RE: Finished floor waiver
Dear Mr. Montgomery & Mrs. Markowski:
t' `] — 04 K
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received October 1,.2018 to waive
the finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for a
proposed accessory metal building to an existing single family residence located at 8680 Hidden
Pines 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 proposed metal building is in Flood zone X.
2 The elevation of the center line of adjacent road is 97.05' NAVD.
3 The existing slab for the proposed building was approved and finaled under separate
permit. The slab has a finished floor elevation of 96.84' NAVD which is 0.21' below the
center line of the road.
4 Raising the proposed finished floor 18" above the center line of the road would be
impracticable and cause grade level conditions detrimental to adjacent or nearby property.
5 The metal building,will be an accessory structure to the single family residence.
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.

Attention Leslie Olson, AICP, Planning and Development Director'
I am Kyle Montgomery writing you this letter on behalf of my grandmother Edwina Markowski
requesting an elevation waiver based off the St. Lucie Land Development Code chapter 7.04.01
C-3.
I had previously requested a permit to pour a concrete foundation at 8680 Hidden Pines Road
Fort Pierce, FL 34945. The plans I submitted included engineered concrete plans for the future
metal building, survey that shows future area for metal building. My permit was approved for the
concrete. All inspections passed. The building company applied for the building permit which
was denied. It was brought to my attention after all concrete was poured that there was a certain
elevation that needed to be met. The elevation was 18" above the crown of the road (elevation of
the crown of the road is 97.05') My concrete slab for the building comes int at 96.84'. The
elevation of the house is at 100'. These elevations were provided to Monica Graziani by my
surveryor Ted Phillips. Due to I was approved for my concrete slab without knowledge of there
being a St. Lucie Building code for elevation I am requesting a waiver for my elevation. If I am
granted this waiver it will help me start the process of having my metal building (detached shop)
erected.
Thank you,
Kyle Montgomery
