Dear Mr. Kerley:
I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning

have determined that the activity your propose is exempt from needing a minor
development permit as long as it remains consistent with your site drawing dated
May 6, 2015, and meet the conditions specified below. If you plans should change
and your project will no longer meet these conditions, please contact me before
proceeding.
STRUCTURAL ACCESSWAY EXEMPTED

pedestrian access to the ocean. beach.
2. The accessway must be constructed so as to make negligible alterations
