BDCOG-26-0078 — Single-family residence with fibercrete driveway, fibercrete paving beneath structure, permeable paver sidewalk, septic system, grading activities, and drainage swales in Galveston, TX
The General Land Office reviewed a beachfront construction certificate and dune protection permit application for a single-family residence with associated site improvements in Galveston's Enhanced Construction Zone, where the area experiences significant erosion (5-6 feet per year). The applicant must comply with multiple conditions including dune enhancement/restoration requirements or pay a fee-in-lieu, fibrous reinforced concrete maintenance specifications, storm water management standards, and a $200 fibrous reinforced concrete maintenance fee. This case is relevant to coastal developers as it demonstrates strict state and local requirements for beachfront construction in erosion-prone areas.
