Attention Leslie Olson, Hi Leslie, my name is Kendra McCorkle and I own 7.3 acres at 905 S Header Canal Rd, Ft Pierce FL 34945. We just started breaking ground on the construction of our house and was just informed by the county that our formboard inspection was denied due to the fact that we aren't 18" above the crown of header canal. Header canal rd. is a dike which is why not one house on the road meets this requirement. Our property is not in a flood zone and we have already invested around $30,000 to build our house pad up 5 ft. above the original level of the property. For us to go up to this requirement would be an additional large expense. When speaking with homeowners off header canal, general contractors that built in the area, and with the county last year we were told that the 18" above header canal rd. doesn't apply because of the road being a dike, we just built our pad up 5 ft. to ensure we never have any issues. I would greatly appreciate if we can process an exemption for our home so that we don't run into problems later on. Our foundation is currently formed and our slab is ready to be poured so I would appreciate if this request could be expedited as you know the rainy season is already going to delay us. Thank you in advance for your help, please let me know if I need to provide any other information at the contact information below. Sincerely, Kendra McCorkle 772-216-2019 905 S Header Canal Rd, Ft.

From: McCorkle Kendra USRS (mailto:kendra.mccorkle@svneenta.coml Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 5:07 PM To: Angela Huff <huffa@stlucieco.org> Subject: RE: Letter of Requisition -Attention Leslie Olson Angela, We have already raised the house pad 5 ft from the original level so we would have to go up another 2 feet which is an excessive amount of dirt, the property is also not in a flood zone so it meets both of the criteria you mentioned. Every home owner I have spoken with off header canal rd says they were not required to go over the road and when I spoke with Leslie back in July she stated this. Do I need to write an official letter? Thank You! Kendra McCorkle AgriEdge Specialist South Florida Cell: 772-216-2091 Landdb Support 1-866-552-6332 syngentan AgriEdge° 2 Job.h.
