I am writing to express my exasperation with trying to have rules in Mission Beach carried out evenly and fairly to all homeowners in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Our representative to the California Coastal Commission\u2019s office advised me that homeowners were required to trim all foliage on private property back to their legal property lines.\u00a0The California Coastal Commission required that my plantings and fencing not be higher than three feet tall so I wouldn\u2019t block my neighbor\u2019s views.\u00a0 I have an issue with a tree on my neighbor\u2019s property that has been left untrimmed for the last six years that is dangling\u00a0over my property.\u00a0Although the fire department has deemed it a fire hazard, and the commissioner\u2019s office has said it should be trimmed, nothing has been done to satisfy these concerns and laws.\u00a0 I am well aware that new requirements are established for new construction.\u00a0Having completed construction on my home in December 2010, I had to adhere to specific building codes. Some of them were to make sure I did not block my neighbors\u2019 sun, view and enjoyment of the beach area.\u00a0If that was a requirement for me, why shouldn\u2019t it hold true for older homes that have trees or shrubbery blocking the view and sun of others at the beach?\u00a0 If there are rules and regulations as to when you can walk dogs without leashes and pick up after them in order for people to get enjoyment out of the beach, why shouldn\u2019t a homeowner be required to keep the beach in front of their home free of debris from the trees that cover the sand in sap, pine needles and pine cones? If rules are to be made to increase land values, as well as residential enjoyment of the areas, then I think they should be applied to all residents equally.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
