| | THIS PROJECT CONSTITUTES A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. |
| | CUMULATIVE LIFETIME IMPROVEMENTS = $477,909; PROPERTY |
| | APPRAISER VALUE FOR THE STRUCTURE IS $373,621. |
| | CUMULATIVE LIFETIME IMPROVEMENTS EXCEED 50% OF THE |
| | STRUCTURE'S VALUE. REFER TO EMAIL SENT ON 10/13 FOR |
| | FURTHER EXPLANATION AND OPTIONS. |

| | |
| | FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, THE EMAIL PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING |
| | OPTIONS: |
| | |
| | FOR SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT DETERMINATION OUR (PRE- |
| | SEPTEMBER 12, 2016) ORDINANCE COUNTS CUMULATIVE |
| | LIFETIME IMPROVEMENTS WITH A 6" FREEBOARD. OUR |
| | ORDINANCE CHANGED ON SEPTEMBER 12 TO FIVE YEARS WITH A |
| | 1' FREEBOARD. |
| | |
| | PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS A STRUCTURE VALUE OF $ 373,621 |
| | IN 2016. THE STRUCTURE HAS $477,909 CUMULATIVE LIFETIME |
| | IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH EXCEEDS 50% OF THE STRUCTURE'S |
| | VALUE, SO THIS IS CONSIDERED A "SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT". |
| | |
| | THE PRELIMINARY FLOOD ZONE MAP (NOT YET ADOPTED) WILL |
| | LIKELY REMOVE THIS PROPERTY FROM THE SFHA, SO THAT |
| | LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE STRUCTURE IS PROBABLY HIGH |
| | ENOUGH. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE PRELIMINARY MAP |
| | FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES; THIS CAN BE USED ONLY AFTER |
| | ADOPTION (MOST LIKELY WITHIN THE YEAR). |
| | |
| | THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS: |
| | |
| | A. OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL WHICH WOULD NEED TO SHOW A |
| | SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER VALUE FOR THE STRUCTURE. THE VALUE |
| | WOULD NEED TO BE OVER $955,818 TO BRING THE CUMULATIVE |
| | LIFETIME IMPROVEMENTS BELOW 50%. I (OR THE BUILDING |
| | REVIEWER) WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO EVALUATION THE |
| | VALUE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS MORE CAREFULLY. |
| | |
| | B. A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT REQUIRES THAT THE BUILDING |
| | BE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. THE DFE AT THIS LOCATION IS |
| | 16.5' NGVD29 (16' PER FIRM PLUS 6" FREEBOARD). AN |
| | ELEVATION CERTIFICATE WOULD PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO |
| | DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE BUILDING IS ALREADY |
| | COMPLIANT. MY GUESS (THE "GOOD NEWS") IS THAT THE |
| | BUILDING MAY ALREADY BE HIGH ENOUGH. IF THE MECHANICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT IS NOT LOWER THAN THE FINISHED FLOOR, OR IF |
| | IT IS ON THE ROOF, THE BUILDING MAY BE COMPLIANT. |
