The said engineer shall certify that the location, alignment and design of the structure shall minimize adverse impacts to the shoreline system and adjacent properties; and that the location and alignment of the structure shall be as far landward as possible to provide maximum opportunity for natural dissipation of energy arising from wave uprush.

Removal of Structures. Any shoreline protective structure approved by the Board for a variance and subsequently constructed shall be displaced and removed if either the subject structure or the primary protected upland structure is destroyed or damaged to an extent greater than fifty percent (50%) and variance for reconstruction of the same is not subsequently granted water-ward of the setback line by both the Board and the State of Florida Department of Environ-mental Protection.
