| | 2ND REVIEW |
| | DATE: SUN. SEPT. 08/2019 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1A) SEMI-COMPLIED. THE BUILDING IN QUESTION BEING |
| | LOCATED IN A FLOOD ZONE AE IS THE MODULAR BUILDING. |
| | THE NEW SURVEY THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR THIS REVIEW IS IN |
| | NAVD 88 WITH A FINISH FLOOR OF 13.89 FT. NAVD88, WHICH |
| | IS APPROXIMATELY 1 13/16TH OF AN INCH BELOW THE |
| | REQUIRED 2 FEET FREEBOARD. |
| | |
| | THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT ($138,917 PLUS $448,181.00 |
| | DOLLARS, OF LAST 5 YEARS OF IMPROVEMENTS) APPEARS TO BE |
| | A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT BASED ON THE PALM BEACH |
| | COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE VALUATION FOR THE |
| | STRUCTURE ($704,160.00). IF THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT. THE STRUCTURE IS TO BE BROUGHT INTO |
| | COMPLIANCE (BFE 14.0 FT. NAVD88 FOR THE LOWEST FINISHED |
| | FLOOR & ALL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT). APPLICANT CAN |
| | PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FOR VALUATION OTHER THAN THE |
| | PROPERTY APPRAISER?S OFFICE; PLEASE SEE FEMA TECHNICAL |

| | |
| | IMPORTANT!!!!!!! PLEASE NOTE THE VALUE OF THE |
| | STRUCTURES FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER?S OFFICE IS FOR |
| | BOTH BUILDINGS AND THE MAJORITY OF THE LAST 5 YEARS |
| | WORK IS ON THE LARGER BUILDING WHICH IS OUT OF THE |
| | FLOOD ZONE. WHAT WE NEED IS THE VALUE OF THE WORK |
| | COMPLETED ON THE MAIN BUILDING AND A VALUE OF WORK |
| | COMPLETED ON THE ANNEXED MANUFACTURED BUILDING AND AN |
| | ASSESSED VALUE FOR THE ANNEXED BUILDING AND MAIN |
| | BUILDING TO SEE IF ON THE ANNEXED BUILDING, THE VALUE |
| | OF THE WORK COMPLETED AND NEW WORK IS GOING TO STILL BE |
| | CONSIDERED SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS A CRITICAL |
| | PROCESS TO SEE IF THE ANNEXED MANUFACTURED BUILDING |
| | WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT AND |
| | HAVE TO BE RAISED OR NOT MEET THE 50 % OF THE VALUE OF |
| | THE STRUCTURE AND NOT BE CONSIDERED A SUBSTANTIAL |
| | IMPROVEMENT AND STAY AT THE SAME HEIGHT. YOU CAN GET A |
| | CERTIFIED APPRAISAL THAT MAY HELP INCREASE THE VALUE OF |
| | THE MANUFACTURERED BUILDING FOR THE BUILDING OFFICIAL |
| | TO REVIEW AND APPROVE. |

| | PAD SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE 2 ADDITIONAL FEET OF |
| | ELEVATION TO 14.00 FEET NAVD88 TO MEET THE CITIES |
| | FREEBOARD REQUIREMENT. |

| | PLEASE NOTE THE VALUE OF THE STRUCTURES FROM THE |
| | PROPERTY APPRAISER?S OFFICE IS FOR BOTH BUILDINGS AND |
| | THE MAJORITY OF THE LAST 5 YEARS IS ON THE LARGER |
