[1976 Code § 6-22; Ord. No. 889 § 1]
This section shall be known as the "Sea Isle City Beach Protection
Ordinance."
[1976 Code § 6-23; Ord. No. 889 § 2]
a.
It has been clearly demonstrated that well established and protected
sand dunes, together with berms, beaches and underwater slopes of
suitable configuration and of proper grade and height are a durable
and effective protection against damage by the ocean under storm conditions
and are the natural protection of the coastal areas adjacent thereto,
and the State and its subdivisions and their inhabitants have an interest
in the combined protection thereof and the right to restore them in
the event of damage or destruction.
b.
The dunes are vulnerable to erosion by both wind and water, but primarily
by wind since its attacks against the dunes are sustained for substantial
and frequently recurring periods of time; whereas, if protected by
typical berms, beaches and underwater slopes, the dunes are attacked
by water only at infrequent intervals. The best available means of
protecting the dunes against wind erosion is by preventing indiscriminate
trespassing, construction or other acts which might destroy or damage
the dunes, and through the use of native plantings, supplemented by
sand fencing and other devices designed to prevent the free blowing
of the sand and the maintenance of the surface tensions, root accumulations,
normal contours and other features found in typical natural dunes.
c.
The immediate dune and beach area is not capable of rigid definition
or delineation or of completely firm stabilization so that particular
sites, at one time free of dunes, may, as the result of natural forces,
become part of the dune area necessary for the continuation of the
protection above outlined and persons purchasing or owning such property
do so subject to the public interest therein.
d.
It is a purpose of this section to define the areas so affected and
to establish regulations to assure their continued effectiveness.
This section is declared to be an exercise of the police power in
the interest of safety and welfare and the protection of persons and
property.
e.
Past storms have graphically illustrated to public and officials
alike that destruction of sand and other barriers protecting the adjacent
coastal areas creates an imminent and continuing threat and danger
to life and property. Such erosion and destruction make it necessary
to the health, safety and welfare of the City to maintain, repair,
restore, replace and construct protective barriers on both public
and private property within the City.
f.
The interference with or the depletion of the beach and sand dunes
tends to permit encroachment by the sea and the conditions above recited
make it imperative that the Governing Body, with the City Engineer,
in consultation with the Environmental Commission, regulate and control
the removal of sand from the beach or dunes or any other interference
with or depletion of the protective barrier on the oceanfront of the
City.
[1976 Code § 6-25; Ord. No. 889 § 3; Ord. No. 1431 § XC]
The City will in the future adopt the "Sea Isle City Beach Dune
Area Map Showing the Dune Line" to be prepared by Andrew A. Previti,
P.E., which map, upon completion and adoption, will replace the dune
line determination required under this section. Upon adoption by the
Governing Body the "Sea Isle City Beach Dune Area Map Showing the
Dune Line" shall be incorporated by reference into this section. True
copies of the map shall be filed with the City Clerk, the Planning
Board, the Environmental Commission, the Clerk of the County of Cape
May and the Planning Board of the County of Cape May.
[1976 Code § 6-24; Ord. No. 889 § 4]

plants are introduced into their locations.
Shall mean areas constructed at various designations across
the dune or berm(s) to connect the street ends or other property with
the open beach mainly for the use of such vehicular traffic as the
Department of Public Safety of this City may, from time to time, direct
and for such use as may have been designated by law or a court of
competent jurisdiction.
Shall mean and include the term "snow fence" and may mean
either of three types of barricade established in a line or a pattern
to accumulate sand and aid in the formation of a dune.
Brush type. This consists of dead bushes, trees, reeds or similar
debris collected in bundles and fixed by stakes or similar means.
Picket type. This shall be the commercial variety of light wooden
fence held together by wire and secured by posts.
Plastic type. This shall be the commercial variety of slotted

permitted. The provisions of this subsection shall apply only where
an applicant has followed all procedures under this section prior
to applying to the Administrator.
e.
No individual, firm or corporation shall authorize or participate
in any manner in the moving or displacement of sand within the beach-dune
