reasonable period after decay or partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects to
shoreline resource or environment. Replacement of a structure or development may be authorized as repair where

structure or development is comparable to the original structure or development including but not limited to its
size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance and the replacement does not cause substantial
adverse effects to shoreline resources or environment.
