China Cove Seawall Gets Coastal Commission OK

The California Coastal Commission today voted unanimously to allow a China Cove homeowner make repairs to a seawall that failed last summer, causing the foundation of his house to cave in during a remodel.

In the July meeting held in Santa Rosa, the commissioners this morning agreed to place the item on the consent calendar. There was no other discussion about the plans submitted by homeowner Harley Broviak, who wants to repair the seawall on his Cove Street home.

The house nearly caved in completely last July when a crack in the seawall allowed sand to filter out, leaving a gaping hole under the home’s foundation. City crews responded within hours, using slurry and boards to keep the house from falling down completely.
