certification shall state that the design plans and specifications <br />for the construction are in compliance with the criteria <br />established by this Coastal Code. <br />Section 402.09 Definitions <br />The following owing terms are defined for general use in the coastal <br />code: <br />(a) Beach means the zone of unconsolidated material thaw <br />extends landward from the mean low water line to the <br />place where there is marked change in material or <br />physiographic form, or to the line of permanent <br />vegetation, usually the effective limit of storm waves. <br />"Beach" is alternatively termed "shore;" <br />(b) Breakaway building wall or frangible building wall means <br />a partition independent of supporting structural members <br />that will withstand design wind forces, but will fail <br />under hydrostatic, wave, and runup forces associated with <br />the design storm surge. Under such conditions, the wall <br />shall fail in a manner such that it breaks up into <br />components that w.i.1-1-mini-mize the—potent al for damage to <br />life or adjacent property. <br />c) Euing sup orp s ucture m s structure which supports <br />floor, wall or column loads, and transmits them to the <br />foundation.

When appropriate <br />to the context, "construction" refers to the act of <br />construction or the result of construction. <br />(g) Design storm means the 100 -year storm event including a <br />storm surge equivalent to the base flood elevation as <br />determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. <br />(h) Dune means a mound or ridge of loose sediment, usually <br />3 <br />SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - 12:05:36 - OfficialDocuments:611, Attachment Id 0, Page 5 <br />
