RELATING TO PETITION FDPO- 80 -V -11 FOR A
VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM BASE FLOOD
ELEVATION REQUIRED BY THE FLOOD DAMAGE
PREVENTION, ORDINANCE (FDPO) NO. 79 -62.
WHEREAS, the petitioner, Thomas Conrad desires to build a single
family home at 106 Tahiti Street, Isles of Capri (Lot' 134, Unit 2, Isles
of Capri) and has requested a variance from the Minimum Base Flood
Elevation required by the FDPO No. 79 -62; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning' Appeals has held a public hearing
as required by law; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed Petition
FDPO-80 -V -11 in accordance with Section 18, Paragraphs (5), (6) and
(7), and has made -a finding that the granting of this petition, in its
opinion, complies with the intent and purpose of said Section of Ordi-
nance 79 -62 as follows:
(S) The 4 feet reduction from the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) 111- National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) require-
, ment to 7' NGVD is the minimum variance necessary, con-
sidering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
This conclusion is based on the following facts:
The adjoining home on the west is at an elevation of approx-
imately 7.09' NGVD and the adjoining house on the east is at .
an . elevation of 7.00'. The requested 'variance will put
petitioner's home at approximately the same elevation.
This is a reasonable difference in order to control drain-
age on -site, allow for reasonable acc*bss .-nd provide•for an,
appearance in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood.
(6) The 4' variance is issued upon:
(a) A showing of good and sufficient cause based on review
of considerations contained in (7), following.
(b) A determination that failure tG grant the' variance would
result in exceptional hardship to the applicant, his
neighbors and customers.
(c) A determination that the granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, additional threats to
public safety, extraordinary public expense, create
nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public,
or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
(7) In passing upon this variance, the Board of Zoning Appeals
has considered all technical evaluations, all relevant factors,
standards specified In other sections of this ordinance, and
the following; (The Board's findings are noted in paren-
theses)
(a) the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands
to the injury of others. (such danger will not be signif-
scantly afrected by the granting of this variance)
