Department, Project Review Section Manager will consider
requests to decrease the finish floor elevation. All
requests will require an analysis, by a Florida
Registered Professional Engineer, of the 25 year, 3 day
storm event and the 100 year, 3 day storm event using
zero discharge, for the entire discharge, for the entire
drainage basin in which the proposed structure is
located. Reductions may be allowed on the basis of the
analysis, but in no case shall the finish floor be less
than the FIRM.
