| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: TUES. AUGUST 22, 2017 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) PLEASE NOTE AT THIS TIME A THOROUGH REVIEW CANNOT BE |
| | ACHIEVED THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES. |
| | THIS LIFT STATION AND ATTENDANT UTILITIES IS LOCATED IN |
| | AN A5 FLOOD ZONE. THE SHEET C-3 INDICATES THE TOP OF |
| | THE GENERATOR SLAB IS TO BE 4.75 FT. FOR LIFT STATION # |
| | 20. SHEET G-3 NOTE 13 AND 14 FOR BOTH LIFT STATIONS, |
| | LIFT STATION # 20 & 89 BOTH ELEVATIONS ARE GIVEN IN |
| | NGVD 29. THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH BUILDING |
| | DEPARTMENT IS USING NGVD 29 UNTIL THE NEW FLOOD MAPS |
| | ARE ADOPTED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE ELEVATIONS IN BOTH |
| | STANDARDS DURING THIS TRANSITION PERIOD. THANK YOU. |
| | |
| | 2) THE 2ND ISSUE OR UNKNOWN IS WHEN THIS LIFT STATION |
| | WAS BUILT TO DETERMINE IF IT IS A PRE-FIRM OR POST FIRM |
| | STRUCTURE? PLEASE PROVIDE WHEN THIS STRUCTURE WAS |
| | BUILT. |
| | |
| | 3) THE OTHER ISSUE TO DETERMINE TO WHAT EXTENT THIS |
| | STRUCTURE HAS TO COMPLY IS WHAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS THE |
| | LIFT STATION, OR ANOTHER WORD HAS THE LIFT STATION HIT |
| | THE 50% OF THE STRUCTURE VALUE AND NEED TO MEET THE |
| | STANDARDS OF THE CURRENT CODE. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEET G-2 THE GENERAL NOTES DOES NOT LIST THE DESIGN |
| | CRITERIA FOR THIS BUILDING. OCCUPANCY TYPE WOULD BE |
| | UTILITY. IN THE SPECS THIS FACILITY IS LISTED AS A |
| | FORCE MAIN AND IT WOULD BE ASSUMED TO BE A RISK |
| | CATEGORY III STRUCTURE. SEE TABLE 1604.5 OF THE 2014 |
| | FBC-B. THE QUESTION IS THIS BUILDING AND OPERATION TO |
| | BE CONSIDERED A WASTE WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND |
| | OTHER PUBLIC UTILITY FACILITIES NOT INCLUDED IN RISK |
| | CATEGORY IV, THE RISK CATEGORY WOULD BE A III. |
| | |
| | 5) 2014 FBC-B 1612.4 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. THE |
| | DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES |
| | LOCATED IN FLOOD HAZARD AREAS, INCLUDING COASTAL HIGH |
| | HAZARD AREAS, SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 5 OF |
| | ASCE 7 AND WITH ASCE 24. PLEASE REVIEW IN THE ASCE/ SEI |
| | 24-05 THE DEFINITION FOR COASTAL A ZONE. |
| | COASTAL A ZONE. IN A COASTAL A ZONE, THE PRINCIPLE |
| | SOURCES OF FLOODING MUST BE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES, |
| | STORM SURGE, SEICHES OR TSUNAMIS. DURING THE BASE FLOOD |
| | CONDITIONS, THE POTENTIAL FOR BREAKING WAVE HEIGHTS |
| | SHALL BE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 1.5 FEET. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW ASCE/ SEI TABLE 4-1 AND THE REQUIRED HEIGHT |
| | ABOVE EITHER THE BASE FLOOD OR THE DFE. ON THE NEW MAPS |
| | NOT ADOPTED AS OF THIS REVIEW THE DESIGN FLOOD |
| | ELEVATION, THE DESIGN FLOOD, INCLUDING WAVE HEIGHT, |
| | RELATIVE TO THE DATUM SPECIFIED ON THE COMMUNITY?S |
| | FLOOD HAZARD MAP. THERE ARE 2 HEIGHTS GIVEN WHEN THE |
| | MEMBER ORIENTATION RELATIVE TO THE DIRECTION OF THE |
| | WAVE APPROACH: |
| | PARALLEL BFE + 1 FT. OR DFE WHICHEVER IS HIGHER. |
| | PERPENDICULAR BFE + 2 FT. OR DFE, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER. |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE FROM THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH SUMMARY OF |
| | COASTAL STILLWATER STUDY TABLE 9 FOR THIS SECTION OF |
| | THE INTERCOASTAL WATER WAY GIVEN IN NAV88 IS 7.3 FT. |
| | |
| | IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE GENERATOR, AND ATTENDANT |
| | UTILITIES WILL NEED TO BE ON A RAISED PLATFORM, WITH |
| | STAIRS AND GUARDRAIL AROUND THE TOTAL STRUCTURE. THE |
| | LIFT STATION ITSELF WOULD REQUIRE DRY FLOOD PROOFING TO |
| | A HEIGHT OF BFE + 1 FT. OR DFE WHICHEVER IS HIGHER, SEE |
| | ASCE/ SEI 24-05 TABLE 6-1. |
