Excerpt from zoning regs in Charleston -

SECTION 42B-9. Environmental Protection and Safety Standards for 
Proposed Projects. Any Proposed Project involving new construction in 
the Charlestown Waterfront within the Harborpark District shall conform 
to the environmental protection and safety standards established in this 
Section, to the extent economically practicable, as determined in Large 
Project Review.
......
3. Provision of Safety Ladders. Any such Proposed Project, if adjacent 
to the water, shall provide a safety ladder or ladders extending from 
the water to an accessible area above the High Tide Line such that there 
shall be one safety ladder located approximately every one hundred (100) 
feet along those portions of the waterfront occupied byseawalls, piers, 
wharves, or other structures otherwise inaccessible to a person in the 
water. The foregoing notwithstanding, a safety ladder shall not be 
required in a location that would unreasonably interfere with docking 
facilities or other Water-Dependent Use, provided that safety ladders 
are placed at intervals most closely approximating one hundred (100) 
feet and not so interfering.
