LMS ENDORSEMENT SHELTER RETROFIT PROJECTS Dear Mr. Erikson: As Chairman of the Indian River County Local Mitigation Strategy Working Croup, I would like to offer my support to the submission of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Applications for Shelter Retrofit Projects for Indian River County. As a result of implementing an approved project prioritization methodology, a list of ranked projects was generated and approved by the Indian River County LMS Working Group at its August 18, 1999 meeting. The LMS was formally adopted by Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners on November 16, 1999. One of the approved projects was to seek funding for retrofits to the county's public schools, which serve as public shelters, to reduce vulnerability to winds and flood damage, thereby reducing the county's safe shelter deficit. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me. Sincerely, Douglas -ght, Director Chairman, LMS Working Group cc.

Flood and Ilazmat Considerations: A site plan showing existing elevations was available and established the site to be approximately 24 Feet above MSI, and the first floor elevation to be 27 feet above MSL. The campus is located in a Zone "'X° area according to Flood Insurance bate Map, panel 60 of 169, Map No.12061CO060 E, with an effective date of May 4, 1989. Evidence of flooding or ponding was not apparent. The building and access road are well outside of the Category 5 stoma surge innundation lone as determined by the latest edition on SLOSl3. The HES building is not within (lie Vulnerability Zone of Section 302 facilities. The campus is not located within a ten mile Emergency Planning "Lone of a nuclear facility. Wind and Wind -Related Considerations: Wind hazard types taken into consideration during site inspection include lay -down hazards, roll-over hazards and debris hazards. Hazards in the Corm of light poles and tall trees were noted on the south side of the building designated for use as an IMS. Southern and Western areas are comprised of heavily wooded flat topography offering limited exposure. Northern and Western exposures are also flat with lightly wooded areas. The South and East sides of the campus contained light poles and tall trees which pose a minimal lay down hazard to the classrooms evaluated for use as HES. 'There is limited exposure to large and small wind-borne debris within 300 feet of the facility. The building was designed in accordance with the 1990 SBC Coastal Counties Hurricane Requirements. Building Characteristics: A partial set of structural and architectural plans for this facility was provided for evaluation. A clearly defined continuous load path from foundation to roof is present, Upon site inspection and review of structural plans it was evident that the buildings' exterior walls are constructed of fully reinforced masonry and have no sofispot areas. The plans called for an 8" CMU with a 4" brick veneer wall construction. 5" pipe columns (standard weight) were employed extending from the concrete, steel reinforced footers to top of walls. 36" steel truss girders (48" cic) are attached to bearing points with two 114" full development fillet welds. The roof is flat with a Y overhang and decked with standard corrugated metal decking, 4" lightweight concrete, and a modified bitumen roof covering. Roof design load is calculated to be 52 lbs. per square foot with a net uplift load of 28 lbs per square foot. No areas evaluated had a roof span of more than 38.4 feet. No evidence of ponding or degradation was present on the roof. All drains were clear and free of debris. Windows, of an unknown glass type, comprised 4% of total exterior wall space, No shuttering/protective system was in place for either windows or exterior doors. The stringency ranking of the model building code used during (lie year of the buildings design (1990) according to the Stade of Florida Hurricane Shelter Evaluation Guidelines is a 4 on a scale of 0-4, the most stringent being 4, except that the Coastal Counties requirements make this a marginal design standard. The building was in good condition with no visible signs of damage. Life Safety/Emergency Power: At the time of survey, the building conformed to fire codes. There was an emergency power supply generator on site which powers safcty lights, fire alarms, kitchen equipment, exit lights, freezers and emergency lighting. WO Conclusions; When analyzed using the criteria outlined in the ARC 4496 Least -Risk Decision Matting Guideline Compliance Summary, Fellsmere Elementary School was found to have characteristics which fail under the categories of preferred, marginal and non-compliant. Preferred characteristics of this facility include: The building and its access road are located outside the Category 5 storm surge inundation. • The building and its access road are located outside the 540 -year floodplain (Zone X). • A clearly defined, continuous ioadpath from roof to foundation is present. • The building is in good condition with no apparent signs of deterioration. • The buildings' exterior walls are constructed of fully reinforced masonry. + No evidence of degradation is present on roof. • An Emergency Standby Power Generator exists on site. Marginal characteristics of this facility include: + There is limited exposure to large and small wind-borne debris. The wind design standard used but no apparent flaws were noted. • The building has a flat, lightweight roof system. • Minimal hazards within lay -down range of building. Non-compliant characteristic of this facility include: • The building has unprotected windows and doors that lead into shelter areas. Retrofit Recommendation; T Install shutters or other protective systems on unprotected systems windows to exterior doors to meet the SBC Standard SSTD 12-94 of Dade County version of the South Florida Building Code (Section 2314.1, 2314.5 and 1-2314.4), Minor (Please note that while these minor retrofit recommendations will enhance the integrity of shelter space evaluated they will not increase potential usable shelter square footage.) • Remove potential lay -down hazards. • Remove potential debris hazards. � "v,imw Vi,00a " UFA �~^-ARI—�/ yuK� 'xoou'o �oouoAnEA n'rl | 'v'w°'°' | '-----` , `v.^m=^ / . mu/� ..
