Civil Engineering Comments:
1. Provide finished floor elevations (FFE) for all buildings on plat, site plan, and grading and drainage plans

See revised site plan review.
2. At the completion of the filling activities and prior to issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy or final
approval, a letter of map revision (LOMR) application must be submitted and approved by FEMA.
We have a obtained a CLOMR approved by FEMA. We also agree to getting an elevation certificate prior
to occupancy. Structures are allowed to be in the floodplain. Unfortunately, we can’t construct this
project on the hope that FEMA will approve our LOMR or approve it in a timely manner. Although, we
fully intend on obtaining it prior to occupancy.
3. Due to the proposed structure being located within the 100-year floodplain, an elevation certificate of the
finished floor elevation must be provided to the Public Works Department at 701 West Markham Street
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Contact Vince Floriani in Public Works at 501-371-
4823 or VFloriani@littlerock.gov to schedule an appointment for issuance or to answer any questions.
