| | 1. WITHOUT INFORMATION REGARDING THE ENTIRE PROJECT, IT |
| | CANNOT BE DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT THIS CONSTITUTES A |
| | SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SCOPE OF |
| | THE PROPOSED DEMOLITION, IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROJECT |
| | WILL BE CONSIDERED A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. SEE THE |
| | CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE 94-546(B), FBC |
| | 2010 EXISTING BUILDING 202, 601.3, 1003.5. |
| | |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT ARE TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PERMIT |
| | DOCUMENTS, EITHER BY REVISING THE SHEETS SUBMITTED OR |
| | PROVIDING A NEW PAGE. |
| | |
| | THE SURVEY SHOWS FFE AT FRONT DOOR = 8.99', LOWER FLOOR |
| | = 7.42', GARAGE =7.63'. AS THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED IN |
| | FLOOD ZONE A7 WITH A BASE FLOOD ELEVATION OF 7', AND |
| | WEST PALM BEACH HAS A 6" FREEBOARD, THE MINIMUM |
| | ELEVATION FOR HABITABLE SPACE AND EQUIPMENT IS 7'6". |
| | ENCLOSURES UNDER THE HABITABLE SPACE OR AREAS USED FOR |
| | PARKING, STORAGE OR ACCESS CAN BE LESS THAN 7'6" BUT |
| | THEN MUST HAVE FLOOD RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION, BE |
| | DESIGNED TO RESIST FLOOD LOADS, AND HAVE FLOOD VENTS |
| | INSTALLED. IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE SURVEY WHETHER THE |
| | AREA WHICH IS 7.42' WILL NEED TO BE RAISED TO 7.5'. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, PROVIDE A "CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS" |
| | PHASE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE. TWO ADDITIONAL ELEVATION |
| | CERTIFICATES WILL BE REQUIRED; "BUILDING UNDER |
| | CONSTRUCTION" AND "FINISHED CONSTRUCTION". |
