The preliminary maps show the lot to have zones AE (EI. 1 1 & 12) sandwiched between two VE zones (EI. 14 to the south and EI. 13 to the north). I prefer that the site plan show the zones as illustrated on the preliminary floodplain maps since the new construction must be built to the requirements of the preliminary maps.

FISCAL IMPACT/BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: • While the current/effective FEMA floodplain map shows that the area of the some 5 -acre lot closest to Texas 82 is in a "C" flood zone, all new construction must comply with the preliminary FEMA map panel that shows the lot to have no "C" zone area with scattered islands of "X" Zone that appears to be completely absent on the lot at issue. The preliminary maps show the lot to have zones AE (EI. 1 1 & 12) sandwiched between two VE zones (EI. 14 to the south and EI. 13 to the north). I prefer that the site plan show the zones as illustrated on the preliminary floodplain maps since the new construction must be built to the requirements of the preliminary maps. Since the AE zone area where construction will take place is adjacent to a VE zone (meaning water velocity zone subject to rising water storm surges) the new construction must be built to VE zone requirements, namely that the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural element must be elevated to 14 feet plus one -foot Free Board requirement which is a minimum of 15 feet above Mean Sea Level. All HVAC equipment must also be elevated to at least 15 feet above MSL. • All elevation above ground grade must use piers engineered to meet the physical demands of the Velocity Zone location. • The site plan submitted for approval to go to P&Z, appears to be the same drawing brought to the Pre -development meeting when we discussed the requirements provided above. Since the cabins are only located on the existing "C -zone" area because the developers stated plan was to elevate the cabins above grade with fill, which is not allowed adjacent to Velocity zones, I'm not sure that the submitted site plan accurately reflects where the proposed structures are actually intended for construction. That is another reason why I'd rather have the site plan show the boundary lines of the Preliminary FEMA maps so that we can be assured where the structures will actually be located and be assured that the appropriate construction requirements are as accurate as possible. Without the zones from the preliminary map, I must require that all structures comply with Velocity Zone construction regulations. • Since the rear of most of the cabins are aligned along the side lot lines, the minimum setback distance is five (5) feet. By using a 5 -foot distance, more space can be allotted to the cabins' frontage on the internal private access streets. It doesn't seem advisable to have a 10 -foot setback to the cabins' rear and only have a 7 -foot setback in the front. • The Fire Marshal must sign -off that the radius -turns on the street curves can accommodate a fire truck. Conversely, the concrete strength and thickness must be able to accommodate a fire truck. Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission table the proposed Site Plan until the above referenced improvements can be made and compliant with City standards/codes.
