Dear Property Owner:
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 October 26,
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 the
conditions specified below. If you plans should change and your project will no
longer meet these conditions, please contact me before proceeding.

dunes by trapping wind blown sand; the protection of the dune(s) and
vegetation (planted or existing).

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

Wooden posts or stakes no larger than 2" X 4" or 3" diameter shall

farther waterward than the crest of the frontal or primary dune; 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 feel
waterward of the following locations, whichever is most
waterward: the first line of stable natural vegetation, the toe of

your obtaining any other State, Federal or Local authorization. This exemption
expires 90 days from the date of the letter.
