RE: Finished floor waiver
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received May 17, 2018 to waive the
finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for a proposed
detached garage for an existing single family home at 7804 Ft Walton Ave., Fort Pierce.
Pursuant to Section 7.04.01(C-3 & C-4) 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 addition is in Flood zone X.
2 The elevation of center line of the road is 20.7V NAVD.
3 The finished floor elevation of existing house is 21.95' NAVD.
4 The finished floor elevation of the proposed garage will be 21.95, which is 1.24' NAVD
above the center line of the road.
5 Raising the finished floor can cause conditions detrimental to the existing house and
adjacent or nearby property.
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, AICP
Planning and Development Services Director
