<br /> "Recreational vehicle" means a vehicle which is: (a) built on a single chassis; (b) 400 square feet
<br /> or less when measured at the largest horizontal projection; (c) designed to be self-propelled or
<br /> permanently towable by a light duty truck; and, (d) designed primarily not for use as a
<br /> permanent dwelling, but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or
<br /> seasonal use.
<br /> "Reference feature" is the receding edge of a bluff or eroding frontal dune or, if such a feature
<br /> is not present, the normal high water line or the seaward line of permanent vegetation if high-
<br /> water line cannot be identified.
<br /> "Remedy a violation" means to bring the structure or other development into compliance with
<br /> State or local floodplain management regulations, or, if this is not possible, to reduce the
<br /> impacts of its noncompliance. Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the
<br /> structure or other affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement
<br /> provisions of the ordinance or otherwise deterring future similar violations, or reducing Federal
<br /> financial exposure with regard to the structure or other development.
<br /> "Start of construction" (for other than new construction or substantial improvements under the
<br /> Coastal Barrier Resources Act (P.L. 97-348), includes substantial improvement, and means the
<br /> date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair,
<br /> reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or improvement was within 180 days of the permit date.
<br /> The actual start means the first placement of permanent construction of a structure (including
<br /> a manufactured home) on a site, such as the pouring of slabs or footings, installation of piles,
<br /> construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation or the placement of a
<br /> manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation,
<br /> such as clearing, grading, and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or
<br /> walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers or foundations, or the
<br /> erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory
<br /> buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or,,not part of the main
<br /> structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the first
<br /> alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building, whether or not that
<br /> alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
<br /> "Structure" means, for floodplain management purposes, a walled and roofed building, a
<br /> manufactured home, including a gas or liquid storage tank, or other man-made facilities or
<br /> infrastructures that are principally above ground.
<br /> "Substantial damage" means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of
<br /> restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the
<br /> market value of the structure before the damage occurred. See definition of "substantial
<br /> improvement".
<br /> "Substantial improvement" means any repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other
<br /> improvement of a structure, the.cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value
<br /> of the structure before the "start of construction" of the improvement: This term includes
<br /> structures which have incurred "substantial damage", regardless of the actual repair work
<br /> performed. The term does not, however, include either: (1) any project-of improvement of a
