Required beach access easement. There shall be required for all properties, except as provided hereinbelow, a nonexclusive publicly accessible beach access easement linking Collins Avenue to the oceanfront beach. Such easement shall be a minimum width of not less than 20 feet and located within a required side setback area and on the side of the property closest to a signalized public crosswalk on Collins Avenue and, where applicable, on the side adjacent to an existing each access easement provided by an abutting property, and such easement shall be over, across, under and through said property. Abutting beach access easements shall be designed and improved to function as an integrated design with a single pedestrian walkway of an expanded width to fully utilize the greater effective easement width afforded by the abutting easements. However, the City Commission may waive the beach access easement requirement where it is determined by the Development Services Director in a written finding that, in the interest of protecting the public safety and welfare, provision of a beach accesswa at a midblock location' constitutes a potential safety hazard as an inducement to illegal pedestrian crossing of Collins Avenue, or it may be waived if the proposed beach access is adjacent to a public park.
