2006 Seaview Dunes Acquisitions
Description:
The Seaview Dunes area of the Long Beach Peninsula is one of the most spectacular views along the Washington coast. Long Beach consists of 26 miles of public beach. One portion, the Seaview Dunes, has long received local protection. However, the local zoning provided an opportunity for a handful of sites to be residential. These sites are now proposed for development. State Parks proposes to purchase seven parcels with 870 feet of ocean waterfront on 18 acres at market price from willing sellers. Two parcels are 'vested' for development. The grant funds will allow acquisition of properties proposed for residential development or zoned for residential development. This continues use of IAC grants in this area which funded purchase of two key additions to Cape Disappointment State Park. An inter-governmental planning effort is now underway involving the federal Corps of Engineers, the Department of Ecology, Pacific County, landowners, and community organizations. The goal is to identify property that needs to be acquired in order to retain this valuable landscape, protect important wetlands via local regulations and provide compensation to private landowners. This grant will serve as the acquisition funding mechanism.
