submitted for approval with the application for the certificate of occupancy. The <br /> information certified within the"Elevation Certificate" shall be based on actual <br /> construction. <br /> (2) Compliance with other requirements of this chapter." <br /> SECTION 10. Chapter 27, article 4, section 27-23, of the Hawai`i County Code <br /> 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), is amended to read as follows: <br /> "Section 27-23. Standards for coastal high hazard areas. <br /> Coastal high hazard areas[, - . .-:.- . . . . .. • . - : . . ,] are <br /> identified as Zone V or Zone VE on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Within coastal high hazard <br /> areas, the following standards shall apply: <br /> [(0](1) All new construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial <br /> improvements in a coastal high hazard area shall be constructed with materials <br /> and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and using methods and practices <br /> that minimize flood damage. <br /> [(b ](2) New construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial <br /> improvement shall be elevated on adequately anchored pilings or columns and <br /> securely anchored to such pilings or columns so that the lowest horizontal portion <br /> of the structural members of the lowest floor, excluding the pilings and columns, <br /> is elevated to or above the base flood level. The pile or column foundation and <br /> structure attached thereto shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral <br /> movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all <br /> building components. The wind and water loading values shall each have a one <br /> percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. <br /> [(-e)](3) New construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and other <br /> development shall be located on the landward side of the reach of mean high tide. <br /> [(d)](4) New construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial <br /> improvement shall have the enclosed space, if any, below the lowest floor free of <br /> obstructions and constructed with breakaway walls as defined in section 27-12. <br /> Such enclosed space shall not be used for human habitation and will be useable <br /> solely for parking of vehicles,building access, or storage. Machinery and <br /> equipment which service the building, such as furnaces, air conditioners, heat <br /> pumps,hot water heaters, washers, dryers, elevator lift equipment, electrical <br /> junction and circuit boxes, and food freezers are not permitted in such enclosed <br /> spaces. The enclosed space must only be achieved with breakaway walls, open <br /> wood latticework, or insect screening intended to collapse under wind and water <br /> loads without causing collapse, displacement, or other structural damage to the <br /> elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. A breakaway <br /> wall shall have a design safe loading resistance of not less than ten and no more <br /> than twenty pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a <br /> design safe loading resistance of twenty pounds per square foot may be permitted <br /> only if a licensed professional structural engineer certifies that the design <br /> proposed meets the following conditions: <br /> 10 <br />
