RE: Ocean Grove beach access stairway
L.t!f&1

HI Dan,
Just heading out the door, but real quick:
legal, pre-existing uses are "grandfathered", can continue existing and are not required to conform with the new
provisions
See Article 9 Exemptions about normal maintenance & repair on Pg 9-2
Also see Article 7.1 Beach Access Structures and the dimensional standards that would apply to new/expanded
structures on page7-3
Hope this helps,

Subject: Ocean Grove beach access stairway
Michelle,
I'm the manager of the Ocean Grove Homeowners Association. I attenoed your early meetings and, as an individual, I am
very supportive ofthe intentions of the PDSMP. I discount the alarmist mailing that I received from Barbara Bradford but
she raised one issue that I would like to have clarified before comments close tomorrow.
Ocean Grove currently has 77 residential structures and the possibility of another 30 or so. We own a parcel, including
200' of tidelands at Adelma Beach. It is high bluff and we have a stairway that has been in existence for several years.
The stairway also serves an adjacent property owner (by title agreement) and guests of (4) Bay Cottages.
What implications does thePDSMP have if we need to repair (or replace) the stairway? Is Bradford's statement that there
is a 12 foot height limit accurate? (I don't know the height of ours but it is probably close to that.) I tried to find guidance
in the document but I don't want to trust my reading alone.
Thanks for any clarification that you can provide.

I realize that we may have to get shoreline permits, including permits from the state. Will that still be possible.
