§ 127-10. Structural hazard area restrictions.

The following restrictions apply to regulated activities within structural hazard areas:

A. 

A coastal erosion management permit is required for the installation of public service distribution, transmission or collection systems for gas, electricity, water or wastewater. Systems installed along the shoreline must be located landward of the shoreline structures.

B. 

The construction of nonmovable structures or placement of major nonmovable additions to an existing structure is prohibited.

C. 

Permanent foundations may not be attached to movable structures, and any temporary foundations are to be removed at the time the structure is moved. Below-grade footings will be allowed if satisfactory provisions are made for their removal.

D. 

No movable structure may be located closer than 25 feet to the landward limit of a bluff.

E. 

No movable structure may be placed or constructed such that, according to accepted engineering practice, its weight places excessive groundloading on a bluff.

F. 

Plans for landward relocation of movable structures must be included with each application for a permit. Movable structures which have been located within a structural hazard area pursuant to a coastal erosion management permit must be removed before any part of the structure is within 10 feet of the receding edge. The last owner of record, as shown on the latest assessment roll, is responsible for removing that structure and its foundation, unless a removal agreement was attached to the original coastal erosion management permit. With the attachment of a removal agreement to the coastal erosion management permit, the landowner or the signator is responsible for the landward relocation of movable structures. Removal agreements may be made when the last owner of record and the owner of the structure are different with the approval of the City at the time the permit is issued.

G. 

Debris from structural damage which may occur as a result of sudden unanticipated bluff edge failure, dune migration or wave or ice action must be removed within 60 days of the damaging event.

H. 

Any grading, excavation or other soil disturbance conducted within a structural hazard area must not direct surface water runoff over a bluff face.
