Ile have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning
the filing of an application for a Minor Development Permit, under the Coastal Area
management Act for the construction a a beach accessway. This activity is exempt
from needing a Minor Development Permit, as longs as it meets the conditions specified
below:
A. The accessway must not exceed six (6) feet in width and must be for
private residential, or public access, to an ocean beach. This exemption
does not apply to accessways for commercial use, or for motor -powered vehicles.
B. The accessway must be constructed so as to make no alterations to the
frontal dunes that are not necessary to construct the accessway. This means
that wherever possible, the accessway must be constructed over the frontal dune
without any alteration of the dunes. In no case, shall the dune be altered
so as to significantly diminish it's capacity as a protective barrier against
flooding and erosion. Driving of pilings into the dune shall not be considered
alternation of a frontal dune for the purpose of this regulation.
C. The accessway shall conform with any applicable local or State Building
Code standards.
Any variation from the above will require a permit.
Yours truly,
