OCEAN HAZARD AEC
PROJECT LOCATION/ADDRESS — 248 East First Street
Dear Sir or Madam:
Exemption No: Qtr 2-15
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 inspecOrn on
October 20, 20% 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 the attached specifications, and meets the conditions spedfled 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).
(2) Sand fencing shall not impede existing public access to the beach, recreational use of the beach or emergency
vehicle 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.
(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. 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.
(a) Sand fencing shall not be placed on the wet sand beach area.
(b) Sand fencing installed parallel to the shoreline shall be located no farther waterward than the
crest of the frontal or primary dune; or
(c) 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. ,-i E C E I V E D
