The waiver request is for a residential renovation/addition located at 360 Barraclough Street, 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 within flood zone X. 2. The elevation of the center line of the adjacent road is 15.44' NAVD. 3. The proposed fmished floor of the single-family residence is 16.2' NAVD. 4. The house is .76' NAVD higher than the centerline of the road 5. The house was built in 1955. At that time habitable structures were not required to be elevated 18" above the centerline of the road. 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.

Please show caution when clicking links or opening attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content- is safe. Dear, Mayte Santa Maria. This is Luis Remartini, general contractor. I am writing to you to request a relief from finished floor elevation at 360 Barraclought St, Fort Pierce. Permit 2009- 0458. The house was built on 1955. By that time the 18" above crown of road was not required so the house does not meet that condition. The addition is being done with the house elevation, that being said, the addition does can not meet that requirement. If you could please assist us with this. Please let me know if you any questions or I am missing something. Thank you very much. Regards, Luis Remartini. 772.480.5861. Venice Commercial Services, Inc.

Principal Purpose(s): This information) is being collected for the primary purpose of estimating the risk premium rates necessary to provide flood insurance for new or substantially improved structures in designated Special. Flood Hazard Areas. Routine Use(s): The information on th of 1974, as amended. This includes t FEMA-003 — National Flood Insurance FEMA/NFIP/LOMA-1 — National Flood Fed. Reg. 7990 (February 15, 2008); a form may be disclosed as generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act ng this information as necessary and authorized by the routine uses published In DHS/ rogram Files System or Records Notice 73 Fed. Reg. 77747 (December 19, 2008); DHS/ surance Program (NFIP) Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) System of Records Notice 71 1 upon written request, written consent, by agreement, or as required by law. Disclosure: The disclosure of information on this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide the information requested may result in the inability to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or the applicant may be subject to higher premium rates for flood insurance; Information will only be released as permitted by law. The Elevation Certificate is ai provide elevation information the proper insurance premiun based on fill (LOMR-F). Purpose of the Elevation Certificate Iministrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is to be used to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision The Elevation Certificate is required in o{der to properly rate Post -FIRM buildings, which are buildings constructed after publication of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), located in flood insurance Zones Al—A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, VI—V30, V (with BFE), AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1—A30, AR/AH, and AR/AO. The Elevation Certificate is not required for Pre -FIRM buildings unless the building is being rated under the optional Post -FIRM flood insurance rules. As part of the agreement for making flood insurance available in a community, the NFIP requires the community to adopt floodplain management regulations that specify minimum requirements for reducing flood losses. One such requirement is for the community to obtain the elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new and substantially improved buildings, and maintain a record of such information. The Elevation Certificate provides a way for a community to document compliance with the community's floodplain management ordinance. Use of this certificate does not provide a waiver of the flood insurance purchase requirement. Only a LOMA or LOMR-F from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can amend the FIRM and remove the Federal mandate for a lending institution to require the purchase of flood insurance. However, the lending institution has the option of requiring flood insurance even if a LOMA/LOMR-F has been issued by FEMIA. The Elevation Certificate may be used to support a LOMA or LOMR-F request. Lowest floor and lowest adjacent grade elevations certified by a surveyor or engineer will be required if the certificate is used to support a LOMA or LOMR-F request. A LOMA or, LOMR-F request must be submitted with either a completed FEMA MT-EZ or MT-1 package, whichever is appropriate. This certificate is used only to certify building elevations. A separate certificate is required for floodproofing. Under the NFIP, non- residential buildings can be floodproofed iup to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). A floodproofed building is a building that has been designed and constructed to be watertight (substantially impermeable to floodwaters) below the BFE. Floodproofing of residential buildings is not permitted udder the NFIP unless FEMA has granted the community an exception for residential floodproofed basements. The community must adopt standards for design and construction of floodproofed basements before FEMA will grant a basement exception. For both floodproofed non-residential buildings and residential floodproofed basements in communities that have been granted an ekception by FEMA, a floodproofing certificate is required. Additional guidance can be found in FEMA Publication 467-1, Floodplain Management Bulletin: Elevation Certificate, available on FEMA's website at boos•//www.fema.govimedia-library/assets/documents/35397!d=l727.
