RE: Finished floor waiver
Dear Mr. Wethington:
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received May 30.2019 to waive the
finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for a proposed
addition to a family residence located at 2414 N 53rd St. Ft 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 proposed single family residence is located in zone X.
2. Raising the pad 18" above the centerline of the road would be a financial hardship.
3. The elevation of the center line of adjacent road is 19.39' NAVD
4. The proposed top of the slab will be 20.00' NAVD which is .6l' above the center line of
The road.
5. Given that the proposed construction is an addition to an existing residence, it would be
Impractical to have this addition to the home have a finished floor elevation that is
18" above that of the existing home.
6. No flooding has occurred since the original construction of the house in 1953.
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.
Sincerely,
Leslie Olson, Al P
Planning and Development Services Director
