Response to plan review comments dated 6/1/2020:
In regards to comment #1 about flood resistant materials to be 1’-0” above Design Flood Elevation
(DFE), I don’t believe this is correct. The Design Flood Elevation (DFE) already adds 1’ to the Base
Flood Elevation (BFE) or its based on a calculation. What code section requires flood resistant materials
to extend 1’-0” above the DFE? I can’t find anything that says this but I know the Fema Technical
Bulletin #2, Page 18 shows the flood resistant materials only 6” above the maximum expected flood level
– (see attached). I believe we showed the flood resistant materials correctly in that they extend above the
Design Flood elevation (DFE).
Sincerely,
Randall E. Stofft, A.I.A.
