● FEMA FLOOD ZONE AE, (EL=11)
Proposed Construction
This Notice of Intent proposal is for the following activities.
Raze and replacement of a single family dwelling unit. No vegetation clearing will occur for the
new dwelling as it is generally in the same location as the existing dwelling. The septic system
will remain in its current location as it is a newer title 5 system.
As the dwelling is within a FEMA flood zone, the dwelling will be flood zone compliant with less
than 12” of fill required to do so. The driveway elevation will remain the same and a portion of
the existing bituminous driveway will be removed and replaced with shells. The building
coverage will be reduced from 1,395 s.f to 1,309 s.f.
Construction methodology
A line of straw wattles will be installed to contain any run off from excavated materials. Roll off
containers will be located on the existing bituminous driveway and will be removed regularly.
Debris will be picked up on a daily basis and the site will remain safe and clean. Furthermore
gutters leading to drywells will be installed.
