is authorized only if Chapter 355 is amended in that section |
relating to new construction in frontal dunes and designated as |
section 6, paragraph B, subparagraph (1) (3) to provide that |
elevators, in addition to ramps, that are required for compliance |
with the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities |
Act are exempt from the requirement that a new structure or |
addition to an existing structure may not be constructed on or |
seaward of a frontal dune. The rule must also be amended to |
provide that elevators or ramps serving buildings required to |
comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act must be |
designed and constructed so as to minimize intrusion on the |
frontal dune, including locating the structures to the rear of |
buildings or within areas of a lot already developed, such as a |
parking area. The Department of Environmental Protection is not |
required to hold hearings or conduct other formal proceedings |
prior to finally adopting this rule in accordance with this |
resolve; and be it further |
