Aguirre, Project Manager <br /> Page 2 <br /> December 22, 2016 <br /> • All buildings constructed within a coastal high hazard area, (any of the "V" Flood Zones <br /> as delineated on the FIRM), must be elevated on pilings and columns, so that the lowest <br /> horizontal structural member, (excluding the pilings and columns), is elevated to or above <br /> the base flood elevation level. In addition, the posts and pilings foundation and the <br /> structure attached thereto, is anchored to resist flotation, collapse and lateral movement <br /> due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building <br /> components. <br /> • Upon completion of any development that changes existing Special Flood Hazard Areas, <br /> the NFIP directs all participating communities to submit the appropriate hydrologic and <br /> hydraulic data to FEMA for a FIRM revision. In accordance with 44 CFR, Section 65.3, <br /> as soon as practicable, but not later than six months after such data becomes available, a <br /> community shall notify FEMA of the changes by submitting technical data for a flood <br /> map revision. To obtain copies of FEMA's Flood Map Revision Application Packages, <br /> please refer to the FEMA website at http://www.fema.aov/business/nfiT)/forms.shtm. <br /> Please Note: <br /> Many NFIP participating communities have adopted floodplain management building <br /> requirements which are more restrictive than the minimum federal standards described in 44 <br /> CFR. Please contact the local community's floodplain manager for more information on local <br /> floodplain management building requirements. The Stockton floodplain manager can be reached <br /> by calling Ed N. Short, Senior Plans Examiner, at(209) 937-7630. The San Joaquin County <br /> floodplain manager can be reached by calling John Maguire, Engineering Service Manager, at <br /> (209) 468-3144. <br /> If you have any questions or concerns,please do not hesitate to call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Gregor Blackburn, CFM,Branch Chief <br /> Floodplain Management and Insurance Branch <br /> cc: <br /> Ed N.
