In 1987, when this occurred, Council decided that if shoreline collapsed the s a T and City En^eer were authorized to do whatever was necessary to restore storeline. Gaflion stated that if people are conducting emergency restoration to return shoreline to exactly what it was before, then they should not have to go through an application process. But if the only way to resolve an issue is by a retaining wall, for instance, then the property owner should go through the process for a variance and CUP after-the-fact.
