RE: Finished Floor Waiver
Dear Mr. Waller:
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received August 4, 2020 to waive the
required finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the adjacent road. The waiver request
is to renovate and add a small addition to a single family residence located at 6906 Coquina Ave
in Fort Pierce.
Pursuant to Section 7.04.01(C-3) of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the Planning
and Development Services Director has the authority to grant administrative relief, when
topographical conditions are such that compliance with this subsection would be impracticable
or cause grade level conditions detrimental to adjacent or nearby property, consistent with the
intent of the Flood Protection regulations and any other applicable portion of this Code.
The Planning and Development Services Director has granted your request for administrative
relief of the finished floor elevation based on the following determinations:
1. The property is located in flood zone x.
2. The elevation of the center line of the adjacent road is 22.17 NAVD
3. The finished floor elevation of the existing building is 23.53' which is 1.36' above the center
line of the adjacent road.
4. The construction is proposed to an existing building. To change the finished floor elevation
to meet the requirements of the Code would be impracticable.
This approval does not in any way constitute authorization to begin construction. Prior to the
commencement of any construction on this property, an application for specific building permit
must be obtained from this department.
Please feel free to contact me at (772) 462-2822 if you have any questions.
Planning and Development Services Director
