Project description and additional project information (attach additional sheets if necessary)
If the value of an addition or alteration to a structure within an area designated as a “special flood hazard” equals or exceeds
50% of the value of the structure before the addition or alteration, the entire structure must be treated as a substantially
improved structure. The following information must be provided if the proposed improvement is within a “special flood
hazard” zone identified by FEMA.
Cost of Improvement (a): $
Market Value of the Building (b): $
Percent of Value Change (a/b): %
Disclaimer: Substantial Improvement Evaluation must be supported by project cost documentation and
approved market evaluation. Attach supporting documentation.
Relocation or Replacement
A relocated structure or a structure being replaced must be treated as new construction.
Quantity of fill placement in floodplain (Detailed Grade and Fill Plan Required) _________ (cubic yards)
List all applicable local, state and federal permits that have been applied for, and indicate whether they were issued,
waived, denied or pending.
List elevation of the structure at the lowest floor of the structure (including basement) at the project’s site to the Mean
Ordinary High Water Mark_________________________.
The Grealish's are proposing to replace their existing concrete bulkhead 1 foot landward of its present
location. The landward location will move the structure to or slightly above ordinary high water. This location
will lessen the impact to the upper intertidal zone and reduce impacts to the floodplain while protecting
the Grealish and neighboring properties. Please see the JARPA for more information.
