Hampton committee lists qualifying and non‑qualifying work for CRIZ abatements
Summary
Committee members reviewed specific examples of qualifying measures for the Coastal Resilience Incentive Zone — from full structural elevation to marsh migration easements — and listed several non‑qualifying activities such as token plantings and routine pipe replacement.
The advisory committee reviewed a table of example projects to illustrate what would and would not qualify for a CRIZ abatement. The transcript notes qualifying examples including "Full structural elevation to BFE + 3 ft freeboard," living shoreline or dune restoration with vegetation, marsh migration easements and regrading with native planting, regrading for emergency access to an elevated structure, enlarged culverts and storm surge backflow prevention, and full structure relocation either on site or to higher parcels in Hampton.
The committee identified several activities that should not qualify for abatements, including minor foundation patching, elevating a small addition alone, standalone mechanical elevation, routine same‑size pipe replacement, general landscaping marketed as resilience, token planting with no hydrology or grading, and repaving at existing grade. These lists will inform the covenant and application templates staff were asked to prepare.
