| | |
| | GOOD MORNING MS MENENDEZ, |
| | |
| | WE HAVE REVIEWED THE FLOOD ZONE CERTIFICATE ATTACHED |
| | AND FOUND THAT IT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FLOOD |
| | ZONE PROVISIONS AND CAN NOT BE ACCEPTED. THE |
| | CERTIFICATE DOES INDICATE THAT THE FINISH FLOOR SLAB IS |
| | LOCATED ABOVE THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION AND ABOVE THE |
| | ADDITIONAL SIX INCHES THE CITY REQUIRES TO RECEIVE |
| | ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS FOR STRUCTURES LOCATED IN "A" |
| | FLOOD ZONES. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION C OF THE CERTIFICATE |
| | SECTION C2 E). THIS LINE INDICATES THE ELEVATION OF |
| | MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT SERVICING THE BUILDING, AND THE |
| | ELEVATION IS INDICATED AT 13.50 NGVD. THE A/C EQUIPMENT |
| | IS LOCATED 3'-0" BELOW THE 16.5' REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | IN THE FEMA PUBLICATION SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT |
| | SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE THERE ARE SEVERAL ILLUSTRATIONS |
| | WHERE LATERAL ADDITIONS MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT POST FIRM |
| | BUILDINGS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT. IN YOUR CASE THE |
| | ADDITION IS A NEW ATTACHED BUILDING WITH A 4 HOUR FIRE |
| | WALL CREATING AN ATTACHED BUT SEPARATE BUILDING AS FAR |
| | AS THE BUILDING CODE IS CONCERNED BECAUSE OF FBC-B |
| | TABLE 503 FOR ALLOWABLE AREA AND HEIGHT. WHEN WE LOOK |
| | AT THE FEMA REQUIREMENTS, THERE ARE THREE ISSUES THAT |
| | CLASSIFY THIS AS AN ADDITION THAT EFFECTS THE EXISTING |
| | NON-COMPLIANT BUILDING. (1) THE ADDITION IS CLASSIFIED |
| | AS SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT, (2) THE TWO BUILDINGS DO |
| | SHARE PORTIONS OF A COMMON 4 HOUR FIRE WALL, AND (3) |
| | COMMUNICATING OPENINGS BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS. |
| | |
| | WE WILL NEED A NEW PROPOSED ELEVATION CERTIFICATE WITH |
| | EITHER: |
| | 1) THE EXISTING SLAB AND PROPOSED SLAB ABOVE THE BASE |
| | FLOOD ELEVATION OF 16.5' NGVD OR |
| | 2) SINCE THIS IS A NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDING FLOOD |
| | PROOFING 1 FOOT ABOVE THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION OR 17.5' |
| | NGVD. |
| | |
| | IN EITHER CASE ON THE FLOOD ZONE CERTIFICATE SECTION C2 |
| | E) NOT ONLY ASK AT WHAT ELEVATION THE EQUIPMENT IS SET |
| | BUT ALSO REQUIRES THE SURVEYOR TO DESCRIBE ON THE BACK |
| | OF THE FORM TYPE OF EQUIPMENT AND LOCATION OF EQUIPMENT |
| | UNDER THE HEADING OF "COMMENTS". |
| | |
| | FEMA NOW REQUIRES 3 FLOOD ZONE CERTIFICATES: |
| | 1) ONE BEFORE PERMIT ISSUANCE FOR THE PROPOSED WORK |
| | INDICATING THE FINISH FLOOR ELEVATION IN NGVD SINCE OUR |
| | FIRM MAPS ARE IN NGVD. |
| | 2) ONCE THE SLAB IS POURED THE ACTUAL FINISH FLOOR |
| | ELEVATION IN NGVD. |
| | 3) AT TIME OF (BEFORE) C/O WITH THE ATTENDANT MACHINERY |
| | AND OR EQUIPMENT SERVICING THE BUILDING. |
| | |
| | IF ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ARISE, PLEASE CONTACT US SO WE |
| | CAN HELP YOUR PROJECT ALONG. |
