Flagler County's 1988 control line and commercial concrete in Flagler Beach
FDEP filed the Flagler County Coastal Construction Control Line in 1988, and it crosses the city boundary. The Volusia County line from 1991 touches the south end of the city, so Flagler Beach is where two counties' lines meet. State law keeps it simple. F.S. 161.053 says that once a line is filed, no one builds a structure seaward of it, digs, removes beach material or changes ground elevations except as the statute allows, and that takes an FDEP permit. Roughly 7 percent of the city lies seaward of the line, which runs a few hundred feet inside the city's eastern boundary.
The city's floodplain code asks that site plans show the line, or say the site is seaward of it. Sea turtles have their own article too, Sec. 4.04 of the land development regulations, with lighting standards for new and existing development near the beach. Run any site lighting near the beach past it. Our beachside concrete guide goes deeper, and the commercial concrete service page explains how we run the job once the site is cleared.
Engineering, not Building, runs the driveway: $225 and NGVD elevations
Two desks share the paperwork in Flagler Beach. If you construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish a building or structure, Building wants a permit. Driveways, rights-of-way, floodplain management and flood zone questions go to Engineering, which also keeps the elevation certificates. The driveway permit checklist asks for a site plan or survey with NGVD elevations, the proposed finished floor, spot elevations at the corners and along the side lines, lot coverage, a final grading plan, fill in cubic yards and the surface type: rock, concrete or pavers.
Bring proof of ownership and a Drainage Affidavit too. Fees are $75 for application, $75 for review and $75 for inspection, adding up to $225. If the plan is to match existing grade, the survey can be waived. The checklist is written for driveways, so ask Engineering how it treats a business entrance. State law calls for a recorded Notice of Commencement on improvements over $2,500, and the checklist wants a certified copy, recorded with the Flagler County Clerk in Bunnell, before inspections. If the job needs a permit, we pull it.
