MEMORANDUM TO:�/Jeff Schaffer SEP 0 5 19Z FRO John Crew . 7L ar DATE: 28 August 1995 SUBJECT: NC DOT Re oom Facility, North Doc erry Terminal, Ocracoke Isl This proposal, while on Ocracoke Island, is not included in the Ocracoke Village portion of the May 1992 CRC certified Hyde County Land Use Plan update. Therefore, no specific dialogue on proposals of this type are included in the Ocracoke portion of the plan. A general statement is included in the policy topic Commitment to State and Federal Programs, page IV-19, that notes "The county will continue to fully support such programs, especially the North Carolina Department of Transportation road and bridge improvements program and ferry service, which are vital to Ocracoke." It is not possible to provide an opinion to this proposal's consistency with the Ocracoke plan, as the project is outside of Ocracoke Villages planning authority. cc: `Preston Pate John Parker State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources • • Division of Coastal Management r James B.

To further substantiate my reasons for recommending denial of the permit, North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) 113A-120(a) says, "The responsible official or body shall deny an application for a permit upon finding: (6) In the case of natural hazard areas, that the development would occur in one or more of the areas identified in subdivisions a through e of G.S. 113A-113(b)(6) in such a manner as to unreasonably endanger life or property. (8) In any case, that the development is inconsistent with the State guidelines or the local land use plans." Since the proposed project is in the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern, and is situated seaward of the oceanfront setback requirement, there is the possibility of endangerment to the structure and the area designated for the subsurface waste disposal due to erosion and the instability of the Inlet Hazard AEC. Development seaward of the setback is inconsistent with our rules [7H.0310(a)(1)]. NCGS 113A-120(a)(6) refers to NCGS 113A-113(b)(6) which describes the designation of AEC's by the Coastal Resources Commission. Furthermore, if the decision is made to issue the permit, and the permit is conditioned to where significant changes are made to the project, the applicant must submit new plats showing all changes prior to the commencement of construction.

Schecter, Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Parker THROUGH: Terry Moore �/yj FROM: Jeff Schaffer ,7Rg DATE: 25 August 1995 �Ja ED FE F1 SUBJECT: NC Department of Transportation Major Permit Application I have initiated my review of this project even though the application is incomplete. The applicant has not provided all the information necessary to evaluate a project in the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern. The' proposed project is in the Inlet Hazard AEC on the north end of Ocracoke Island on Highway 12 adjacent Hatteras Inlet. During my 23 August 1995 onsite inspection, I measured the oceanfront setback required for this project calcuated using 30 times the average annual erosion rate for a total of 360'. My measurements indicate that over 50% of the proposed project is located waterward of the established oceanfront setback. Based upon my onsite investigation, this project is inconsistent with 711.0310(a)(1) which states, "All development in the inlet hazard area shall be set back from the first line of stable natural vegetation a distance equal to the setback required in the adjacent ocean hazard area. ",_as well as .0306 which says. "...The erosion setback line shall be set at a distance of 30 times the long- term annual erosion rate..." Due to these inconsistencies,.I recommend denial of the permit. Should the decision be made to issue the requested permit, it should be conditioned to compensate for the above referenced inconsistencies and insufficient information required to determine the project's consistency with other standards such as NCAC 7H.0308(d)(1) and (3). All other aspects of the proposal appear to be consistent with 711.0310, USE STANDARD_ S FOR INLET HAZARD AREAS. I recommend the following conditions: 1. The foundation pilings and the waste treatment system must be located landward of the first line of stable natural vegetation a minimum distance of 360 feet: 2. The finished, first floor level must comply with the elevation requirements of the Hyde County. Flood Prevention Ordinance as required by the National Flood Insurance Program. 3. The structure and the associated waste disposal system shall be relocated or dismantled when they become imminently threatened by changes in shoreline configuration. The structure and waste disposal system shall be relocated or dismantled within two years of the time when it becomes imminently threatened, and in any case upon their collapse, subsidence'or failure. However, if natural shoreline recovery or beach renourishment takes place within two years of the time the structure and waste disposal system become 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 919-946-6481 .

This condition shall not affect the permit holder's right to seek authorization of temporary protective measures allowed under NCAC 711.0308(a)(2). 4. No development shall begin until the oceanfront setback requirement can be established. When the possessor of a permit or a ruling of exception is ready to begin construction, that person shall arrange an onsite meeting with representatives from the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Coastal Management to determine the oceanfront setback. This setback determination shall replace the one done at the time the permit was processed and approved and construction must begin within 60 days from the date of that meeting. In the case of a major shoreline change within that period a new setback determination will be required before construction begins. Upon completion of the measurement, the Division will issue a written statement to the permittee certifying the same. 5. All structures in the ocean hazard area shall be on pilings not less than eight inches in diameter if round or eight inches to a side if square. 6. All construction within the ocean hazard area must comply with building requirements in Chapter 34, Volume 1 and/or Section 39, Volume 1B of the NC Building Code. 7. All foundations and structures must be designed to be stable during applicable fluctuations in ground elevation and wave force during a 100 year storm. 8. All pilings must have a tip penetration greater than eight feet below the lowest ground elevation under the structure. For those, structures so located on the primary dune or nearer to the ocean, the pilings must extend to five feet below mean sea level. 9. In accordance with 15 NCAC 711.0308(a), no seawall or riprap revetments will be allowed in the future should the structure and/or waste disposal system become threatened from erosion. 10. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance with the terms and- conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement if he abandons the project without having the permit transferred to a third party.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a new restroom building and, its associated waste disposal system to replace the previously existing facility and its failed septic system. NC Department of Transportation Construct a new restroom facility with the associated waste disposal system Ocracoke Island, Hyde County Project setting The project site is located off NC 12 adjacent the Atlantic Ocean, Pamlico Sound and Hatteras Inlet at the North Dock Ferry Terminal situated at the north end of Ocracoke Island in Hyde County, North Carolina. The proposed project is situated entirely in the Inlet Hazard Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The area affected by the proposed project is high ground and is predominately vegetated by Spartina patens, sea oats, green brier and wax myrtle. Based upon my 23 August 1995 onsite inspection, field indicators suggest that the area designated for subsurface waste disposal, as shown on the'attached plats, was at one time a dredge spoil site or that area has been filled with. dredged material (sand and shell). Structures already existing on the project site are an asphalt parking lot, the Ocracoke to Hatteras Ferry office building and ferry basin. According to the applicant, the previously existing restroom facility and septic field have already been removed. The Atlantic Ocean is classified as SB waters, and Pamlico Sound and Hatteras Inlet are Estuarine Waters classified as SA waters by the Environmental Management Commission. This area of Pamlico Sound is not designated as a Primary Nursery Area. Although shellfish inhabit this area, this portion of Pamlico Sound is closed to harvest. Project description The applicant is proposing to construct a new restroom building and its associated waste disposal system to replace the previously existing facility and its failed septic system. During an onsite inspection, I measured the distance from the first line of stable natural vegetation to establish the oceanfront setback of 360' (30 x 12' Average Annual Erosion Rate). Based upon my measurements, over 50% of the proposed project is located seaward of the oceanfront setback requirement in the Inlet Hazard AEC (see attached Field Plat). The proposed footprint of the building is 45' long by 28' wide with an 18" roof overhang totalling 1,488 square feet of covered area. On the north side of the proposed building, the applicant plans to install a wooden ramp and deck to allow for access by handicapped persons. As proposed, the waste disposal system has a design flow of 5,000 gallons per day and consists of a 5,000 gallon septic tank with dual effluent filters installed in parallel; a 4,000 ,gallon pump tank; a duplex pump dosing system, with 2 inch pump discharge piping, 3 inch supply line, 4 inch manifold and associated appurtenances; and two low pressure pipe drainfields totaling 2,070 linear feet. The proposed drainfield, including repair areas measures 180' long by 120' wide and is situated east of the proposed restroom building. Anticipated impacts The project proposed will result in the disturbance of ±25,700 ftz of high ground within the Hatteras Inlet Hazard Area. The excavation activities associated with this project should not have any direct affect on the surrounding waters. Jeffrey R.

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 12,_ 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 as /oa feet landward in a major storm. The floodwaters in a major storm are predicted to be about 7_ 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 dill not be complete. , �17 /f Applicant's Signature Date ✓Inlet Hazard Area 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.

Division of Coastal Management 1424 Carolina Avenue Washington, North Carolina 27889 Dear Mr. Moore: R. SAMUEL HUNT III SECRETARY SUBJECT: CAMA Major Permit application for construction of a restore facility at the Ocracoke Island North Dock Ferry Terminal, TIP No. K-3307 I received a letter on July 12, 1995 from Jeff Schaffer (attached) itemizing information that was needed to complete our CAMA Major Permit application for the above -referenced project. There are only two items out of the eight requested (a cross -sectional drawing of some of the work proposed and a copy of the permit for the onset waste disposal system) that are valid requests and even the need for those items is certainly not just cause for Mr. Schaffer to have returned all application materials, not having started the review process or the 75-day processing period. He could have requested the items concurrently with starting the regulatory timeclock and we could have provided them immediately. This project is to be let for contract this month and this delay will force us to reschedule. It is unfortunate Mr. Schaffer considers DDT's application as incomplete. This has resulted in unnecessary delays in providing needed facilities to the traveling public. Our specific responses to Mr. Schaffer's requests are as follows: Overall • We have been assured by both Mr. Preston Pate and by Mr. John Parker that certified mail receipts, or copies thereof, as required by T15A: 07J .0204(b)(5)(A), not green cards, should be submitted with permitted applications. If green cards are returned to us (and often thgy are not) we will be happy to provide them to you at that time, although we understand that they are not required and none of the other DCM field offices ever request them. Please pass this along to your other staff members, because this is a request that we get regularly from your office. 701 Items La. We apologize for typing our name and address in the wrong block. l.b. Agreed. The information that you need can be found in item l.a. 41 No, it should not. Not only was it not on the location of the proposed facility, it is no longer there. 41 There is no space labeled "N/A" to check. Neither yes nor no was checked because, as Mr. Schaffer points out, the item is indeed not applicable. 5. Mr. John Parker received a copy of our application materials, also, and he has advised us that he has no problem reading the drawings and that they do not appear to be overly congested to him. Please look at it yourself and see what you think. For Mr. Schaffer's benefit, we have slightly darkened the figures given for structure dimensions. The scale on the reduced drawing may not be equivalent to any increment on W. Schaffer.'s scale,- however; it accurately correlates with distance shown on the drawing. _. We are, however, providing an "exploded plan view" for Mr. Schaffer's use. Mr. Parker assures us that the drawings submitted originally are entirely adequate for circulation to the agencies. A cross-section of the building is also enclosed. The boardwalk and platform have been deleted from plans. Attachment DCM MP-3 d. No. As stated above, the old facility was not at this location, but has been removed in accordance with the requirement of the Special Use Permit. j. Copy enclosed. We would appreciate your immediate attention to the processing of this permit.

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 12, 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 as /0a feet landward in a major storm. The flood waters in amajor storm are predicted to be about 7 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. Applicant's Signature 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. Itis unlawful to continue work after permit expiration without this approval.

"VC z ZA" Locality i9/ Phone Revised 11193 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 Ion — 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 s tructures (mul ti-family residential 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, io SETBACK ip SETBACK I FIRST LINE OF N STABLE ALI 30 x )001 AVERAGE AVERAGE ALVEGTTIION !EROSION EROSION RATERATE � ,zu,.i !IA"I. M11ALL I STRUCTURES! I STRUCTURES,! PERMITTED - STRUCTURE; ADEQUATE SETBACK 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 protecting 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, thev estab- lished an exception for lots which cannot meet the setback requirement. The exception allows buildings infrontof the setback line if the following conditions apply. (1) the lot must have been platted as of June 1, 1979, and not capable of 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 CAVIA, 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 _ teet below:vfSL PRE -PERMIT STRUCTURE; INADEQUATE SETBACK PRE -STORM BEACH PROFILE _� POST -STORM BEACH PROFILE ONE YEAR AFTER STORM/BEACH REBUILDING After the storm, the house on the dune will be gone.

The project site is located off Highway 12 adjacent Pamlico Sound on Ocracoke Island in Hyde County, North Carolina. Thank you for the effort you put into writing the cover letter, it provided a good overview of the proposed project. I have reviewed the application for completeness and have found that several items need to be addressed prior to accepting the application as complete. Please correct the following items referenced on the application form. Overall Please provide green cards or copies thereof to show notification of the adjacent property owners. Items 1.a. NCDOT is not the landowner. The project site is located on property owned by the National Park Service. Lb. NCDOT is the Authorized Agent. 4.f. The existing restroom facility and the associated waste disposal system should be included. 4.i. NA 5. The work plat provided with the application (Sheet 2 of 2) is too contested making it extremely difficult to read the dimensions of the proposed building, waste disposal area, boardwalk and deck.

Division of Coastal Management Post Office Box 1507 Washington, North Carolina 27889 Dear Mr. Moore: SUBJECT: Hyde County, Public restroom facility on N.C. 12 at the Ocracoke Island North Dock Ferry Terminal. TIP No. K-3307, State Project No. 8.1080401, Federal -Aid Project No. STP-12(1) The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to construct a public restroom facility on N.C. 12 at the Ocracoke Island North Dock Ferry Terminal. The project will include the construction of a new rest area building and sewer system to serve ferry passengers and visitors to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The existing restroom building is approximately 29 years old and does not contain enough toilet fixtures to meet current needs. The existing sewer field has failed and been closed by the Hyde County Health Department. Portable toilets are currently being used to provide public restroom facilities. After reviewing a faxed copy of our preliminary plans back in January you advised that more information was needed on several items, although the plans that had been faxed were not the final plans. The following information is provided in response. 4.d. Soil type has been changed to sand on the application, per your recommendation. No fill is proposed. 4.g. Done 4J. It was a N.C. Division of Environmental Health staff member that advised my staff originally that the waters of Hatteras Inlet were classified SB; since you take exception to that alleged classification, I am in the process of requesting that determination in writing from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management, although that information will probably not affect our application. I will let you know when we receive that information from them. Na 5.a. Shown on drawing 5.d. The area to be graded has been changed to 0.59 acre. New drawings showing this are provided. Very little, possibly no grading will be required for the building, as it will be elevated on pilings. The preliminary plans that you have already reviewed have been modified slightly. As noted above, the area to be graded or disturbed has been changed to 0.59 acre. The configuration of the building has also changed slightly, although the footprint of the building has not changed significantly. Dimensions are shown on the drawing, as stated above. In addition, a 154' x 4' wooden boardwalk is now proposed to extend from the parking area toward the inlet. A 14' x 14' deck is proposed at the end of the boardwalk. The NCDOT is requesting that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit. Enclosed is a permit application package that includes the permit application form, permit drawings, a copy of a S250 check for the application processing fee, a copy of the NPS Special Use Permit, the signed AEC Hazard Notice, and copies of the certified mail receipts from adjacent riparian property owner notification.

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 on building standards, oceanfront setbacks and dune alteration are designed to minimize, bu t 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 12, 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 as /oo feet landward in a major storm. The floodwaters in a major storm are predicted to be about 7 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 ill not be completer a A plican!'s Sicnarure Date High Hazard Flood Area ✓nlet Hazard Area SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for development in areas subject to sudden and massive storms and erosion. Permits issued for developmentin 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.

Natural forces of water and Nvind 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 alone the oceanfront. The Hiles are in- tended to avoid an unreasonable risk to life and property and to limit public and private losses from storms and lon- 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 'now to build in the coastal area. The Rules When you build alone 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-famiivresfdential 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, SETBACK ' SETBACK FIRST LINE OF \ rb lf �� STABLE 60 x ANNUALI 30 x ANNUAL NATURAL Q�C'AVERAGE ] AVERAGE VEG`cTATION L. i (EROSION EROSION i' RATE _ !RATE C Cl 0 r. I LARGE i'AALL iTRUCTLREi . ETRLCTLHEE I 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 protecting 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 vears you could find the dream has become a nightmare as high tides and storm tides threaten your investment. The E:;caption The Coastal Resources Commission recognized that these rules, ir:itially 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 setbaokpme if the following conditions apply: (1) the lot must have been platted as of June 1, 1979, and not capable of being enlarged by combining with adioinin a 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 piLng depth and square footage must be met and (5) all other CAIvIA, state and local regulations must be met.
