RE: Finished floor waiver
Dear. Mr. McKuhen:
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Planning Division
SCANNED
BY
St Lucie County
�8�o—oaoz,
Please accept this letter in response to your written request received November 30, 2018 to waive
the finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for a
proposed attached storage area to an existing single family residence at 26 Aqua Ra Dr., Jensen
Beach.
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 proposed finished floor elevation will be at 6' NAVD which is 1.38' above the center
line of the road and the same elevation of the existing lowest floor of the house.
2 The center line of the adjacent road is 4.62' NAVD.
3 The existing single family residence is at 6' NAVD.
4 The property is in Flood zone AE-6. Flood vents will be installed to minimize future flood
damage, as indicated on the building plans with the building permit.
5 Raising the finished floor elevation 13" above' center line of the road will cause the floor
of the storage area to be 0.12' higher than the fmished floor elevation of the house.
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,
j

Dear Leslie,
In reference to zoning review comments dated 11/28/2018, I am respectfully requesting a waiver from
the 18 inches above the crown of the road. This would reduce the finished floor elevation of this
storage area to 6.0 and I am prepared to install approved flood vents per the plans on file in your office.
i
Enclosed is a copy of the survey showing the elevation at the centerline of road.
I understand there is a $50.00 fee for an administration waiver and it may be added to the permit fees.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Eschol McKuhen

6.4.1 Rehabilitation and Remodeling
The NFIP considers rehabilitation and remodeling to include improvements to a building that
!do not affect the external dimensions nor expand the total area of the building. Rehabilita-
tion may or may not involve structural modification of the building. The local official must
