A. A floodplain use permit shall not be required for any structure that is less than two hundred square feet, or for the repair or alteration of an existing structure for which the value of the materials and labor thereon does not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars provided that the improvements:
1. Do not obstruct, divert, or retard the flow of flood water;
2. Do not disturb or remove riparian habitat as regulated under this title; and
3. Comply with all other provisions of this title including requirements for flood venting and for anchoring to prevent lateral movement.
B. Exempt structures that are found to be constructed in violation of this title may require a permit in order to bring the structure into compliance.
C. For the purpose of determining the value of any such repairs or alterations, the normal retail value of materials and the reasonable value of the labor performed shall be used. Repairs or alterations shall not be done in a piecemeal fashion for the purpose of avoiding applying for a permit when the total cost of said work is in excess of seven thousand five hundred dollars.
