| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF A LATERIAL ADDITION AND A |
| | RENOVATION TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. THE LATERAL |
| | ADDITION IS STRUCTURALLY CONNECTED TO THE EXISTING |
| | BUILDING AND IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT TO A |
| | PRE-FIRM BUILDING. THEREFORE, THE BUILDING AND THE |
| | ADDITION ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW ELEVATION |
| | REQUIREMENTS. FEMA P-758 ACCORDING TO THE FLOOD |
| | INSURANCE RATE MAP WHICH WAS ADOPTED ON OCTOBER 5, 2017 |
| | AND IS APPLICABLE TO THIS PROJECT, THE STRUCTURE IS |
| | LOCATED IN AN AE FLOOD ZONE WHICH IS A SPECIAL FLOOD |
| | HAZARD AREA. THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION FOR THE PROPERTY |
| | IS 7' NAVD 88. THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH HAS ADOPTED |
| | A FLOOD ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES A TWO (2) FOOT FREE |
| | BOARD. THIS MEANS THAT THE LOWEST FLOOR AND ALL |
| | EQUIPMENT SERVICING THE RESIDENCE IS REQUIRED TO BE AT |
| | OR ABOVE 9' NAVD 88. THE GARAGE AND STORAGE CAN BE |
| | BELOW BFE, IF FLOOD VENTS ARE INSTALLED AND NO |
| | MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT THAT CAN BE DAMAGED BY FLOOD |
| | WATERS ARE BELOW BFE. SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THESE |
| | REQUIREMENTS ON THE PLANS. SPECIFY ALL ELEVATIONS IN |
| | NAVD 88. |
| | |

| | COMPLIANCE WITH FBC-R401.3 DRAINAGE. SURFACE DRAINAGE |
| | SHALL BE DIVERTED TO A STORM SEWER CONVEYANCE OR OTHER |
| | APPROVED POINT OF COLLECTION THAT DOES NOT CREATE A |
| | HAZARD. LOTS SHALL BE GRADED TO DRAIN SURFACE WATER |
| | AWAY FROM FOUNDATION WALLS. THE GRADE SHALL FALL A |
| | MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES (152 MM) WITHIN THE FIRST 10 FEET |
| | (3048 MM). PROVIDE ELEVATIONS TO SHOW COMPLIANCE ON THE |
| | PLANS. |
| | EXCEPTION: WHERE LOT LINES, WALLS, SLOPES OR OTHER |
| | PHYSICAL BARRIERS PROHIBIT 6 INCHES (152 MM) OF FALL |
| | WITHIN 10 FEET (3048 MM), DRAINS OR SWALES SHALL BE |
| | CONSTRUCTED TO ENSURE DRAINAGE AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE. |
| | IMPERVIOUS SURFACES WITHIN 10 FEET (3048 MM) OF THE |
| | BUILDING FOUNDATION SHALL BE SLOPED A MINIMUM OF 2 |
| | PERCENT AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 3) SPECIFY THE HEIGHT FROM THE LOWEST ADJACENT GRADE OF |
| | THE THE TALLEST PART OF THE STRUCTURE OR ARCHITECTURAL |
| | EMBELLISHMENT ON THE PLANS. FBC 107.2.1 |

| | ARE NOT CLEAR. PROVIDE AREA TABULATIONS FOR THE |
| | EXISTING AND PROPOSED A/C AND NON-A/C AREAS ON THE |

| | |
| | 5) THE INSULATION NOTES ON SHEET A-002 DO NOT MATCH THE |
| | ENERGY FORMS. THE PLANS SPECIFY R-4.1 WALLS AND R-19 |
| | CEILING AND THE ENERGY FORMS HAVE R-5.0 AND R-20. |
| | PLEASE CORRECT. FBC ENERGY CONSERVATION R405 |
