TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
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 JANUARY15, 2016,1 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 JANUARY 13, 2013, 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).
2. Sand fencing shall not impede existing public access to the beach, recreational use of the
beach or emergency vehicle access.
3. 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.

endangers sea turtles, sea turtle nests or sea turtle hatchlings.
5. Non-functioning, damaged, or unsecured sand fence shall be immediately removed by the
property owner.
6. 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.
