subsection (2)(b)3.b of this section, the elevation (in relation to mean sea
level) to which the structure was flood -proofed, and;
Maintain a record of all such information.
10. The public works department shall notify adjacent communities and the state
coordinating office prior to any alteration and relocation of a water course in
riverine situations, and submit copies of such notifications to the administrator of
the Federal Insurance Administration.
1 1. The public works department shall ensure that the flood -carrying capacity within
the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. The velocity of
the base flood must not be adversely altered on any watercourse.
12. The community development department shall require that all manufactured
homes to be placed within Zone A on the FIRM shall be installed using methods
and practices which minimize flood damage. For purposes of this requirement,
manufactured homes must be elevated and anchored to resist floatation, collapse,
or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not to be limited
to, use of over -the -top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in
addition to applicable State and other local anchoring requirements for resisting
wind forces.
(b) Zones A99, AE, A, AH, and AO zone requirements.
All development within zones designated A99, AE, A, AH, and AO on the county
FIRM shall meet all the standards of Zone A requirements set out in section
930.07(2)(a)1. through 12. above.

the county's FIRM:
a. Obtain the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the
lowest structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings and
columns) of all new and substantially improved structures, and whether or
not such structures contain a basement, and;
b. Maintain a record of such information with the community development
director.
All new construction within Zones V1-30, VE, and V on the county's FIRM must
be located landward of the reach of mean high tide.
4. All new construction and substantial improvements in Zones VE and V, if base
flood elevation data is available on the county's FIRM, must be elevated on
pilings and columns so that:

(excluding the pilings and columns) and electrical equipment, heating
equipment, ventilation ec ui nent;._phi nhing ecjuipment,. air _conditi_oning
equipment and other service facilities, including ductvorl:, are +s elevated
to 0.5 feet one half (0.5) -1 Ht or more above the base flood level, and;
b. The pile or column foundation and structure attached thereto must be
anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement due to the
effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building
components. Wind and water loading values shall each have a one percent
chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (one hundred -year
mean recurrence interval);
C, A registered professional engineer or architect shall develop or review the
structural design, specifications, and plans for the construction, and shall
certify that the design and methods of construction to be used are in
accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting the provisions
of a. and b. above.

than ten (10) and no more than twenty (20) pounds per square foot. Use of
breakaway walls which exceed a design safe loading resistance of twenty (20)
pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by local or state
codes) may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or architect
certifies that the designs proposed meet the following conditions:
a. Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than that
which would occur during the base flood, and;
b. The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system
shall not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural damage
due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all
building components (structural and nonstructural). Maximum wind and
water loading values to be used in this determination shall each have one
percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (one
hundred -year mean recurrence interval). Such enclosed space shall be
useable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage.
The use of fill for structural support of buildings within Zones VI -30, VE, and V
on the county's FIRM is prohibited.
Beach dune type fill may be placed beneath the structure provided that the fill
would not enhance erosion on neighboring property and is designed to be
compatible with surrounding topography and does not result in lateral forces for
which the foundation has not been designed.
Manmade alteration of sand dunes and mangrove stands within Zones V1-30, VE
and V on the county's FIRM which would increase potential flood damage is
prohibited.
(d) An equal volume of storage capacity must be created for any volume of the base flood that
would be displaced by fill or structures except for the following instances:
Those development projects within the one hundred -year floodplain along the
Indian River when granted a waiver from the cut and fill balance requirements by
the board of county commissioners. In the one hundred -year floodplain of the
Indian River an equal volume of storage capacity must be created for any volume
of the base flood that would be displaced by fill or structures below elevation four
(4) feet NGVD, or the ten-year flood elevation which has been determined by
FEMA, whichever is greater. The board of county commissioners may, in its
discretion, grant a waiver from the provisions of this subsection upon the
affirmative showing of the applicant, by means of a competent engineering study,
that the development project is situated in an estuarine environment and that the
development project, as designed,, will meet all other requirements of the
stormwater management and flood protection chapter and will not create a
material adverse impact on flood protection on other lands in the estuarine
environment.
