Please accept this letter in response to your written request received October 30, 2019 to waive
the finished floor elevation of 18" above the crown of the road. The waiver request is for 9
proposed garages for Palmetto Village, located at 13400 Harbour Ridge Blvd., Palm City.
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 properties, consistent with the
intent ofthe 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 garages are located in Flood Zone X.

T NAVD (highest) which will be 0.6' — LI6; allove therelevation o£the crown of the road.
The'eIevatian of tlie'Zcenter line of the a ija Out- vati s �1Du 1 D at -the entryrof

4. Raising the finished floor 18" above center line of the road would be impracticable due to
existing constraints that will not allow the finished floor elevation to meet or exceed IS'
above the center line of Harbour Ridge Blvd. The garage slabs will need to tie into varying
existing edge of pavement locations.for transition and alleviation ofheight change hazards.
