The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the property will result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property because:
A variance is required for subparagraph (e) due to a conflict with the electrical code for height of electrical panel
above the floor. By code, the uppermost circuit breaker cannot be higher than 6.5' above FIFE. Setting the
bottom of the 200A, 30-circuit panelboard at FPG would result in the uppermost breaker being approximately
7.7' above FIFE. The proposed design sets the bottom of the proposed electrical panel at 3.3' above FIFE or at
an elevation of 747.9'. The electrical panelboard will be above the BFE but not above the FPG. All other
mechanical equipment is located above the FPG or is floodproofed against damages due to inundation.
