This article shall be known as the "Dune Preservation
Ordinance."
Development is prohibited on dunes, except for development that has no prudent or feasible alternative in any area other than a dune, and that will not cause significant adverse long-term impacts on the natural functioning of the beach and dune system, either individually or in combination with other existing or proposed structures, land disturbances or activities. This article is to be read in concert with Chapter
130, Land Use, §
130-37E, as amended November 1984, and use regulations in B-3 Zones, §
130-38C(6).
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
Limited designated accessways for pedestrians
and authorized motor vehicles between public streets and the beach
that provide for the minimal feasible threat to breaching or overtopping
as a result of storm surge or wave run-up shall be utilized.
Limited stairs, walkways, pathways and boardwalks
to permit access across dune to beach shall be provided, because minimal
feasible interference with beach and dune system must be utilized.
The planting of native vegetation to stabilize
dunes is highly encouraged. Sand fencing and either a brush-type barricade
or a picket-type to accumulate sand and aid in dune formation is highly
encouraged.
[Amended 12-15-1998 by Ord. No. 94-98]
Penalties for violations of this article shall be as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
I, unless otherwise specified in this article.
