A coastal erosion management permit will be issued for regulated activities which comply with § 59-9, General standards, restrictions, and requirements of the applicable sections of this chapter, providing the following is adhered to:
A.
The application for a coastal erosion management permit must be made

B.
Each application for a coastal erosion management permit must be
accompanied by the required fee or fees as established by the Town
legislative body under separate resolution.

(2)
Address or location where the activity or operation is to be conducted.

D.
When more than one coastal erosion management permit is required
for the same property or premises under this chapter, a single permit
may be issued listing all activities permitted and any conditions,
restrictions or bonding requirements. Revocation of a portion or portions
of such consolidated permits will not invalidate the remainder.
E.
A coastal erosion management permit may be issued with such terms
and conditions as are necessary to ensure compliance with the policies
and provisions of Article 34 of the Environmental Conservation Law,
the Coastal Erosion Management Regulations implementing Article 34
(6 NYCRR Part 505), and the laws and policies of the Town.
F.
When an application is made for a coastal erosion management permit,
variance thereto, or other form of approval required by this chapter,
and such activity is subject to other permit, variance, hearing, or
application procedures required by another federal, state or local
regulatory agency pursuant to any federal, state, or local law or
ordinance, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall, at the request of
the applicant, consolidate and coordinate the application, permit,
variance and hearing procedures as required by each regulatory agency
into a single, comprehensive hearing and review procedure. However,
nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to limit or restrict
any regulatory agencies, which are properly a party to such a consolidated
review proceeding, from the independent exercise of such discretionary
authority with respect to the issuance, denial or modification of
such permits, variances or other forms of approval as they may have
been granted by law.
The Town may require a bond or other form of financial security.
Such bond or security must be in an amount, with such surety and conditions
as are satisfactory to the Town so as to ensure compliance with the
terms and conditions stated in the coastal erosion management permit.
The authority for administering and enforcing this chapter is
hereby conferred upon the Administrator. The Administrator has the
powers and duties to:

Apply the regulations, restrictions, and standards or other provisions
of this chapter.

Explain to applicants the map which designates the land and water
areas subject to regulation and advise applicants of the standards,

implied from this chapter as are necessary to achieve its stated purpose.
The provisions, regulations, procedures, and standards of this
chapter will be held to be the minimum requirements necessary to carry
out the purposes of this chapter.
The provisions of this chapter will take precedence over any
other laws, ordinances, or codes in effect in the Town to the extent
that the provisions of this chapter are more stringent than such other
laws, ordinances, or codes. A coastal erosion management permit issued
pursuant to this chapter does not relieve the permit applicant from
the responsibility of obtaining other permits or approvals as may
be necessary nor does it convey any rights or interest in real property.
The provisions of this chapter are severable. If any clause,
sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part is adjudged invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the effect of such order or
judgment does not affect or invalidate any other provisions of this
chapter or their application to other persons and circumstances.
All regulated activities are subject to the review procedures
required by the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR),
Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law. The
applicant may be required to submit information necessary for compliance
with SEQR in addition to information required under this chapter.
A violation of this chapter is hereby declared to be an offense
punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment for a period
not to exceed six months or both. Each day's continued violation
of this chapter will constitute a separate additional violation. Nothing
herein will prevent the proper local authorities of the Town from
taking such other lawful actions or proceedings as may be necessary
to restrain, correct, or abate any violation of this chapter.
