ULDC Sec. 8.16(B) requires shoreline properties being developed, redeveloped or substantially improved to meet the Village Seawall Design Criteria memo, adopted into the code as Appendix A. That memo sets a minimum seawall elevation of 5.94 ft NAVD88. Walls must also be designed so the cap can be raised 2.5 ft later, to 8.44 ft NAVD88.
