Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In 1991 the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. Included in Division II is Section 20.536.055 which allows Permits for Approval of Emergency Work. In cases of a verified emergency, temporary emergency authorization to proceed with remedial measures may be given by the Director or his or her designee until such time as a Coastal Development Permit application is filed. The Director shall report in writing to the Board of Supervisors at each meeting the emergency permits applied for or issued since the last report, with a description of the nature of the emergency and the work involved. The report of the Director shall be informational only. The decision to issue an emergency permit is solely at the discretion of the Director. Notice of emergency permits shall be provided by phone or letter to the California Coastal Commission within three (3) days, following issuance of the emergency permit.
Summary of Request:
The existing residence is located on a gently sloping terrace that ends at a cut slope. The Greenwood State Beach access road is located at the base of the cut slope. The emergency is the result of cut slope erosion that may enlarge further upslope and threaten the residence. A Geotechnical Investigation, prepared by Brunsing Associates, Inc. on August 8, 2024, determined that the cut slope erosion should be mitigated as soon as possible before the unstable area further enlarges. The investigation determined that the cut slope is in violation of Mendocino County Code Section 18.70.090 due to its steepness. The owner obtained an Emergency Permit in 2023 to construct a subsurface soldier pile and grade beam stabilization structure, but this was never pursued. The cut slope has continued to erode since that time.
The Emergency Permit was issued on October 28, 2024 and becomes null and void at the end of sixty (60) days. Prior to expiration of this Emergency Permit, the applicant must submit a standard Coastal Development Permit application for the work authorized by the permit.
Alternative Action/Motion:
