| | |
| | DENIED BY BUILDING- (PREVIOUS COMMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN |
| | CORRECTED) |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | |
| | THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE THAT WAS SUBMITTED IS DENIED |
| | FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. |
| | 1) PER THE APPROVED BUILDING PLANS, THERE IS AN |
| | ATTACHED GARAGE THAT IS BELOW THE REQUIRED DESIGN FLOOD |
| | ELEVATION WITH FLOOD VENTS. UNDER ITEM A9 THERE IS NO |
| | ATTACHED GARAGE OR FLOOD OPENINGS LISTED. |
| | 2) THIS PROJECT WAS PERMITTED WHEN THE PREVIOUS FLOOD |
| | MAPS WERE IN EFFECT AND THE ELEVATIONS ON THE APPROVED |
| | PLANS ARE NGVD RATHER THAN NAVD. PROVIDE NOTE AND |
| | CONVERSION FACTOR IN THE COMMENT SECTION. |
| | 3) THE TOP OF THE BOTTOM FLOOR SHOULD BE THE ATTACHED |
| | GARAGE. THE NEXT HIGHER FLOOR SHOULD BE THE FIRST FLOOR |
| | OF THE RESIDENCE. THE LOWEST ELEVATION OF MACHINERY IS |
| | REQUIRED TO BE AT 7.5 FT NGVD OR 6.0 FT NAVD. |
| | 4) THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE REQUIRED TO SHOW THE FLOOD |
| | VENTS. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENTS. |
| | 5) THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE THAT WAS SUBMITTED IS NOT |
| | THE CURRENT ONE. THE CURRENT ONE HAS THE EXPIRATION |
| | DATE OF NOVEMBER 30, 2018. SUBMIT THE CURRENT FORM. |
| | 6) FILL IN THE FORM USING THE INFORMATION FROM THE |
| | CURRENT FIRM (OCTOBER 5,2017) ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF |
| | WEST PALM BEACH. USE THE PANEL NUMBER, FLOOD ZONE |
| | DESIGNATION AND BASE FLOOD ELEVATION FROM THE CURRENT |
| | MAP. USE THE COMMENT AREA OF SECTION D TO EXPLAIN THE |
| | MAP AND ELEVATION CHANGE AND PROVIDE THE CONVERSION |
| | FACTOR. |
| | 7) SECTION A9(D) OF THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE INDICATES |
| | THAT (5) ENGINEERED FLOOD VENTS WERE INSTALLED. THE |
| | APPROVED PLANS SPECIFY NON-ENGINEERED FLOOD VENTS WITH |
| | ADEQUATE CLEAR OPENING AREA TO PROVIDE MORE THAN THE |
| | REQUIRED 1000 SQUARE INCHES OF CLEAR OPEN AREA. BASED |
| | ON THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE, THE ENGINEERED FLOOD |
| | VENTS DO NOT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED NET CLEAR OPENING |
| | AREA OF ONE SQUARE INCH PER SQUARE FOOT OF GARAGE FLOOR |
| | AREA. SUBMIT REVISED DRAWINGS AND PRODUCT APPROVALS AND |
| | PRODUCT EVALUATION REPORTS FOR THE ENGINEERED FLOOD |
| | VENTS. |
| | 8) THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE HAS THE LOWEST EQUIPMENT |
| | AT 5.7' NGVD WHICH IS BELOW THE BFE PLUS THE 6" |
| | FREEBOARD (7.5' NGVD). THE LOWEST EQUIPMENT SERVICING |
| | THE BUILDING WILL HAVE TO BE RAISED TO BE AT OR ABOVE |
| | THE BFE AND FREEBOARD (7.5' NGVD). |
| | 9) THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE ELEVATION CERT. STATES |
| | THAT THE FORMER GARAGE IS NOW A PERSONAL GYM AT |
| | ELEVATION 5.6'. HABITABLE SPACE IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE |
| | BELOW THE REQUIRED FLOOD ELEVATION. THIS AREA WILL HAVE |
| | TO BE CONVERTED BACK TO A GARAGE AS SHOWN ON THE |
| | APPROVED PLANS OR BE ELEVATED TO 7.5' NGVD. THE LATTER |
| | WILL REQUIRE A REVISION TO THE APPROVED PLANS. |
