RE: Finished floor waiver
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mucklow :
XANNED
By
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received August 30, 2018 to waive
the finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for a
proposed storage building for a single family residence at 4781 Jorgensen, 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 storage building is in Flood zone X.
2 The elevation of the center line of adjacent road is 13.13' NAVD.
3 The existing single family home is at 14.46' NAVD.
4 The Proposed fmished floor elevation will be 13.46' NAVD which is 0.33' above the center
line of the road.
5 Raising the proposed finished floor 18" will be impracticable and cause grade level
conditions detrimental to adjacent or nearby properties.
6 The storage 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.
