Dear Mr. Horstmann:
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. Based on the information provided, I have determined that the activity
you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit as long as it remains consistent with your information dated received
by DCM on March, 20, 2013, and meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project will no longer
meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.

(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).

access. 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.
