PROJECT LOCATION/ADDRESS —4336 Island Drive
Dear Mr. Coley:
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 7/29/2009 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 7/29/2009, 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.
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.

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.

farther waterward than the crest of the frontal or primary dune; or
