(6)

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 said Article 34 (6 NYCRR 505) and the laws and policies of the Town.

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.
[Amended 1-21-1992 by L.L. No. 1-1992]
G. 
In the event that the Board determines that an engineer's report is necessary to assist it in its determination, then the Board shall secure an engineer to evaluate the impact of the application upon the rate of coastal erosion. The fee necessarily attending to such engineer's services shall be borne by the applicant and shall not exceed $2,500.
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 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 right 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.
[Amended 10-11-2005 by L.L. No. 16-2005]
An offense of a provision of this chapter is a violation punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed 15 days, or both. Each day on which such violation occurs will constitute a separate additional violation. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent local authorities of the Town from taking such other lawful actions as may be necessary to restrain, correct or abate any violation of this chapter.
