What is the Bane Bill?
Many of my clients have inquired about the Bane Bill, a piece of legislation which governs views from Highway One to the ocean and the size of homes on the meadow west of Highway One. If you have propety on the west meadow, the Bane Bill will be of interest to you. Essentially the bill limits the square footage of homes on the west meadow to 2200 square feet. Scenic view easements determined by the Bane Bill have ordered the removal of trees along Highway One, and may affect privacy on property next to the highway. Visit this link to The Sea Ranch Association website (http://www.tsra.org/Bane.htm) for the original language of the Bill, as well as information on scenic easements.
