The California Coastal Commission has sent Malibu homeowner Mark Attanasio a violation notice for scooping sand from a public beach.
As the Milwaukee Brewers begin their playoff run, the team’s owner, Mark Attanasio, is embroiled in a legal battle back in California revolving around one of the state’s most precious resources: sand. In August, Attanasio’s neighbor filed a lawsuit accusing the businessman of stealing sand from Malibu’s Broad Beach and carrying it back to his property as part of a construction project to repair a damaged seawall. Now, the California Coastal Commission is getting in on the action.
Along with the notice, the commission attached an additional notice from 2008 accusing the Brewers owner of scooping sand from the beach for a different house he owned half a mile away. The 2008 notice claimed that Attanasio constructed an illegal seawall made of sandbags and metal poles along a stretch of public beach, planted invasive plant species on a sand dune and impeded public access to the beach. Attanasio sold that beach house to “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman last year for $23.
