11/16/2015 Upon FEMA's approval of the new maps, a portion of the project may be located within Zone AE, with a base flood elevation of 10 feet, and may be within a Special Flood Hazard Area. Chapter 41 of the City's municipal code and engineering standards require that new construction and substantial improvements to existing structures be built with the lowest finished floor elevation set at or above the base flood elevation, with a recommendation of setting the lowest finished floor elevation 1 foot above the base flood elevation. Although the project will not be required to consider the updated base flood elevations if construction has started prior to adoption of the FIRM revisions, the owner may still be subject to FEMA flood insurance requirements based on the elevation certificate filed upon completion of the project. It is recommended that the FFE and any floodproofing be designed to accommodate the new base flood elevations, and that the applicant considers implications to future flood insurance requirements. Prior to Encroachment Permit Issuance: 75. For construction activity resulting in a land disturbance of one acre or more, applicant shall file a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board under the Construction Activities Storm Water General Permit (General Permit). The NOI indicates the applicant's intent to comply with the San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program, including a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). 76. Traffic control for lane closures shall conform to the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook; street closures require prior submission of traffic control plans to be approved in advance. 77. If a subterranean garage will necessitate groundwater pumping into the sewer system, a Discharge fee will apply and a Discharge Permit will be required by Silicon Valley Clean Water (SCVW, formerly South Bayside System Authority). 78. The applicant shall obtain an encroachment permit for any shoring which affects the public right of way. No tiebacks shall extend into the public right of way or onto adjacent private properties without the written consent of the City Engineer and/or the private property owner. Any tie-backs within the City's right of way shall be de- tensioned prior to permit sign-off and/or project acceptance. Prior to Commencement of Construction: 79. After the City permits are approved, but before beginning construction, the owner/applicant shall hold a preconstruction conference with Engineering staff and other interested parties. The developer shall arrange for the attendance of the construction manager, contractor, and all subcontractors who are responsible for grading and erosion and sedimentation protection controls. 80. The Applicant shall prepare an Erosion Control Plan subject to City approval and consistent with the San Mateo County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program, as well as Best Management Practices (BMPs) specified by the Redwood City Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Program (Municipal Code Chapter 27A). The Erosion Control Plan and BMPs shall be implemented during construction. The BMPs for construction shall be implemented to protect water quality, in ATTY/RES0.3157/SA RESO 601 MARSHALL APPEAL 8-STORY PROJECT RESO.#15458 REV:11-16-15 VR MUFF#603 Page 17 of 23
