Plan Implementation Phase 3 – Regulatory Relief 9/5/18 DSAC” for information purposes. He
noted:
• Staff will be seeking direction in October from the BCC on developing guidelines to reduce
regulations and costs associated with affordable housing projects.
• The intent is to work with the DSAC on the endeavor which includes developing regulatory
relief and streamlining the processes involved with the development of certain projects where
the applicant proposes to voluntarily provide a portion of their units as affordable housing
The Committee noted the proposed incentives include Assisted Living Facility projects and Staff
should review any Medicare regulations that may have an impact on the proposal.
C. Issuing Paper Permits Upon Approval [Jon Walsh]
Mr. Walsh reported those who opt for an online payment the fees associated with issuance of a
paper permit will have their permit issued automatically upon payment.
D. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance [Caroline Cilek]
Ms. Cilek and Mr. Walsh presented the Proposed Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance for
consideration. They noted the proposal is to repeal and replace the existing Ordinance utilizing the
State Model Ordinance with some additional local requirements. The DSAC-LDR Subcommittee
reviewed the proposal and provided comments which have been incorporated into the latest draft
(where possible under FEMA requirements).
Mr. Brooker, Subcommittee Chairman reported the Subcommittee reviewed the proposed
Ordinance in detail, with real time minor changes made by Staff at the meeting. A major area of
discussion revolved around Section 62-112, enclosures below the Base Flood Elevation. There was
a concern on including the requirements when the Florida Building Code already prohibits use of the
space as habitable area.
Staff reported:
• The Section is incorporated as a local reminder on the prohibition of utilizing the space as
habitable areas and provides additional details what is expected for use of the space. Staff is
regularly contacted by individuals who have purchased properties with the space converted
and unbeknownst to them, is not permitted and the violation needs to be corrected.
• They addressed concerns raised by the Subcommittee including allowing the space to be
temperature controlled with a non-permanently installed air conditioner, adjusting entry door
standards, however glass doors are not permitted.
• The use of non flood proof materials in these areas as suggested by the Subcommittee is not
permitted by FEMA.
• A “Non Conversion Agreement” for new construction is now required to be executed
whereby the owner is given due notice converting the space without permits would be a

violation of County Codes. The document will be filed as a public record for “flagging”
during a title search.
The Committee recommended glass doors be permitted in the entry way areas for aesthetic
purposes occurred on the prohibition of glass entry doors to the area with Staff reporting they
would review the issue as they are amenable to allowing the treatment in the area.
Mr. Brooker moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed Flood
Damage Prevention Ordinance with the exception of Section 62-112 which is addressed under the
requirements of the Florida Building Code. Alternately, if it is brought forward in its current
form, Staff considers changing the requirements of the Section to allow for glass entry doors into
the enclosed area. Second by Mr. Curl. Motion carried 11 “yes” – 1 “no.” Mr. Espinar voted
“no.”
Staff to provide final copy of the document to DSAC Members for their records.

IX. Committee Member Comments
Mr. Dunnavant expressed concern on the amount of time required for Public Utilities to issue an
“Ability to Serve Letter” and would like clarification on the rationale for the timing.
