| | PREVIOUS COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1) THE ELEVATION CERTIFICATE FORM THAT WAS SUBMITTED IS |
| | EXPIRED. SUBMIT THE CURRENT ELEVATION CERTIFICATE FORM |
| | 2019 EDITION THAT EXPIRES ON NOVEMBER 30, 2022. |
| | |
| | 2) THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE ON THE EC IS NOT CORRECT. |
| | SHOULD BE LATITUDE 26.680810 AND LONGITUDE -80.048770. |
| | |
| | 3) THE BUILDING DIAGRAM NUMBER IS INCORRECT. THIS |
| | STRUCTURE IS A RAISED SLAB AND THE CORRECT BUILDING |
| | DIAGRAM IS 1B. |
| | |
| | 4) THE EC NEEDS TO HAVE THE SURVEYOR'S DIGITAL SEAL AND |
| | SIGNATURE IF SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY. ALTERNATELY, |
| | AFTER THE EC HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED, THE PAPER |
| | DOCUMENT CAN BE SUBMITTED WITH THE SURVEYOR'S ORIGINAL |
| | SEAL AND SIGNATURE. |
| | |
| | 5) THE EC HAS THE TOWN OF PALM BEACH AND THIS PROJECT |
| | IS IN THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH. |
| | |
| | 6) BASED ON THE INFORMATION ON THE EC THAT WAS |
| | SUBMITTED THE FINISH FLOOR IS AT 8'-0" NAVD 88 AND THE |
| | A/C EQUIPMENT IS 5.6 FEET NAVD 88. THE FLOOD ZONE IS AE |
| | AND THE BFE IS 7 FEET NAVD. THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | ADOPTED A 2 FOOT FREEBOARD BY ORDINANCE ALONG WITH THE |
| | CURRENT FIRMS DATED OCTOBER 5, 2017. THIS DFE REQUIRES |
| | THE FINISH FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT TO BE AT OR ABOVE 9'-0" |
| | NAVD 88. BASED ON THE INFORMATION SUBMITTED THIS |
| | RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S |
| | FLOOD ORDINANCE AND FBC R322. |
| | HOWEVER, AT THE TIME THE PERMIT FOR THIS HOUSE WAS |
| | APPLIED FOR, AUGUST 29, 2017, THE FIRM THAT WAS IN |
| | EFFECT WAS THE MARCH 1, 1979 ONE. THE COMMUNITY NUMBER |
| | IS 120229 AND THE PANEL IS 0020B. THE FLOOD ZONE IS A5 |
| | BASE FLOOD ELEVATION (BFE) IS 7' NGVD '29. THE CITY OF |
| | WEST PALM BEACH FLOOD ORDINANCE THAT WAS IN EFFECT AT |
| | THAT TIME HAS A 1 FOOT FREEBOARD WHICH REQUIRES THE |
| | FINISH FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT TO BE A MINIMUM OF ONE FOOT |
| | (1') ABOVE THE BFE. THE APPROVED BUILDING PLANS SPECIFY |
| | A FINISH FLOOR ELEVATION OF 8' NGVD 29 WHICH COMPLIES |
| | WITH THE FLOOD ORDINANCE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF |
| | APPLICATION. IN ORDER TO SHOW COMPLIANCE, YOU WILL NEED |
| | TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE COMMENTS SECTION |
