Actions & Comments

See report for Mile 210 for pictures of the area.I have taken no action on this project - BA687-13 sited at 13520 S. Coast Hwy.(Lost Creek, Lincoln Co.) - as a house built in 1971 grandfathers in the location for approval. I notified Oregon Shores that two recent similar projects to this one on Mile 209 were contested and the effort went for naught. I didn't want to spend the time and effort to make a case against this project as a near-certain loser.It is a large project and encroaches - was approved for - 12 to 15 feet onto the beach.
