The "platted mean high water line" as shown on the attachments should be the line utilized for setbacks as the rear property line. The'shoreline protection zone is based on the MHWL per the code language and will not change regardless of changes overtime to the MHWL as it has been platted as such. Although the MHWL can change over time it's identification on the approved plans as the rear property line memorialized it as such in my mind. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Out of an abundance of caution, we wanted to ensure collective agreement that a "platted" mean high water line would be reasonably recognized as the rear property line for setback purposes, assuming the development did not adversely impact the associated preservation/conservation areas, drainage easements, etc. The potential concern was related to platting a "MHWL", with a non-bulkheaded property, when these can change over time. It makes sense folks would wish to plat the MHWL, especially with a natural shoreline, to ensure their rear setbacks do not change over time, causing a non -conformity. Thank you for any thoughts.

As discussed, we'll seek the denoted dimension between the Minimum Regulatory Flood Elevation and the Height of the Main Roof Surface (which is marginally below the proposed parapet). It appears this dimension will be marginally less than 35', though we'll seek confirmation from their architect. I'm preparing an email relating to the Plat, lot lines, MHW, etc., and hope to send later today. I appreciate your coordination. Best, Ko ri Please Note: Florida has very broad public records laws.

Good afternoon Lydia, Thank you for presenting this inquiry, with context and initial research. My initial thoughts suggest the parapet and (therefore screened) mechanical equipment may cause a minor, and reasonable, projection above the maximum height if: 1) The vertical distance between the minimum finished grade and the highest finished main roof surface is — in fact — equal to or less than the maximum height allowed and 2) The parapet is in architectural harmony with the building design and are a small percentage of the allowable height (-10%, since our Code is relatively silent). There may have been prior determinations in support of this approach (Cristelle Cay/Atlantic Wellness), or in firm opposition (Pelican Pointe?). Chapter 2: Height: The vertical distance between the minimum finished grade and the highest finished main roof surface in the case of flat roofs or shed roofs, (the deck line of a mansard roof) and (the average distance between the eaves and the ridge of sloped roof with a pitch greater than a 4:12 ratio). For the purpose of this Code, minimum finished grade shall be that elevation, for both residential and nonresidential uses, required to meet minimum flood protection regulations. For the purposes of this Code, roof mounted solar energy panels are exempt from the building height limitations. - Simply for context, we've discussed revisions for a few years to help address this matter. The previously discussed revision to our "Height" definition (unadopted) is as follows: Height: The vertical distance between the minimum finished grade and the highest finished main roof and the average distance between the eaves and the ridge of sloped roof with a pitch greater than a 4:12 ratio. For the purpose of this Code, minimum finished grade shall be that elevation, for both residential. and nonresidential uses, required to meet minimum flood protection regulations. For the purposes of this Code, roof mounted solar energy panels, mechanical equipment, architectural decorative features; spires and/or steeples on structures used for religious facilities and/or institutional uses; chimneys; radio and/or television antennas; and utility poles are exempt from the building height limitations, as provided herein. In no event shall any of the exclusions enumerated in this definition be construed to permit any habitable space to exceed the maximum height the provisions of Section 7.10.23. The height of permitted permanent and authorized temporary signs shall be subiect to the provisions of Section 9.01.00. Exception: Flagpoles in all residentially zoned areas shall not be greater than twenty (20) feet in height above the minimum finished grade level. I am interested in your thoughts related to the current Code, present situation, and the drafted adjustment that's on - hold. I think any discretionary decisions related to height should reflect direct input from the Planning Manager or PDS Director. Thank you.

Hi Kori, I am reviewing a permit for a SFR with a flat roof and parapet wall. According to LDC the height of the building is measured to the top of the shed/flat roof. This SFR has a flat roof with a parapet wall on top of the roof. The LDC only exempt solar panels from building height. Should the height be measured to the top of the parapet wall? They also have roof top condenser units, not clear if they are exempt from height.
