I have reviewed the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the
necessary filing of an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area
Management Act. After making a site inspection on March 26, 2009, 1 have determined that
the activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it is
installed in accordance with your site drawing, submitted on March 25, 2009 and meets the
conditions specified below. If you plans should change and your project will no longer meet
these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.
SAND FENCE CONDITIONS:
(1) Sand fencing may only be installed for the purpose of: building sand dunes by
trapping wind blown sand; the protection of the dune(s) and vegetation (planted or
existing).
(1) Sand fencing shall not impede existing public access to the beach, recreational use
of the beach or emergency vehicle access.
(2) Sand fencing shall not be installed in a manner that impedes or restricts
established common law and statutory rights of public access and use of public
trust lands and waters.
(3) Sand fencing shall not be installed in a manner that impedes, traps or otherwise
endangers sea turtles, sea turtle nests or sea turtle hatchlings.
(4) Non-functioning, damaged, or unsecured sand fence shall be immediately removed
by the property owner.
(5) Sand fencing shall be constructed from evenly spaced thin wooden vertical slats
connected with twisted wire, no more than 5 feet in height. Wooden posts or
stakes no larger than 2" X 4" or 3" diameter shall support sand fencing.
(6) Location:
a) Sand fencing shall be placed as far landward as possible to avoid
interference with sea turtle nesting, existing public access, recreational use
of the beach, and emergency vehicle access.
b) Sand fencing shall not be placed on the wet sand beach area.
c) Sand fencing installed parallel to the shoreline shall be located no farther
waterward than the crest of the frontal or primary dune; or
d) Sand fencing installed waterward of the crest of the frontal or primary dune
shall be installed at an angle no less than 45 degree to the shoreline.
Individual sections of sand fence shall not exceed more than 10 feet in
length and shall be spaced no less than seven feet apart, and shall not
extend more than 10 feet waterward of the following locations, whichever is
most waterward: the first line of stable natural vegetation, the toe of the
frontal or primary dune, or erosion escarpment of frontal or primary dune.
This exemption to CAMA permit requirements does not alleviate the necessity of your
obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization. This exemption expires 90 days
from the date of the letter.
