Dear Sir or Madam:
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
December 29, 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 attached specifications, 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).
(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.

turtle nests or sea turtle hatchings.

no more than 5 feet in height. Wooden posts or stakes no larger than 2" X 4" or 3" diameter shalt support sand
