Beach Ave propertySonya, Thank you very much! Jan Shields ________________________________ From: Doerr, Sonya [mailto:sdoerr@ci.atlantic-beach.fl.us] Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 11:49 AM To: Jan Shields Subject: Beach Ave property Jan- The side setbacks are a combined 15-feet on that property. (this is the case except for corner lots, where the side setbacks are 15-feet from the street side and 5-feet on the other side.) Other than on corner lots, the combined 15-feet can be any distance from either side property line that totals 15-feet, provided neither side setback is less than 5-feet. Setbacks are measured from the property line to the structure. The front and rear setbacks are 20-feet, and on ocean front lots, and the ocean side is considered as the front. Height is measured from the Calculate Average Grade a defined below., On ocean lots and lots that vary greatly in topography, the survey described in the below definition is usually required. On a "flat" lot, the height would be measured from the ground adjacent to the structure. Grade, Calculated Average shall mean the average elevation of a site, calculated prior to excavation, fill or Land balancing. The average elevation of the site shall be determined by superimposing a horizontal grid composed of ten (10) equidistant lines by ten (10) equidistant lines, arranged such that the outer perimeter lines shall be substantially aligned with the exterior Lot lines, over the existing site. At each of the intersections of the lines of the grid, the existing grade elevation shall be determined by a registered Land surveyor using standard practices. The average elevation of the site shall then be determined by adding the one hundred (100) elevations as measured at the points of intersection of the grid together and dividing by one hundred (100). This calculated average elevation shall be used for all determinations of Building heights on that site and shall be recorded in the records of the City. Alternatively, and by mutual concurrence of the property owner and the Building Official, on sites where the existing grade is predominantly flat, with few or no variations of grade, the calculated average grade may be calculated by establishing the elevation at the points of intersection of the exterior Lot lines plus one (1) point at the approximate center of the property. All points measured shall lie on or within the Lot lines of the property. Hope this answers your questions.
