Public Hearing on Program Changes to the RICRMP:

The following changes are proposed:

Section 210.7 Dunes

Revise Section C.2 Policies as follows:

2. All residential construction shall be setback not less than 30 times the annual erosion rate and commercial construction shall be setback not less than 60 times the annual erosion rate. In no case shall the dune setbacks be less than 50 feet. All dune setbacks shall be measured from the landward edge of the foredune zone defined to be 25 feet landward of the dune crest. A special exception shall be required for relief from the 50 foot setback requirements from dunes and beaches on barriers unless the activity proposed is a beach facility or accessway (either lateral or perpendicular) walkover structure in which case a variance from the dune setback provisions shall be required. A variance shall be required for relief from the setback requirements from dunes and beaches on barriers for the area that lies between the 50 foot minimum setback and any greater setback based on the average annual erosion rate. No new Individual Sewage Disposal Systems shall be constructed within the 50 foot setback area from the dune or beaches or seaward of construction lines (see Section 300.6.A.2 for definition of new ISDS). Accessways Walkover structures may be permitted through over the dunes in order to gain access to the beach.

Add New Section D.3 Prohibitions:

3. No new Individual Sewage Disposal Systems shall be constructed within the setback area from the dune or beaches (see Section 300.6.A.2 for definition of new ISDS).
