RE: Finished Floor Waiver
Dear Mr. Modine:
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received September 30, 2020 to waive
the required finished floor elcvation of 18" above the crown of the adjacent road. The waiver-- -
request is for a new Single -Family Residence located at 2926 S. Header Canal Rd, 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 A, with a minimum required floor elevation of 36"
above natural grade + 12" for freeboard based on Building Code.
2. The elevation of the center line of the adjacent road is 24.03' NAVD.
3. The average natural grade elevation at the construction is site is 20.40' NAVD.
4. The proposed finished floor elevation for the Single- Family Residence is 24.4' NAVD
which is 0.10' above the center line of the adjacent road and 4' above natural grade.
5. The property is a five (5) acre parcel. To add 5'of fill to meet the requirements of the
Code would be impracticable and costly.
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.
