Richard Grant owns the property where the wall was installed, and his house there was most affected the collapse leaving the living room dangling slightly off the side of the cliff. Houses on either side are also endangered, with precious few feet between them and the newly eroded cliffside.
Grant is now looking for a “Band-Aid” solution so he can figure out a long-term plan on how to save his property, but according to county officials, there likely isn’t much to be done because of Oregon Goal 18 restrictions, which prevent installation of shore armoring structures like riprap or seawalls for any property that began development after Jan. 1, 1977.
