The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Disability retirement—General conditions for eligibility. (a) A member having five (5) or more continuous years of credited service and having contributed to the retirement system for five (5) years or more may retire from the service of the city under the plan if, prior to his normal retirement date, he becomes totally and permanently disabled as defined in subsection (b) by reason of any cause other than a cause set out in subsection (c) on or after the effective date of the plan. Such retirement shall herein be referred to as "disability retirement." The provisions for disability other than line -of -duty disability shall not apply to a member who has reached early or normal retirement age. The five (5) years of credited service shall not apply to police officers and firefighters disabled (as defined herein) in the line of duty. The minimum benefit for any police officer or firefighter disabled in the line of duty shall be forty-two (42) percent of the final average salary, regardless of years of credited service. (b) A member will be considered totally disabled if, in the opinion of the board of trustees, he is wholly prevented from rendering useful and efficient service as a city employee, and a member of the retirement system will be considered permanently disabled if, in the opinion of the board of trustees, he is likely to remain so disabled continuously and permanently from a cause other than as specified in subsection (c). (c) A member will not be entitled to receive any disability retirement income if disability is as a result of: (1) (2) Excessive and habitual use by the employee of drugs, intoxicants, or narcotics; Injury or disease sustained by the employee while willfully and illegally participating in fights, riots, or civil insurrections or while committing a crime; (3) Injury or disease sustained by the employee while serving in any armed forces; or (4) Injury or disease sustained by the employee after his/her employment has termi- nated. (d) No member shall be permitted to retire under the provisions of this section until he/she is examined by a duly qualified physician or surgeon, to be selected by the board of trustees for that purpose, and is found to be disabled in the degree and in the manner specified in this section. Any member retiring under this section shall be examined periodically by a duly qualified physician or surgeon or board of physicians and surgeons to be selected by the board of trustees for that purpose, to determine if such disability has ceased to exist. (e) The benefits payable to a member who retires from the service of the city with a total and permanent disability as a direct result of a disability commencing prior to his normal retirement date is the monthly income computed according to the applicable subsections of section 2-281. (f) The monthly retirement income as computed in section 2-281 to which a member is entitled in the event of his disability retirement shall be payable on the first day of the first month after the board of trustees determine such entitlement. If the member recovers from the disability prior to his normal retirement date, the last payment will be the payment due next Supp. No. 16 181 § 2-279 ATLANTIC BEACH CODE preceding the date of such recovery. If the member dies without recovering from his disability or attains his normal retirement date while still disabled, the payment due next preceding his death. (g) If the board of trustees finds that a member who is receiving a disability retirement income is, at any time prior to his normal retirement date, no longer disabled, as provided herein, the board of trustees shall direct that the disability retirement income be discontinued. Recovery from disability as used herein means the ability of the member to render useful and efficient service as an employee of the city. (h) If the member recovers from disability and reenters the service of the city as an employee, his service will be deemed to have been continuous, but the period beginning with the first month for which he received disability retirement income payment and ending with the date he reentered the city service will not be considered as credited service for the purpose of the system.

Same—Continuation subject to re-examination; return to employment. (a) The board of trustees may require a disability retirant to undergo periodic medical examination by or under the direction of the medical director if the disability retirant has not attained the following applicable age: (1) Benefit group fire: Age sixty (60) years; (2) Benefit group police: Age sixty (60) years; (3) Benefit group general: Age sixty (60) years. (b) If a disability retirant refuses to submit to a medical examination payment of the disability pension may be suspended by the board of trustees until withdrawal of the refusal. Should refusal continue for one (1) year all the disability retirant's rights in and to a disability pension may be revoked by the board of trustees. A disability retirant shall be restored to active employment with the city and the disability pension discontinued if following a medical examination the medical director certifies that the disability retirant is mentally and physically able and capable of resuming employment with the city, and the board of trustees concurs in the certification of the medical director. The city shall be allowed reasonable latitude in placing the returned disability retirant in a position commensurate with the position held at time of disability retirement. (c) A disability retirant who has been restored to employment with the city as provided in subsection (a) shall again become a member of the retirement system. The disability retirant's credited service at time of retirement shall be restored to full force. Service shall be credited for the period the disability retirant was being paid a disability pension.

The provisions contained herein shall constitute the Coastal Construction Code for construction within the coastal building zone in Atlantic Beach, Florida, and shall be referred to as the "coastal code." (Ord. No. 25-86-17, § 1, 2-24-86) Sec. 6-19. Same—Purpose; generally. The purpose of the coastal code is to provide minimum standards for the design and construction of buildings and structures to reduce the harmful effects of hurricanes and other natural disasters occurring along the coastal areas of Atlantic Beach which front on the Atlantic Ocean. These standards are intended to specifically address design features which affect the structural stability of the beach, dunes and topography of adjacent properties. The coastal code is site specific to the coastal building zone as defined herein, and is not applicable to other locations. In the event of a conflict between these sections and other chapters of this Code, the requirements resulting in more restrictive design shall apply. No provisions in these sections shall be construed to permit any construction in any area prohibited by any other Atlantic Beach regulation. (Ord. No. 25-86-17, § 1, 2-24-86) Sec. 6-20. Same—Scope; applicability. The requirements of this coastal code shall apply to the following types of construction in the coastal building zone in Atlantic Beach: (a) The new construction of, or improvement to major structures, nonhabitable major structures, and minor structures as defined herein. Supp. No. 16 407 § 6-20 ATLANTIC BEACH CODE (b) Construction which would change or alter the character of the shoreline (e.g. excavation, grading, paving). The coastal code does not apply to minor work in the nature of normal beach cleaning or debris removal. (1) Existing structures. The requirements of this section shall not apply to existing structured structures under construction, or structures for which a valid and unexpired municipal or county building permit was issued prior to the adoption of the coastal code. (2) Multi -zone structures. For structures located partially in the coastal building zone, the requirements of the coastal code shall apply to the entire structure. (3) Construction seaward of mean high water. Structures or construction extending seaward of the mean high water line which are regulated by Section 161.041, Florida Statutes (e.g. groins, jetties, moles, breakwaters, seawalls, revetments, beach nour- ishment, inlet dredging, etc.), are specifically exempt from the provisions of these sections. In addition, the coastal code does not apply to piers, pipelines, or outfalls which are regulated pursuant to the provisions of Section 161.053, Florida Statutes. (4) Applications for permits. Applications for building permits for all construction in the coastal building zone may be required by the building official to be certified by an architect or professional engineer registered in the State of Florida. Such certification shall state that the design plans and specifications for the construction are in compliance with the criteria established by this coastal code. (Ord. No. 25-86-17, § 1, 2-24-86; Ord. No. 25-86-19, § 1, 12-8-86) Sec. 6-21. Same—Definitions. The following terra aro defined for general fisc in tie coastal code: The (a) Beach means the zone of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the mean low water line to the place where there is marked change in material or physiographic form, or to the line of permanent vegetation, usually the effective limit of storm waves. "Beach" is alternatively termed "shore." (b) Breakaway wall or frangible wall means a partition independent of supporting structural members that will withstand design wind forces, but will fail under hydrodynamic wave, and runup forces associated with the design storm surge. Under such conditions, the wall shall fail in a manner such that it breaks up into components that will minimize the potential for damage to life or adjacent property. It shall be a characteristic of a breakaway or frangible wall that it shall have a horizontal design loading resistance of no less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) pounds per square foot. (c) Building support structure means any structure which supports floor, wall or column loads, and transmits then to the foundation. The term shall include beams, grade beams, or joists, and includes the lowest horizontal structural member exclusive of piles, columns or footings. Supp. No. 16 408 BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS § 6-21 (d) Coastal barrier islands means geological surface features which are completely surrounded by marine waters that front upon the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay, or Strait of Florida, and are composed of quartz sands, clays, limestone, oolites, rock, coral, coquina, sediment, or other material, including soil disposal, which features lie above the line of mean high water. Mainland areas which were separated from the mainland by artificial channelization for the purpose of assisting marine commerce shall not be considered coastal barrier islands. Supp. No. 16 409 BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS § 6-23 (h) Design conditions in general. (1) Foundations for all major structures shall be designed for the horizontal and vertical pressures generated by wave forces between the elevation of the design breaking wave crests or wave uprush superimposed upon the storm surge and the stable soil elevation of the site. (2) All major structures, except mobile homes, shall be designed to withstand one hundred forty (140) mph windspeeds. Horizontal wind velocity pressures shall not be less than the values given below: Basic Wind Velocity Design Pressure (Pounds per Square Foot) Standard Building Code Height . Pressure (ft.) (psf) 0-30 41 31-50 54 51-100 65 101-200 79 201-300 92 301-400 101 401-500 109 501-800 121 801-1000 133 Over 1000 137 Note: The above table is based upon the formula: P = .00256 x V2 x (H/30)2/7, where: P = pressure in pounds/square foot V = 140 mph H = height above grade in feet (3) Appropriate shape factors shall be applied for resistance against overturning and uplift as required elsewhere in this Code. Internal pressures on internal walls, ceilings and floors resulting from damaged windows or doors shall also be considered in the design unless the specified windows and doors have been tested by an approved testing agency and have been shown to be capable of withstanding the design pressures required herein. (4) Mobile homes shall conform to the Federal Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards of the Uniform Standards Code ANSI book A-119.1, pursuant to Section 320.823, Florida Statutes, in addition to the other requirements contained in this chapter. (5) All storm shutters shall be designed to conform with Part VI, Chapter 23, of the South Florida Building Code, 1994 Edition. Copies of such Chapter 23 shall be kept in the office of the building official and the office of the city clerk. (Ord. No. 25-86-17, § 1, 2-24-86; Ord.

Nonhabitable major structures need not meet the specific structural requirements of section 6-23, except that they shall be designed to produce the minimum adverse impact on the beach and dune system and shall comply with the applicable standards of construction found elsewhere in this code. All sewage treatment and public water supply systems shall be flood -proofed to prevent infiltration of surface water anticipated under design storm condi- tions. Underground utilities, excluding pad transformers and vaults, shall be floodproofed to prevent infiltration of surface water expected under design storm conditions or shall otherwise be designed to function when submerged under such storm conditions. (Ord. No. 25-86-17, § 1, 2-24-86) Sec. 6-25. Same—Minor structures. Minor structures need not meet the specific structural requirements of section 6-23 except they shall be designed to produce the minimum adverse impact on the beach and dune system and shall comply with the applicable standards of construction found elsewhere in this Code.

Purpose and intent. The public health, safety, comfort and welfare require the harmonious, orderly and progressive development of land. The subdivision of land is a vital step in the urbanization process and the progress of the community's development. Once land has been shaped into lots, blocks and streets, correction of defects is costly and difficult. Substantial public responsibility is created by each new subdivision, involving the maintenance of streets, drainage, utilities and other health facilities and the provision of additional public services. As the general welfare, health, safety and convenience of the community are thereby directly affected by the use of land as a subdivision, it is in the interest of the public that subdivisions be designed and developed in accordance with sound rules and proper minimum standards. The purpose and intent of this article is as follows: (1) To establish reasonable and equitable standards of subdivision design and procedures for the subdivision of land that will encourage stable communities and the creation of iiieai Jiy living enviromneui,s which preserve dile flaw eauiy anti Lupugtapuy alit' ensure appropriate development with regard to these natural features; (2) To ensure that public facilities and utilities are available and will have a sufficient capability and capacity to service land developments and their occupants; (3) To present traffic hazards and to require the provision of safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian traffic circulation in land developments, having particular regard to the avoidance of congestion in the streets and highways, and the pedestrian traffic movements appropriate to the various uses of land and buildings, and to provide for the proper location widths and design of streets; (4) To coordinate the furnishing and establishment of streets, drainage and utilities in an orderly planned manner to ensure protection of the environment and promotion of the general welfare; (5) To increase safety from fire, flood and other danger; (6) To provide for adequate light, air privacy, and to prevent overcrowding of the land and undue congestion of the population; *State law reference—Platting, F.S. § 177.011 et seq.
