AEC HAZARD NOTICE
Project Is In An: Zocean Erodible Area ZHigh Hazard Flood Area Inlet Hazard Area
Date Lot Was Platted:
This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware
of the special risks and conditions associated with
development in this area, which is subject to natural
hazards such as storms, erosion and currents. The rules of
the Coastal Resources Commission require that you
receive an AEC Hazard Notice and acknowledge that
notice in writing before a permit for development can be
issued.
The Commission's rules onbuilding standards, oceanfront
setbacks and dune alteration are designed to minimize,but
not eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting
permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not
guarantee the safety of the development and assumes no
liability for future damage to the development.
The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual ocean
erosion rate for the area where your property is located is
d feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial
photographs of the coastline taken over the past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as
much ass3PQ feet landward in a major storm.
Th floodwaters in a major storm are predicted to be about
% 1 feet deep in this area.
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach
nourishment and relocation of threatened structures.
Hard erosion control structures such as bulkheads,
seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties and breakwaters are
prohibited. Temporary devices, including sand bags, may
be allowed under certain conditions.
This structure shall be relocated or dismantled within two
years of becoming imminently threatened.
The applicant must acknowledge this information and
requirements by signing this notice in the below space.
Without the proper signature, the application will not be
complete.
� Applica s ature
Date
SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for
development in areas subject to sudden and massive
storms and erosion. Permits issued for development in this
area expire on December 31 of the third year following the
year in which the permit was issued. Shortly before work
begins on the project site, the Local Permit Officer will
determine the vegetation line and setback distance at your
site. If the property has seen little change and the proposed
development can still meet the setback requirement, the
LPO will inform you that you may begin work. It is impor-
tant that you check with the LPO before the permit expires
for official approval to continue the work after the permit
has expired. Generally, if foundation pilings have been
placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit
renewal may not be necessary. If substantial progress has
not been made, the permit must be renewed and a new
setback line established. It is unlawful to continue work
after permit expiration without this approval.

BEFORE YOU BUILD
Setting Back for Safety: A Guide to Wise Development Along the Oceanfront
When you build along the oceanfront you take a calculated
risk. Natural forces of water and wind collide with tons of
force, even on calm days.
Man-made structures cannot be guaranteed to survive the
force of a hurricane. Long-term erosion (or barrier island
migration) may take from two to ten feet of the beach each
year and, sooner or later, will threaten oceanfront struc-
tures. These are the facts of life for oceanfront property
owners.
The Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) has adopted
rules for building along the oceanfront. The rules are in-
tended to avoid an unreasonable risk to life and property
and to limit public and private losses from storms and
long-term erosion. These rules lessen but do not eliminate
the element of risk in oceanfront development.
As you consider building along the oceanfront, the CRC
wants you to understand the rules and the risks. With this
knowledge you can make a more informed decision about
where and how to build in the coastal area.
The Rules
When you build along the oceanfront, coastal manage-
ment rules require that the structure be sited to fit safely
into the beach environment.
Structures along the oceanfront must be behind the frontal
dune, landward of the crest of the primary dune and set
back from the first line of natural stable vegetation a dis-
tance equal to 30 times the annual erosion rate (a minimum
of 60 feet). Large structures (multi-familyresidential struc-
tures greater than 5,000 square feet and non-residential
structures greater than 5,000 square feet) must be set back
from the first line of natural stable vegetation a distance
equal to 60 times the annual erosion rate or 120 feet,

whichever is greater. If the erosion rate is greater than 3.5
feet/year, the setback is 30 times the erosion rate plus 105
feet.
The Reasons
The beachfront is an ever -changing landform. The beach
and the dunes are natural "shock absorbers", taking the
beatings of the winds and waves and protectin the inland
areas. By setting back 30 or 60 times the annual long-term
erosion rate; you have a good chance of enjoying the full
life of the structure. At first, it seems very inviting to build
your dream house as close to the beach as possible, but in
five years you could, find the dream has become a
nightmare as high tides and storm tides threaten your
investment.
The Exception
The Coastal Resources Commission recognized that these
rules, initially passed in June of 1979, might prove a
hardship for some property owners. Therefore, they estab-
lished an exception for lots which cannot meet the setback
requirement. The exception allows buildings in front of the
setback line if the following conditions apply:
(1) the lot must have been platted as of June 1,1979, and
notcapableof being enlarged by combining with adjoining
land under the same ownership, (2) development must be
as far back on the property as possible and in no case less
than 60 feet landward of the vegetation line, (3) no
development can take place on the frontal dune (4) special
construction standards on piling depth and square footage
must be met and (5) all other CAMA, state and local
regulations must be met.
The exception is not available in the Inlet Hazard Area.
To determine eligibility for the exception, the Local Permit
Officer will make these measurements and observations:
required setback from vegetation line
exception setback (maximum feasible)
rear property line setback
max. allowable square footage on lowest floor
lot area as calculated from vegetation line
piling length needed to extend 4 feet below MSL
PRE -PERMIT STRUCTURE; INADEQUATE SETBACK

After the storm, the house on the dune will be gone. The other house has a much better chance of survival.

as measured from the bottom of the decking.
(e) Any portion of a pier (either fixed or floating) extending from the main structure and six feet or less in width shall be
considered either a "T" or a finger pier.
(f) Except in the case of boat houses, any portion of a structure (either fixed or floating) greater than six feet wide shall be
considered a platform or deck.
(g) "T"s, finger piers, platforms, and decks of piers on lots with shorelines 100 feet or greater in length shall not exceed a
combined total area of 400 square feet. The combined total area for lots less than 100 feet shall not exceed four square feet
per linear foot of shoreline.
(h) Platforms and decks shall have no more than six feet of any dimension extending over coastal wetlands.
(i) The width requirements established in Paragraphs (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Rule shall not apply to pier structures in
existence on or before July 1, 2001 when structural modifications are needed to prevent or minimize storm damage. In these
cases, pilings and cross bracing may be used to provide structural support as long as they do not extend more than of two feet
on either side of the principal structure. These modifications may not be used to expand the floor decking of platforms and
piers.
0) Boathouses shall not exceed 400 square feet and shall have sides extending no further than one-half the height ofthe walls
as measured in a downward direction from the top wall plate or header and only covering the top half of the walls.
Measurements of square footage shall be taken of the greatest exterior dimensions. Boathouses shall not be allowed on lots
with less than 75 linear feet of shoreline.
(k) The area enclosed by a boat lift shall not exceed 400 square feet.
(1). Piers, docks, decks, platforms and boat houses shall be single story. They may be roofed but shall not be designed to
allow second story use.

(m) Pier alignments along federally maintained channels must also meet Corps of Engineers regulations for pier construction
pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act.
(n) Piers, docks, and boat houses shall in no case extend more than 1/4 the width of a natural water body, human -made canal
or basin. Measurements to determine widths of the water body, human -made canals or basins shall be made from the
.waterward edge of any coastal wetland vegetation which borders the water body. The 1/4 length limitation shall not apply
when the proposed pier is located between longer piers within 200 feet of the applicant's property. However, the proposed
pier shall not be longer than the pier
head line established by the adjacent
piers, nor, longer than 1/3 the width of
the water body.
(o) Piers, docks and boat houses shall
not interfere with the access to any
riparian property, and shall have a
minimum setback of 15 feet between
1 any part of the pier and the adjacent
property lines extended into the water
at the points that they intersect the
„ shoreline. The minimum setbacks
provided in the rule may be waived by
the written agreement of the adjacent
riparian owner(s), or when two
9dr- •.a adjoining riparian owners are
co -applicants. pp • nts. Should the adjacent
property be sold before construction of
the pier commences, the applicant shall

may be obtained from the Division of Coastal Management. When shoreline configuration is such that a perpendicular
alignment cannot be achieved, the pier shall be aligned to meet the intent of this Rule to the maximum extent practicable.
(p) Piers, and mooring facilities shall be designed to provide docking space for no more than two boats.
(q) Applicants for authorization to construct a dock or pier shall provide notice of the permit application to the owner of any
part of a shellfish franchise or lease over which the proposed dock or pier would extend. The applicant shall allow the lease
