To Whom It May Concern:
We have received the information submitted to this office in your inquiry concerning the
necessity of filing an application for a minor development permit under the Coastal Area
Management Act. The activity you propose is exempt from needing a minor development permit
as long as it meets the conditions specified below. If your plans should change and your project
will no longer meet those conditions, please contact me before proceeding.

(1) The individual fence sections should not exceed ten(10) feet in length and should be
placed at least seven(7) feet apart (parallel to each other). Placement of fencing must be

(2) The sand fencing should consist of evenly spaced wooden slats wired together and
supported by wooden posts(2x4).
(3) The sand fencing should be placed as far landward as possible, but not on top of the dune.
Also the sand fencing must be anchored within 1 foot of the toe of the dune.
