HOUSE BILL NO. 1517 

Offered January 11, 2017 

Prefiled December 22, 2016 

A BILL to amend and reenact � 28.2-1408.2 of the Code of 
 Virginia, relating to general permit for sand management in the Sandbridge 
 Beach Subdivision. 
---------- 

Patrons-- Knight and Lindsey; Senator: Wagner 

---------- 

Referred to Committee on Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources 

---------- 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 28.2-1408.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
 reenacted as follows:

� 28.2-1408.2. Exemptions.

A. Notwithstanding 
 the requirements of � 28.2-1408 or any other provision of this Code, the Virginia 
 Beach Wetlands Board (Board) shall make an ongoing determination in the 
 Sandbridge Beach Subdivision to determine which structures or properties are in 
 clear and imminent danger from erosion and storm damage due to severe wave 
 action or storm surge. The owners of such structures or properties shall not be 
 prohibited from erecting and maintaining protective bulkheads or other 
 equivalent structural improvements of the type, size, 
 and configuration as approved by the Board. As used in this section, the "Sandbridge Beach 
 Subdivision" means the area that is bounded on the north by Dam Neck Naval 
 Base, on the west by Sandpiper Road, and on the south by Little Island Park.

The Board shall not impose arbitrary or unreasonable 
 conditions upon its approval of any such bulkhead or other structural 
 improvement. The Board shall maintain a continuing responsibility to ensure 
 that each bulkhead or structural improvement constructed under the authority of 
 this section is maintained in a condition that is safe, structurally sound, and 
 otherwise in conformity with the conditions imposed by the Board.

Upon submission of an application to the Board pursuant to 
 this section, as a requirement for approval, the applicant must consent in 
 writing to any subsequent construction approved by the Board whereby an 
 adjacent property owner desires to tie in a bulkhead at no additional cost with 
 the bulkhead proposed by the applicant. Such consent shall constitute a waiver 
 of property line defenses relating to the bulkhead line.

B. The Board may develop and 
 adopt, after holding a public hearing, a General Permit for Sand Management and 
 Placement Profiles for properties in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision. 
 The Board shall publish notice of the hearing at least 
 once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to such hearing in a newspaper 
 having general circulation in the City of Virginia Beach. Any Sand Management 
 General Permit and Placement Profiles adopted by the Board shall set forth sand 
 management practices that require owners of 
 real property in the Sandbridge
