Dear David and Elaine:
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 4/7/17, I 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 417/17, 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.

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.
