Coastal Commission asks Wavecrest owners about their plans for farming


By on Tue, September 19, 2006

The California Coastal Commission has sent a letter to Concar Enterprises asking some pointed questions about the nature of the agriculture they’re undertaking on the site [pdf of letter]. Concar is the owner of the portion of Wavecrest that was disked on Wednesday, September 6.

In a letter dated Wednesday, September 13, Coastal Commission Enforcement Analyst Jo Ginsberg asks fifteen questions, including what they plan to grow, to whom they plan to sell it, what they expect to get for it, and what it cost for security monitors on the site.

Two years ago, Coastsider estimated that Concar could gross between $5,000 and $10,000 by growing hay on the land as they planned at the time.

I called Jo Ginsberg, but she declined to discuss an ongoing investigation.
