WHEREAS, the preliminary flood-plain maps are due to be adopt- ed by Monroe County on June 5th, 1989; and such maps will benefit the majority of the citizens of said County; and therefore it is our intent to agree ,with the preliminary maps and our intent not co support individual appeals thereto; and WHEREAS, we have decided that the use of "Market Value" in- stead of the "taxable value" in the "substantial improvement" calculation will provide a greater dollar amount of improvement allowable, and WHEREAS, we feel that the flood variance applications now coming before us, could be better handled through procedures and administrative interpretations of the appropriate representatives of the Growth Management Division, and WHEREAS, this does not eliminate the need for flood variances that are not covered by growth management procedures or adminis- trative interpretations, now therefore, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows: Section 1. An emergency is hereby declared and notice waived by four-fifth' s vote. Section 2. Ordinance No. 014-1988 and Monroe County Land Development Regulation Sections 9.5-316(b) , 9. 5-316(c) , 9. 5-4(S-18) , 9. 5-317 (b) ( 1)b, 9. 5-317(b) ( 1)d(viii) , and 9. 5-317 (b) ( 2) , are modified or repealed as outlined below: Sec. 1. Purpose and Intent. It is the purpose of the floodplain management provisions to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: A. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities. B. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facili- ties which serve such uses, be. protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction. C. Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers which are involved in the accommodation of floodwaters. D. Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase erosion or flood damage. E. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands. F. To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts asso- ciated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public. G. To minimize prolonged business interruptions. H. To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, and streets and bridges located in floodplains. Ia To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood-prone areas in such manner as to minimize future flood blight areas. 2 • J. To ensure that potential home buyers are notified that the property is in a floodplain area. The Board of County Commissioners deem it to be in the best interest of its citizens that prudent measures be taken to mini- mize the potential public and private loss due to flooding. It is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners that the Coun- ty at all times be eligible for, and receive, the benefit of participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. It is therefore the intent of the Board that the provisions of this ordinance be strictly adhered to. Sec. 2. General Provisions A. Applicability. No structure or manufactured home hereafter shall be located, extended, converted, or structurally altered without full compliance with the terms of this Ordinance, in addition to other applicable regulations of this chapter. B. Adoption of Maps. The . areas of special flood hazard identified by the . Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in its Flood Insurance Study and Wave Height Analysis for Monroe County, Florida Unincorporated Areas, dated December 1, 1983, or the most current official maps approved by FEMA, with accompany- ing maps and other supporting data, and any revisions thereof, are adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this divi- sion and shall be kept on file, available to the public, in the offices of the County Planning Department. C. Rules for Interpreting Flood Hazard Issues. The bound- aries of the flood hazard areas shown on the official Flood Insur- ance Rate Maps may be determined by scaling distances. Required interpretations of those maps for precise locations of such bound- aries shall be made by the Building Official, in consultation with the Director of Planning. In interpreting other provisions of this Ordinance, the Director of Planning shall be guided by the current edition of the Local Official' s Floodplain Management Handbook. Additionally, the Building Official shall also obtain, review and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, state or other source, as a criteria for requiring that new construction, substantial im- 3 .provements, or other developments meet the criteria required in the appropriate flood zone. Section 9.5-316(c) Where the phrase "substantial improvement" appears, in this Ordinance it shall have the meaning "any repair, reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either, (a) before the improvement or repair is started, or (b) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purpose of this definition "market value" shall be determined by appraisals prepared by individuals that must pos- sess certification and current membership in one or more of the following associations: MAI, AIREA and/or RM. As an acceptable alternative, a currently licensed real estate broker in Monroe County, who is qualified to conduct single family residence ap- praisals by one or more of the state or federally chartered banks or savings institutions in the County may also prepare appraisals. A letter from the local appraisal division of the bank testi- fying to the qualifications of the Real Estate Broker, must be submitted with the appraisal. The appraisals must be prepared accordingly to standards established by MAI or A.I .R.E.A. Copies of all appraisals shall be forwarded to the office of the County Property Appraiser. For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commenc- es, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimen- sions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either ( 1) any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing safety code specifications which are solely neces- sary to assure safe living conditions or (2) any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the state inventory of historic places, or any inventory of local historic places. "Cumulative substantial improvement" means that improvement which is not substantial by itself but, when added to all prior nonsubstantial improvements to the original structure, 4 • would cause all the improvements to be substantial if permitted at one time. All applications deemed substantial or non substantial must be approved by the FEMA Coordinator, Director of Growth Management, Deputy Director of Growth Management, or the Building Official/Director. D. Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The degree of flood protection required in this Ordinance is reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations.. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occa- sions. . Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This Ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Ordinance shall not create liability on the part of Monroe County or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. E. For the purposes of this Ordinance only, manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. The term also includes park trailers, travel trailers, and similar transportable structures placed on a site for 180 consecutive days or longer and intended to be improved property. . Sec. 3 . Standards for Issuance of Building Permits in Areas of Special Flood Hazards. A. Generally. In all areas of special flood hazard, the following standards apply: 1. All new construction and cumulative substantial improvements shall be adequately anchored by pilings or columns to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral move- ment of the structure. No fill shall be used for struc- tural support. 5 • 2. All new construction and cumulative substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. 3 . All new construction and cumulative substantial improvements shall be constructed by methods and practic- es that minimize flood damage. 4. All new or replacement water supply systems shall be designed and constructed by methods and practices that minimized flood damage. 5. All new or replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed and constructed to minimize or elimi- nate infiltration of floodwaters into the system and discharge from the system into floodwaters. Joints between sewer drain components shall be sealed with caulking, plastic or rubber gaskets and all manhole covers shall be sealed in a similar manner. 6. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located and constructed to minimize or eliminate damage to them and contamination from them during flooding. 7. Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improve- ment to a structure which already is in compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance shall meet the require- ments of new construction as contained in this Ordinance. 8. No man-made alteration of sand dunes, dune ridge, mangrove stands or wetlands shall be allowed which would increase potential flood damage. 9. All new construction shall be located landward of the reach of mean high tides. 10. All agreements for deed purchase agreements, leas- es, or other contracts for sale or exchange of lots within areas of special flood hazard must carry the following flood hazard warning prominently displayed on the document: FLOOD HAZARD WARNING This property may be subject to flooding. You should contact the County Department 6 of Planning and obtain the latest infor- mation regarding flood elevations and restrictions on development before making use of this property. B. Additional Standards. In all areas of special flood hazard where base flood elevation data has been provided the following provisions are required: 1. Residential Construction. a. New construction or cumulative substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have the lowest floor elevated at or above the base flood elevation level. b. Electrical and mechanical equipment servicing an elevated structure must be elevated at or above the required base flood elevation. Elevators may be placed below the required base flood elevation, although the mechanical and electrical equipment serving the elevator must be elevated at or above the required base flood elevation. c. Sewer and storm drainage systems which extend below the base flood elevation shall be provided with automatic back flow prevention valves or devic- es installed at the point where the line passes an exterior wall or slab. d. Except as noted in Sec. 3 (B) ( 6) of this Ordi- nance, the space below the lowest floor of an ele- vated structure shall be used exclusively for park- ing of vehicles, elevators, limited storage or building access purposes. Such spaces may be en- closed under the following conditions: (i) Walls of any enclosed area must be de- signed and constructed in a manner to prevent flotation, collapse and lateral movement of the structure. T,. ( ii) The walls of any enclosed area, which do not meet the breakaway standards, shall be 7 provided with openings such as vents, louvers, or automatic valves which permit the level of floodwaters within the enclosed area to match the rising and falling of floodwaters on the outside of the structure. Openings shall be provided having a minimum net area of one square foot ( 1 sq. ft. ) for each one hundred forty-four square feet (144 sq. ft. ) of en- closed area. Openings shall be situated such that the bottom of the opening is no lower than one foot ( 1 ft. ) above grade and no high- er than two feet ( 2 ft. ) above grade. ( iii)Enclosed areas below the base flood eleva- tion shall be provided with air vents extend- ing above the base flood elevation to prevent the entrapment or air within the enclosure by floodwaters. (iv) Interior wall, ceiling and floor materi- als located 'below the base flood elevation must be of unfinished materials which are resistant to flood damage=, except that materi- als required by applicable fire codes shall be permitted. (v) Necessary electrical switches for re- quired lighting circuits. may be located below the base flood elevation provided they are of the outdoor water resistant variety on a sepa- rate ground-fault protection circuit breaker and do not exceed the minimum number required by law. Except for elevator equipment, elec- trical receptacles shall not be located below the base flood elevation. (vi) Walls constructed entirely of wood lat- tice work or screen mesh shall be considered as satisfying the requirements of subsections ( i) and (ii) above. 8 (vii)The area enclosed below the base flood elevation shall not be used for human habita- tion. 2. Nonresidential Construction. a. New construction or cumulative substantial improvements of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure either shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood elevation, or together with attendant utilities and sanitary facilities, shall have water permeable walls and structural compo- nents capable of resisting the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads ,and effects of buoyancy associat- ed with the base flood. Floodproofing design and methods shall be consistent with the provisions for building classifications as stated in the "Floodproofing Non-Residential Structures" Manual FEMA 102 dated May 1986. b. Accessory structures at grade elevation shall be permitted for storage or parking purposes provid- ed that they are anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure and do not exceed three hundred ( 300) square feet of enclosed area and which does not exceed five thou- sand dollars ($5,000.00) in value. Plans for such structure shall be submitted to the building offi- cial for approval prior to construction. 3. Manufactured Homes. (a) Effective June 1, 1977, no manufactured home not already in place shall be placed within areas of special flood hazard except in existing manufac- tured home park or subdivision, as hereafter de- fined. In the event that the Federal Emergency Management Agency eliminates the existing manufac- tured home park or subdivision requirement of 44 9 11111 CFR 60. 3 (c) ( 12) , then no manufactured home may be placed below the base flood elevation. (b) A manufactured home that is to be placed on a qualified lot may be placed at an elevation below base flood elevation provided that: ( i) The lot on which the manufactured home is to be placed is located in an existing manufac- tured home park or subdivision and is contigu- ous to, and surrounded, by manufactured homes not at base flood elevation. For the purposes of this section, an existing manufactured home park or subdivision is one in which, at the time of application, there are no site built residences or a park or subdivision which is limited to manufactured homes only by the Monroe County Land Development Regulations. In the event the Federal Emergency Management Agency eliminates the existing manufactured home park or subdivision exemption, then the existing manufactured home park or subdivision exemption of this subsection shall no longer be of any force or effect. (ii) The manufactured home so placed will be placed at an elevation equal to that of the surrounding manufactured homes. (c) An existing manufactured home may be replaced without regard to the elevation requirements of these regulations and without need of a variance provided the manufactured home so replaced was at an elevation below the base flood elevation. (d) All manufactured homes shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse or lateral movement by providing over-the-top and frame ties to ground anchors. Specific requirements shall be that: (i) over-the-top ties shall be provided at each end of the manufactured home with one 10 11111 additional tie per side at an intermediate location for manufactured homes less than fifty feet ( 50' ) long and two additional ties per side at intermediate locations for manufac- tured homes of fifty feet (50' ) or greater length. ( ii) Frame ties shall be provided at each corner of the manufactured home with four ( 4) additional ties per side at intermediate loca- tions for manufactured homes less than fifty feet ( 50 ' ) long and five ( 5) additional ties per side at intermediate locations for manufac- tured homes of fifty feet ( 50' ) or greater length. (iii)All components of the anchoring system must be capable of carrying a force of 2000 pounds for manufactured homes existing on the effective date of these regulations or 4800 pounds for new manufactured homes. ( iv) Any additions to the manufactured home shall be similarly anchored. (e) An existing manufactured home which is damaged or otherwise in need of repair, reconstruction, improvement, or replacement - the value of which meets or exceeds 500 of the value of the manufac- tured home without the repair, reconstruction, improvement or replacement - shall not be repaired, reconstructed, improved or replaced except by a manufactured home which meets the most recent stan- dards promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 24 C.F.R. 3280.308(C) (2) and, in addition, meets the standards set forth in Sec- tions 3 (B) ( 3 ) (b) , 3 (B) ( 3 ) (c) , and 3 (B) ( 3) (d) , of this Ordinance, as applicable. For the purposes of determining the value of any replacement manufac- tures homes under this section, the purchase price, 11 11111 as expressed in an invoice from an arms-length transaction, in a form acceptable to the Building Official, or the value reflected in the current records of the Monroe County Property Appraiser, or using fair market value, as determined in section 9. 5-316(c) of this ordinance. 4. High Hazard Areas (V Zones) . Within the areas of special flood hazard are areas designated as coastal high hazard areas, which have special flood hazards associated with wave wash. The following provisions shall apply in these areas: ( a) All buildings or structures shall be elevated so that the lowest horizontal supporting member (excluding pilings or columns) is located at or above the base flood elevation level, with the space below the . lowest supporting member open or constructed with breakaway walls so as not to im- pede the flow of flood waters. Breakaway walls may be permitted for aesthetic purposes only and must be designed to wash away in the event of abnormal wave action and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 (b) ( 4) (f) , (g) , and (h) , of the Ordi- nance. (b) All buildings or structures shall be securely anchored on pilings, columns, or shear walls. (c) Pilings or columns used as structural support shall be designed and anchored so as to withstand all applied loads of the base flood flow. Where shear wall construction is used, the following conditions shall also apply: (i) Shear walls shall be placed parallel to the predominant flow direction of floodwaters and spaced to provide adequate floodwater conveyance beneath the elevated floor. (ii) Shear walls shall be constructed using reinforced concrete. 12 (iii)Except for the placement of the parallel load-bearing walls, the space between the shear walls below the elevated floor shall remain free of obstruotion gr eglit441 only breakaway wall construction. (d) A registered professional engineer g archi- tect shall develop or review the structural design, specifications and plans for the construction, and shall certify that the design and methods of con- struction to be used are in accordance with the accepted standards of practice for meeting the provisions of paragraphs (a) , (b) and (c) of this subsection. (e) There shall be no fill used as structural support. (f) If any space below the base flood elevation level is to be enclosed, such enclosed areas shall not be used for human habitation. (g) Prior to construction, plans for any structure that will have enclosed space below the base flood elevation level shall be submitted to the Director of Planning, or his designee, for approval. (h) Walls and partitions other than parallel shear walls shall be allowed below the base flood eleva- tion provided they are not part of the structural support of the building and are designed to break away under the impact of abnormally high tides or wind-driven water without damage to the structural integrity of the building on which they are to be used, and provided the following design specifica- tions are met: (i) A design load limit of 10 to 20 pounds per square foot shall be used as the maximum load range at which breakaway walls will col- lapse. 13 (i) Compliance with this provision contained in subsection ( i) shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect. ( j ) Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improvement to a structure shall not enclose the space below the base flood elevation level except as provided for in paragraphs (f) and (h) of this subsection. (k) No man-made alteration of mangroves or beach berm system shall be permitted which will increase the potential for flood damage. 5 . No basement shall be constructed in the County until such time as a variance is granted to the County under the terms of 44 C.F.R. 60. 6(b) . 6. No enclosure below the base flood elevation shall be constructed or equipped for such uses as a kitchen, dining room, family room, recreation room, bedroom, or bathroom. This prohibition does not apply to: new improvements which are neither substantial nor cumula- tive; structures whose initial construction began prior to December 31, 1974; legally placed manufactured homes; those structures which are listed on the National Regis- ter of Historic Places; or the Florida Inventory of Historic Places; and those structures or manufactured homes for which a variance has been granted pursuant to these regulations or any predecessor floodplain manage- ment regulations. 7. In no event shall a below base flood elevation variance be necessary for improvements to an existing structure whose initial construction began prior to December 31, 1974 or to a legally placed manufactured home when the improvements are neither substantial nor cumulative. section ^ 3 . If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or provision of this Ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity. 14 • Section 4 . All ordinances or parts of ordinances in con- flict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict. Section 5. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be included and incorporated in the Code of Ordinances of the County _. of Monroe, Florida, as an addition or amendment thereto, and shall be appropriately renumbered to conform to the uniform num- bering system of the Code. Section 6 . This Ordinance shall take effect when a copy has been accepted by the postal authorities of the Government of the United States for special delivery by registered mail to the Secretary of State, State of Florida.
