City staff are pleased with temporary erosion control efforts taking shape at the Morand family property at 4801 Anaco Beach Road, City Planning Director Ian Munce told the Anacortes City Council Monday.

“I’m delighted to report that Mr. Morand after the last meeting with the council.... has made substantial progress,” Munce said.

The council will review the situation in two weeks and decide whether to permanently suspend $300 a day fines imposed by the city earlier this year against the owner for failing to implement erosion controls on the eroding bluff. The erosion has taken part of a neighbor’s yard and threatens to undercut Anaco Beach Road.
