The Ocean Harbor House was concerned over coastal erosion to their property. A seawall was erected to aid in prolonging waves from impacting the structures. This page describes the process that occurred.
Structure before seawall from CSUMB Review
Contents
Background
The Ocean Harbor House is comprised of 172 condominiums located on Del Monte Beach in Monterey,CA. It was initially constructed in the 1960's and had various additions through the years. Because the structure was built in close vicinity to the ocean, concerns over coastal erosion, wave impact, storm surge, and property damage accumulated through the years. This led the associated homeowners to investigate protection solutions. The homeowners applied to both the California Coastal Commission and City of Monterey for a permit to construct a 585 foot seawall.[1]
Environmental Impact Report
Acting as the lead agency, the Monterey Planning Division of the City of Monterey, created an environmental impact report. It was reported that the proposed seawall would generate a peninsula effect around the structure. The sandy beach area surrounding the structure would erode leaving the structure extending out towards the ocean. This was deemed aesthetically displeasing resulting in a loss of visual character. In addition the beach would no longer be continuous preventing beach goers from full access therefore reducing recreational function and use.[2]
Lawsuit
The homeowners of the Ocean Harbor House sued the California Coastal Commission over the fee imposed for the seawall installation.
