum of 6 persons (owners &
movers) will be allowed for each property.

8. Both Permanent and Seasonal property owners will be allowed 5 hours to
conduct the move, however, in the case of Seasonal property owners there will be
two transported per barge trip; therefore they will only be allowed to move
contents out that would fill their half of the barge. This is necessary due to
the tight timeframe that we will have access to the Coast Guard barge services.
