there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions).
A person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable
opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in article 5.
[(d)](4) Change in base flood elevations.
7
Whenever base flood elevations increase or decrease or result in a mappable alteration
of the boundaries of any special flood hazard area, as a result of physical changes
affecting flooding conditions, as soon as practical,but no later than six months after the
date such information becomes available, the floodplain administrator shall notify the

"Section 27-23. Standards for coastal high hazard areas.
Coastal high hazard areas[,more commonly known as tsunami inundation areas,] are
identified as Zone V or Zone VE on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Within coastal high hazard
areas,the following standards shall apply:
[(-a)](1) All new construction,improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial
improvements in a coastal high hazard area shall be constructed with materials
and utility equipment resistant to flood damage and using methods and practices
that minimize flood damage.
[(b)](2) New construction,improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial
improvement shall be elevated on adequately anchored pilings or columns and
securely anchored to such pilings or columns so that the lowest horizontal portion
of the structural members of the lowest floor, excluding the pilings and columns,
is elevated to or above the base flood level. The pile or column foundation and
structure attached thereto shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral
movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all
building components. The wind and water loading values shall each have a one
percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.
[(c)](3) New construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and other
development shall be located on the landward side of the reach of mean high tide.
[(d)](4) New construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial
improvement shall have the enclosed space, if any,below the lowest floor free of
obstructions and constructed with breakaway walls as defined in section 27-12.
Such enclosed space shall not be used for human habitation and will be useable
solely for parking of vehicles,building access,'or storage. Machinery and
equipment which service the building, such as furnaces, air conditioners, heat
pumps,hot water heaters, washers, dryers, elevator lift equipment, electrical
junction and circuit boxes, and food freezers are not permitted in such enclosed
spaces. The enclosed space must only be achieved with breakaway walls, open
wood latticework, or insect screening intended to collapse under wind and water
loads without causing collapse, displacement, or other structural damage to the
elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. A breakaway
wall shall have a design safe loading resistance of not less than ten and no more
than twenty pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a
design safe loading resistance of twenty pounds per square foot may be permitted
only if a licensed professional structural engineer certifies that the design
proposed meets the following conditions:
10
[(1)](A) Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than that
which would occur during the base flood; and
[(2)](B) The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system
shall not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural
damage due to the effects of wind and water loads acting
simultaneously on all building components (structural and
nonstructural). Maximum wind and waterr loading values to be used in
this determination shall each have a one percent chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year(one-hundred-year mean
recurrence interval).
[(e)](5) Fill shall not be used for structural support of buildings.
[(f)](6) Man-made alteration of sand dunes and mangroves which would increase
potential flood damage is prohibited.
[(g)](7) All new construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, development,
and substantial improvement withincoastal high hazard areas shall be certified as
e uedsection27-17.
