RE: Maximum height compliance
Dear Ms. Drysdale,
This letter is in response to a compliance review requested in conjunction with a request for final
inspection of residential addition and/or alteration work originally permitted by Atlantic Beach
Building Permit RAAR 07-00000518, and renewed as RAAR 10-00000203, on property owned by
you and as described below:
Physical Address 1768 Ocean Grove Drive
Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233
Legal Description 20-20 09-2S-29E
OCEAN GROVE UNIT NO 2
LOT 25
Parcel Identification Number 169619-0100
Ordinance 90-07-200, adopted by the City Commission and made effective on July 9, 2007,
amended Section 24-156 of the Land Development Regulations such that the maximum height of
residential structures are limited to thirty-five (35) feet above average calculated grade to the topmost
roof element, exclusive of chimneys. This amendment also precludes the City Commission from
granting any exceptions or waivers of this provision within residential zoning districts.
Upon inspection, it was determined that the railing around the rooftop deck at the above-referenced
property does exceed the maximum allowable height. However, review of the project file revealed
that plans submitted in support of your original building permit application were stamped as
received on April 1, 2007, and the departmental plan review approval sheet was stamped as received
on April 18, 2007.
Therefore, I have made the determination that your structure is in compliance with the Land
Development Regulations, including maximum allowable height, in effect at the time of permitting.
Please retain a copy of this letter for your records, and feel free to contact me if you have additional
questions.
Sincerely fie
Erika Hall
Principal Planner
