SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Variance to allow installation of kiosks for ticket sales below the design flood elevation at City of Clearwater Marina facility for permit application BCP2024-030117.
Body
SUMMARY:
The marina has commercial boats that have been in operation for many years. The marina is in total reconstruction and needs provisions for operations of the commercial boats such as ticket sales in the new construction plans. The design flood elevation would be at an elevation that would not be functional the boat operations. To meet the intent of codes that address construction in flood zones, the marina has written into its operations to remove the ticket sales kiosks to an inland higher location, thus eliminating flood damage. City of Clearwater staff will do the relocation with City equipment.
