From the look of the draft document, this submittal is DOA. It is the worst of all the previous drafts when it comes to coastal hazards and seawalls. While the older versions at least had the hokey 'build seawalls now and remove them in 80 years' plan, the current version does NOTHING but maintain the status quo: continue to wall enough the shoreline to benefit a few dozen property owners at the expense of millions of other beachgoers, not to mention the other 99% of Solana Beach residents. The puny mitigation fees proposed aren't sufficient to buy coast front parcels or encourage people to move back. In fact, the City insanely suggests that it's "policy" will be to encourage SANDDAG and other people to buy and put sand on Solana Beaches ~ with hand out like a beggar. Hoping other people buy sand and throw it in front of a few mansions isn't a policy, it is a death sentence for public beaches! It looks like the City has just totally given up on the public and given in to rich development interests. Subsidize the rich, after all you might win the lottery some day and need to feed at the public trough also. If you doubt where you're going on this, wade through this pathetic stuff: <a href="http://solanabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=5&clip_id=923&meta_id=104330" rel="nofollow">http://solanabeach.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?vi...</a> Ok.
