RE: Finished Floor Waiver
Dear Mr. Castillo,
Please accept this letter in response to your request received February 26, 2021 to waive the
required finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the adjacent road. The waiver
request is for a proposed remodel located at 960 Gopher Ridge Rd, Ft. Pierce, FL 34982.
Pursuant to Section 7.04.0l.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 the flood zone X.
2. The elevation of the center line of the adjacent road is 11.71' NAVD.
3. The proposed finished floor elevation is 12.61' NAVD which is 0.90' above the center
line of the adjacent road.
4. The proposed finished floor elevation is consistent with the neighbors' elevations.
5. If the house is required to meet the minimum required elevation it would be
impracticable; the entire structure would need to be demolished and rebuilt.
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.
