RESOLUTION 2007-131 <br /> b. provide interim controls or abatement for lead-based paint hazards for <br /> structures constructed prior to 1978 that will be assisted by the program. The <br /> occupants will be notified of the hazards of lead-based paint, the symptoms <br /> and treatment of lead poisoning, how to avoid poisoning, lead level screening <br /> requirements, and appropriate abatement procedures; <br /> C. meet applicable local zoning requirements, as well as local, state, and federal <br /> housing code requirements for rehabilitation work; <br /> d. leave at least 20% of the original structure based upon the formula provided in <br /> this chapter; <br /> e. not exceed the program costs noted in this document; and <br /> f. be made reasonably accessible to handicapped/elderly occupants, when the <br /> unit is occupied by such. Air conditioners will only be provided when a <br /> member of the household produces a letter from a medical doctor actively <br /> treating this person for a respiratory condition requiring air conditioning. The <br /> letter must state that the person requires the air conditioning for the respiratory <br /> ailments. <br /> g. new construction or substantial improvement of any residential building <br /> located within the 100 year floodplain shall have the lowest floor, elevated no <br /> lower than (1) foot above the base flood elevation (or per local code). Should <br /> solid foundation perimeter walls be used to elevate a structure, openings <br /> sufficient to facilitate the unimpeded movements of flood waters shall be <br /> provided. <br /> B. Structural Integrity <br /> Rehabilitation requires that at least 20% of the original structure remain after construction, based <br /> upon the following formula. Three (3) major components of the house are considered, with each <br /> component weighted to total 100% of the structural value of the house. These components and <br /> ratios are: roof—20%, exterior walls—60%, and flooring system—20%. <br /> This calculation will be performed by the Housing Rehabilitation Specialist. Should significant <br /> deterioration occur between application and time the unit is scheduled for rehabilitation, the unit <br /> will be re-evaluated for continued eligibility and a decision made by the Housing Rehabilitation <br /> Specialist whether to replace it with an alternate unit or to request a change in type of rehabilitation <br /> (demolition, permanent relocation, etc.) in accordance with current DCA contract amendment <br /> requirements. <br /> C. Cost Facility <br /> As an additional means of guarding against program penalties for substantial reconstruction of a <br /> dwelling, the following cost limits are applicable to all rehabilitation areas. These limits are above <br /> the allowable CDBG financing limits, and assume requirements for owner contributions or <br /> leveraging, but must be specifically approved by the Indian River County Commission as <br /> exceeding the described limits. <br /> $50,000 per single family detached house <br /> $30,000 per unit of a two-to-four unit complex <br /> In addition, the cost of rehabilitation and improvements may not exceed the after-rehabilitation <br /> value of the dwelling. For site-built dwellings, the total cost of rehabilitation (plus other <br /> improvements, if any) may not exceed $75.00 per square foot of the dwelling space, excluding <br /> 9 <br />
