Campbell Avenue. If you are agreeable, please let me know your availability to discuss this situation with Diane Schleicher, City of Tybee Island City Manager, and me. The property owners are John and Sandy Major. The contractor is Brad Slier-man of Coastal Solar Power Company, It has been communicated to me that Mr. Sherman contacted you recently regarding this matter. I denied Mr. Sherman's initial peirnlit application for installation of solar panels on an adjacent dock roof with connection to the single,-family dwelling based on FEMA's 50% rule and Tybee Island's more restrictive 5-year cumulative period. Several permitted projects, including a second floor addition, were permitted at the single-family dwelling. These exhausted 50% of an independent appraiser's depreciated valuie for the structure. A Letter of Permission from the (.�eorgia Coastal Resources Division gave authorization for the solar panels on the dock roof, The LOP stated the purpose of the solar panels was to power two circuits to power a hoist and ceiling fail on the dock, The circuits, hoist and fan have not been installed. Subsequent ernails from: Mr. Sherman discussed the process of applying for "selling electrical power to the grid." I do not know the owners intention in that regard. As th,e electrical generation system was proposed for connection to the dwelling, I researched FEMA regulations and determined it would violate Tybee's 5,-year cumulative period for further improvements, to the structure. Mr. Sherman subsequently re-submitted for a standalone system for the dock only with no attachment to the dwelling. That application was approved and the permit has been available for pickup since May 10t". It has been corrimunicated to me by an involved party that the property owners may opt to not proceed with the project as approved or they are awaiting information from Mr. Sherman for a less powerful system since the generated power would be for the dock only. Excludable items for substantial improvement determinations are provided in Answers to Questions About Substantially Dornoged Buildings, FEMA 213, and the Substantial Improvement/Substantiol Damage Desk Reference, FEMA P-758, Neither source lists a solar electrical generation system attached to the electrical service panel of a, structure as excludable. Utilities and equipment serving a structure must be included when determining a substantial improvement. To further outline for Mr. Sherman that connection to the service panel of the house could not be excluded from the 50% rule, I sent the attached email to him. It includes two FEMA docum!ents, as attachments. From page 21 of the 40- page p -)g arid bolding by me: with highlighth Vill. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT ISSUES A. AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSERS AND SOLAR HEATING ELEMENTS Building coverage extends to the insured building and additions and extensions attached to and in contact with it by means of a common waI1, Air conditioning condensers an SW iii @Ullffil 61111 4,111 1WHIN W111"I"! Condensers are eligible for replacement cost coverage if the structures they service are eligible for it. it compressors, and substation transformers If a generator or other such equipment is attached in accordance with the policy definition or are in a fully-enclosed structure, coverage would apply. If generators and other such equipment not listed in the coverage are in a basement, they are not covered. N Because that document referred to ' "1 ding property" the table on the botto of page 2 of the other attached FEINAA document, NFIP Summary of Coveroge, verified for me that the electrical system of a dwelling is insured under building property coverage. That the proposed system is N FIP insurable demonstrates it is an improvement to a structure and therefore cannot be excluded from the 50% rule. This lengthy email is intended to outline the basis I used to deny connection of the solar/electrical to the dwelling. I'm hopeful it will help guide our conversation during the requested conference call. I am open to any FEMIA information you may provide that Would lead to a different outcome. Dianne K.

I personally called FEMA and talked to the inspector foi- this area. I was told verbally by phone that Diane was wrong in n the way she read the guidelines and that any of the designs would be fine Nvith. him. Tic told nic that the only thing be might suggest would be to put a quick disconnect in the system, He told me that depending on a call he was scheduled to return the next day to someone on Tybee lie would help me witli the issue. It looks like the call fie made yvas Diane Otto or someone with authority to quiet him about this iSSLIc because now lie will not return my calls or entail. 'This is a very ignorant thing to happen and a road block to future renewable energy projects on Tybee. If a city employee does not understand someth YOU Would hope they would know en ,h to ask for help. But dais person, seems more interested I exercising authority than finding solution. I have spoken with 2 lawyer's about this and decided it just isn't worth the effort to pursue but y'all need W know aboLit it. I am too busy building systems and only have time to educate people willing to learn. I have several built projects on Tybee, all are high quality systems and Nye are very proud to show them off to anyone interested. That is what we, (.10 and we will build more on the island in spite of this hurdle, Good luck with Your efforts.

When I reference documents they all clearly state this structure as any detached structure is excluded from the 50% rule and does not say anything about the electrical connections changing it to an attached structure. I am not asking that anyone break rules. I just ask that the scope of this project be understood so the right decision is made. I feel each entity involved wants what is best for Tybee and John and Sandy. I would never do anything nor do I think I could do anything that will cause FEMA to withdraw Support from Tybee in the event of a disaster. I have no desire to do anything but the best work possible. I have demonstrated my dedication for years on and for the City of Tybee to make the island a better more sustainable place to live. Is this the correct document for us to reference? littL)://diii-.ne.gov/floodplain/flood/Desk Rel`crence/Tab-03-Re�-,ional Guidance/50 Rule.i.id It seems very clearly stated in this document that this dock and systems including solar PV is excluded because they are detached from the home. Just like the other detached structures described which are also attached electrically to the house. This solar PV system is connecting to the existing distribution systern at the existing main panel as described for the purpose of offsetting electrical costs of dock system as described. We will add a disconnect, I- 20arnp breaker to existing panel and a ground lug to existing ground rod. The solar cannot supply all power to dock at all times needed. Those circuits need utility grid backup and they were part of existing dock. This is not any different from the way it would be done on a garage or shed which are also excluded from the 50% rule. My confusion and questions arise from having approval from DNR to add the solar system as designed and described to the dock that is already permitted by DNR and the City of Tybee. This document is what I understood was needed to obtain City approval for this project. If the dock cost is excluded as are all detached structures clearly defined in the above referenced document outlining the FEMA 50% rule. (1) Do we even need another permit? (2) Is FEMA so specific in some other document about mechanics of what is detached or might be considered attached because of the electrical systern? If the project is installed according to the LOP from DNR as described and defined in that legal document according to City of Tybee electrical code and is clearly a detached structure as defined in the referenced DNR guidance document then I do not understand how it can be denied?

This document is based on the Standard flood Insurance Policy Dwelling Form, which is used to insure one to four family residential buildings and single family dwelling units in a condominium building. There are two other policy forms: • The General Property Form is used to insure five or more family residential buildings and non-residential buildings. The Residential Condominium Building Association Policy Form is used to insure residential condominium association buildings. While the three forms are similar in many ways, there are diffi rences as well. For example, the General Property Form does not provide coverage for contents in any building other than the insured building, and the Residential Condominium Building Association Policy Form contains a coinsurance clause, which provides for a pro rata reduction in the building claim payment if the building is not insured to 80 percent of its replacement value. The NFJP's Dwelling Form offers coverage for: 1. Building Property, up to $250,000„ and 2. Personal Property (Contents), tip to $100,000. The. NFI P encourages people to purchase both types of coverage. Your mortgage company can require that you purchase a certain arrIOCIM of flood insurance coverage. For information about your specific limits of coverage and! deductibles, refer to the Declarations Page in your flood insurance policy. It's also a good idea to review your policy with your insurance agent or company representative. What is a Flood? Flood insurance covers direct physical loss caused by "flood," In simple ternis, a flood is an excess of water on land that is normally dry. Here's the official definition used by the National Flood Insurance Program. A flood is "A general and temporary condition of partial OY complete illUndation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more 11-ire Important Facts About Your Flood Policy A Standard Flood Insurance Policy is a single-peril (flood) policy That pays for direct physical damage to your insured property up to the replacement cost or Actual Cash Value (ACV) (See "I low Flood Dainages, Are Valued") of the actual damages or the policy Ihnit of liability, whichever is less. 1. Contents coverage must be purchased separately properties (at least one of which is your property) 2. It is not a valued policy. A valued policy pays from: the limit of liability in the event of a total loss. e For example7 Your home is total]), destroyed by a fire and it costs 3150,000 to rebuild. If your Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of policy is a valued policy surface waters from any source; with a $200,000 limit of liability on the building, MudfloNv*; or you would receive $200,000. Mood insurance pays just the replacement cost or ACV of actual Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a damages, up to the policy firnit. lake or similar body of"water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood as defined above." *Mudflow is defined as "A river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of' norurally dry land areas, as wheri cartli is carried by a current of wva ter - , , 3. It is not a guaranteed replacement cost policy. A guaranteed replacement cost policy pays the cost to rebuild ),our home regardless of the limit of liability. For e-\ample: Your home is totally, destroyed by a fire and it costs S200,000 to rebuild. If' yOL11' homeowners insurance policy is a guaranteed replacement cost policy with a S 150,000 limit of liability on the building, YOU would receive $200,000. Flood insurance does riot pay more than the policy limit. Choosing Deductibles Choosing the amount Of your deductibles is an important decision. As with car or homeowners insurance, choosing a higher deductible will lower the premium you pay, but will also reduce your claim payment. You can normally choose different deductibles for Building Property and Personal Property coverage. The deductibles will apply separately to Building Property and Personal Property claims. Your mortgage company can require That your cleduc0ble is no more than a certain amount. Review the Declarations Page in your flood insurance policy for amounts of coverage and deductibles. Talk with your insurance agent, company representative, or lender about raising or lowering deductibles. What is Covered by Flood Insurance — and What"s Not Generally, physical damage to your building or personal property "directly" caused by a flood is covered by your flood insurance policy. For example, damages caused by a sewer backup are covered if the backup is .1 direct result of flooding. However, if The hackup is caused by sorne other problem, (lie damages are not covered. The following charts provide general guidance on items covered and not covered by flood insurance. Refer to your policy for the complete list.

Replacement Cost Value (RCV) is the cost to replace that part of a building that is damaged (without depreciation). lb be eligible, three conditions must be rnet: 1. The building must be a single-family dwelling, and 2. Be your principal residence, meaning you live there at least 80 percent of the year, and 3. Your building coverage is at least 8,0 percent of the full replacement cost of the building, or is the maximum available for the property under the NFIR Special Corisiderati,ons for Multiple Claims Property owners of "severe repetitive loss properties" may be eligibles for a FEMA mitigation grant for property improvements that rcduce th(° litehhood of' future flood damages. Property owners who refuse, the grant money could be required to pay increased flood insurance premiums. A property is defined as a "severe repetitive loss property" when it meets one of these conditions: I. Four or more separate flood claim payments have been made and each claim payment exceeds $5,000, or 2. At least mvo flood claim payments have been made and the cumulative payments exceed the value ofthe property. A final note This document provides general information about flood insurance coverage, 1-Jowever, please be aware that your Standard Flood Insurance Policy, your application, and any endorsements, including the Dec , larations Page, make Up your official contract of insurance. Any differences between this information and your policy wffl be resolved in favor of your policy. If you have questions, call Your insuriiicc agent or company representative. J 9 UzffMJ2MMMK=fiM1 Actual Cash Value (ACV) is Replacement Cost Value at the time of loss, less the value of its physical depreciation. Some building items such as carpeting are always adjusted on an ACV basis. For example, wall-to-wall carpeting could lose between 10-14 percent of its value each year, depending on the quality of the carpeting. This depreciation would be factored in the adjustment. Personal property is always valued at ACV. WHAT IS INCREASED C�OST OF COMPLIANCE (ICC) COVERAGE? Most NFIP policies include ICC coverage, which applies when flood damages are severe. 1CC coverage provides UI) to $30,000 of the cost to elevate, demolish, or relocate your home. If your community declares your home "substantially damage(-]" or "repetitivc,ly darnaged" by a flood, it Nvill require you to bring your home up to current con3munny standards.

Linder this law, a homeowner ri-iay not be denied pert-nission to install a solar collector, clothesline, Or other - energy device based on renewable resources by "any entity granted the power or right in any deed restriction, covenant Or sirnilar binding agreement to approve, forbid, control, or direct alteration of property..." While homeowner cannot be prevented from installing a solar energy system, certain restrictions may be imposed without violating the law. However, those r °estricticbrts n7r.rst be reasonable, not arbitrary, and L11-1if0Tn-ily imposed Orl homeowners in the subdivision. The restrictions cannot act to impair the performance of a solar system or it may be seen as "effectively" prohibiting solar. The law specifically prohibits a community association from preventing the installation of solar collectors on the roof. The association may determine where on the roof the collectors may be installed, so long as the installation is within the area required for its effective operation, that is, south, or east or west of due south. The association is, thereby, limited in imposing requirements which would effectively restrict the system's operating efficiency or increase the installation cost. As such, requirements for screening the system from view, whether by trees or fences, ground - mounting, Or linliting visibility from the street, are contrary to tile spirit and -T M the law if the result impairs the efficiency of tile. Sys tear. There has been some litigation with respect to the applicability of Section 163.04. However, most cases leave been resolved through I'llediation. One such case involved the installation of a solar pool heater On the roof of a home. In this case, the association filed an injunction requesting removal of the rooftop system and instead required that the system be ground - mounted. This change would b have impaired the systern's operating efficiency; and the yard space was uISLIffiCiCut to allow ground mounting. The parties settled, with the homeowner's prevailing on the iSSUC Of T00f mounting. Although the collectors were relocated to a less conspicuous area on the roof, more panels were added to compensate for the loss of system efficiency. Another case dealt with the denial of a residential pool hearing system. This case was decided in favor of the association based on the sole issue of whether Section 163.04 applied to homeowner associations. The court held that the law did riot apply to homeowner associations. Subsectiiently, the law was amended to specifically include actions taken by homeowner associations. More recently, there have been cases decided Under 163,04 that have protected the right of homeowners to install tubular skylights on their residences, including condoininituns and townhorne villas where the devices were installed on common property. In both cases, the homeowners prevailed and the association was required to pay court costs and attorney fees — for themselves and for the prevailing homeowner. The Legislature has made successive amendments to the statute to better state its intent to protect the right of all Floridians to use solar energy to reduce the cost of operating their hornes, while at the same time reducing the state's dependence Oil fossil fuels. The law applies to all actions taken with respect to approval or denial of a solar system, regardless of when the C0111ML1111ty Was instituted or when the association bylaws stay have been aclopted. It is important to seek the approval of a homeowners association prior to the installation of a solar system. Section 163.04 does 1 -1 , 1 f approval if it is required by the governing documents, Florida Statute - Section 163.04 Energy devices based on renewable resources -- (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this cl-tapter or other provision of general or special law, the adoption Of an ordinance by a governing body, as those terms are defined in this chapter, which prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting the installation of solar collectors, clotheslines, or other energy devices based on renewable resources is expressly prohibited. (2) No deed restrictions, covenants, or similar binding agreements running with the land shall prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting; solar collectors, clotheslines, or other 'energy devices based on renewable resources from being installed on luildings erected on the lots or parcels covered by the deed restrictions, covenants, or binding agreements. A property owner may not be denied permission to install solar collectors or other energy devices based on renewable resources by any entity granted the power or right in any deed restriction, covenant, or similar binding agreement to approve, forbid, control, or direct alteration of property with respect to residential dwellings not exceeding three stories in height. For purposes of this subsection, such entity may determine the specific location where solar collectors may be installed on the roof within an orientation to the south or within 450 east or west of due south provided that such determination does not impair the effective operation of the solar collectors. (3) In any litigation .arising under the provisions of this section, the prevailing; party shall be entitled to costs and reasonable attorney's fees. (4) The legislative intent in enacting these provisions is to protect the public healthy safety, and welfare by encouraging the development and use of renewable resources in order to conserve and protect the value of land, buildings, and resources by preventing the adoption of measures which will have the ultimate effect, however unintended, of driving the costs of owning; and operating commercial or residential property beyond the capacity of private owners to maintain.

I am not asking that anyone break rules. I just ask that the scope of this project be understood so the right decision is made. I feel each entity involved wants what is best for Tybee and John and Sandy. I would never do anything nor do I think I could do anything that will cause FEMA to withdraw support from Tybee in the event of a disaster. I have no desire to do anything but the best work possible. I have demonstrated my dedication for years on and for the City of Tybee to make the island a better more sustainable place to live. Is this the correct document for us to reference? littt)://ciiir.iie.go\,/Iloodpla.iii/flood/Desk Reference/Tab-03-Rcglonal Guidance/50_Rulel)(if It semis very clearly stated in this document that this dock and systems including solar PV is excluded because they are detached from the home. Just like the other detached structures described which are also attached electrically to the house. This solar PV systern is connecting to the existing distribution system at the existing main panel as described for the purpose of offsetting electrical costs of dock system as described. We will add a disconnect, I- 20arnp, breaker to existing panel and a ground lug to existing ground rod. The solar cannot supply all power to dock at all times needed. Those circuits need utility grid backup and they were part of existing dock. This is not any different from the way it would be done on a garage or shed which are also excluded from the 50% rule. My confusion and questions arise from having approval fi•orn DNR to add the solar system as designed and described to the dock that is already permitted by DNR and the City of Tybee. This document is what I understood was needed to obtain City approval for this project. If the dock cost is excluded as are all detached structures clearly defined in the above referenced document outlining the FENIA 50% rule. (1) Do we even need another permit'? (2) Is F'EMA so specific in some other document about mechanics ol"what is detached or might be considered attached because of the electrical system? If the project is installed according to the LOP from DNR as described and defined in that legal document according to City of Tybee electrical code and is clearly a detached structure as defined in the referenced DNR guidance document then I do not understand how it can be denied?

It provides general information about deductibles, what is and is not covered by flood insurance, and how items are valued at time of loss, This document is based on the Standard Flood Insurance Policy Dwelling Form, which is used to insure one to four family residential buildings and single family dwelling units in a condominium building. There are two other policy forms: The General Property Form is used to insure five or more family residential buildings and non-residential buildings,, • The Residential Condominium Building Association Policy Form is used to insure residential condominium association buildings. While the three forms are similar in many ways, there are differences as well. For example, the General Property Form does not provide coverage fbr contents in any building, other than the insured building, and the Residential Condominium Building Association Policy Form contains coinsurance clause, which provides for a pro rata reduction in the building claim payment if the building is not insured to 8,0 percent of its replacement value. The NFIP's Dwelling Form offers coverage for: 1. Building Property, up to $150,000, and 2. Personal Property (Contcrits'), Lip to S 100,000."1", lit N lill-I encourages, people to purchase both types of coverage. Your mortgage company can require that YOU Purchase a certain amount of flood insurance coverage. For information about your specific limits of coverage and deductibles, refer to the Declarations Page in your flood insurance policy. It's also a good idea to review your policy with your insurance agent or company representative. RMORNIVERM, Flood insurance covers direct physical loss caused by "flood." in sirnple terms, a flood is an excess of" water on land that is normally dry. frrIcre's the official definition used by the National Flood Insurance Program. A flood is "A gciicral and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or inore acres of iorinally dry land area or of two or more Three Important Facts About Your Flood Policy A Standard Flood Insurance Policy is a single-peril (flood) policy that pays for direct physical darnage to your HISUred property up to the replacernent cost or Actual Cash Value (ACV) (See "How Flood Damages Are Valued") of the actual damages or the policy limit of liability, whichever is less. l.

It is not a guaranteed replacement cost policy. A guaranteed replacement cost policy pays the cost to rebuild your home regardless of the limit of liability. For example: Your pomace. is totally destroyed by a fire and it costs $200,000 to rebuild. If your hounemviiers insurance policy is a guaranteed replacement cost policy with a S 1 50,000 hinit of liability on the building, you would receive $200,000. Mood insurance does not pay more than the policy limit. Choosing Deductibles Choosing the amount of your deductibles is an important decision. As with car or horneowners .insurance, choosing a higher deductible will lower the premium you pay, but will also reduce your claim payment. You can normally choose different deductibles for Building Property and Personal Property coverage. The deductibles will apply separately to Building Property and Personal Property claims. Your mortgage company can require. that your deductible is no more than a certain amount. Review the Declarations Page in your flood insurance policy for amounts of coverage and deductibles. Talk with your Insurance agent, company representative, or lender about raising or lowering deductibles. What is Covered by Flood Insurance — and What's Not Generally, physical damage tea your building or perscmal property "directly" caused by a flood is covered by y(:)ur flood insurance policy. For example, damages caused by a sewer backup are covered if the backup is a direct result of flooding. However, if the backup is caused by some other problem, the damages are not covered, The fbIlowing charts provide general guidance on iterns covered and not covered by flood insurance.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Region VU e. 2323 Grand Boulevard, Suite 900 Kansas City, Missouri 64108-2670 W"111 yr.'raff, ► Pre-FIRM* buildings (structures built prior to December 31, 1974 or the date the Community began participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)) must be elevated if damaged by any cause for which repair costs are 50% or more of the value of the building. This is a "bidden cost" that actually reduces the value of the structure. Most homeowners never know about this until it happens to them. Damages can occur from flooding, wildfire, earthquake, wind, or man. This applies to all buildings in a designated special flood hazard area (100-year floodplain), regardless if the building has flood insurance coverage. The costs to repair must be calculated for full repair to "before-damage" condition, even if the owner elects to do less. The total costs of repair include both structural and finish material and labor. When a Pre-FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) building is proposed to be remodeled, renovated, rehabilitated, added to, or in any way improved, the proposed modifications must be evaluated for "`substantial improvement." If the total costs of improvement are 50% or more of the building value, the building must come into compliance with National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) standards just like "substantial - damage. "' "Total costs" mean all structural costs, as well as all finish materials, built- in appliances, hardware, in addition to profit and overhead. The substantial improvement rule is a hidden potential cost that the buyer needs to recognize. Building value = market value of structure only. Land and exterior improvements, such as swimming pools, pool enclosures, accessory structures, landscaping, paving, fencing, are excluded. Market value = assessed value or property depreciated appraised building value. The assessed value may be adjusted upward to reflect the market more accurately, Replacement cost can only be used if property depreciated. Certified appraisals must be based on the comparable sales method. The land value must be deducted and it must be equal to or greater than that established by the County ,assessor. The building value must be fairly depreciated to reflect the age of the building and the deterioration of building components. FEMA Rqion V11 04121/97 - I - NFIP 50% RULE "H The construction costs to be calculated for both substantial-damage and improvement include both structural and finish or labor and materials. This includes lighting fixtures, built-in appliances, interior moldings, paneling, tiling, wall-to-wall carpet over subflooring, built-in cabinets, etc. The cost to demolish undamaged building components must be established and included. Overhead and profit are also included, but not the cost of permits. Many of the costs are not normally calculated for purposed of a building permit, nor are they regulated as part of the Building Code but, they must be calculated for compliance with the 50% rule. WHO NMAPS ARE REVISED Substantial-damage and substantial improvement can affect Post-FIRM buildings too! If the FIRMs are revised, and the flood elevations increase, many Post-FIRM buildings may be affected. The 50% rule applies to them now as well. So check the FIRMS, find out what flood elevation was in effect when the building was constructed and what it is today. All additions to a Post-FIRM structure MUSt be elevated to or above the current BFE, whether they are "substantial" or not. Substantial-damage and substantial improvement are subject to "cumulative" clauses in many community ordinances, FEMA generally holds that all separate permits for the same Structure within a one (1) to two (2) year period be considered a single improvement and/or repair. This period runs from the date of final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, not from the date the building permit was issued. Some communities require 5, 10, 50 years, or the life of the structure. Check it out first.

Adding on, renovating, or remodeling your home? Here's information YOU need to know about the 50 % Save yourself ,sir me time, aggravation, and money. Please read the following information: SUBSTAN77AL-DAMAGE means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before pre-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50% of the market value or replacement cost of the structure before the damage occurred. (Note: The cost of repairs must include all costs necessary to fully repair the structure to its pre - damaged condition.) SUBSTAN77AL IMPROVEMENT means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure before the "start of construction" of the improvement. If a building is "substantially damaged" or "'substantially improved," it must be brought into compliance with (Community)'s flood damage prevention regulations, including elevating the building to or above the 100 -year flood elevation. (CommuriLty), following National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements, has the responsibility to determine "substantial -damage" and "substantial improvement" and has implemented the following procedures to do so: 11- (Comm- u-m-ity) - will - es, - t - imae—Fair-Marke-Vilu --- e- by --- u s -in --- g the —tax -assessment value of your structure (excluding the land), plus _%. (Example: Structure assessment value (x) 120% =Estimated market value.) If you disagree with this estimate of Market Value, you may hire a state licensed appraiser and submit a comparable property appraisal for the depreciated value of the structure. 2) You must obtain and submit to (Communityl a detailed and complete cost estimate for the additio de o l remoling, recnstruction, o r re p ai r o f all the dama g es sustained b y y o ur h o me, pre pare d a signed by a licensed general contractor. The contractor must sign an affidavit indicating that t cost estimate submitted includes all damages or all improvements to your home, not just structura (See Exhibit I I FEMA Re.-ion V11 04/21197 - 3 - NFIP 50% RULE (Community) will evaluate the cost of improvements or repairs and determine if they are fair, and reasonable. For damage repairs, pre-storm prices and rates will be utilized. The cost of improvements or repairs does not include items not considered a permanent part of the structure (i.e., plans, surveys, permits, sidewalks, pools, screens, sheds, gazebos, fences, etc. See Exhibit 3.) 3) If your home is determined to have " substantial- damage" or is proposed to be "substantially improved", then an Elevation Certificate must be submitted to (Community) to determine the lowest floor elevation. Garages and carports are not considered to be the "lowest floor." 4) If the lowest floor is below the 100-year flood elevation, the building must be elevated to or above that level. Likewise, all electrical and mechanical equipment (heating and cooling, etc.), bathrooms, and laundry rooms must be elevated to or above: the 100-year flood level. Below the flood level, only parking, building access, and limited, incidental storage is allowed, Non- residential buildings may be "floodproofed" instead of being elevated. If the lowest floor, electrical and mechanical, equipment, laundry and bathroom are already above the 100-year flood elevation, the building can be repaired and reconstructed without further modifications. 5) Building plans must be prepared to show how the building is to be elevated. If the structure is located in an A-zone, Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain), or if the building is to be floodproofed, the plans must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or architect.

SC agreement has the same reference to PV as a generator, When solar, is present on the property we have to label the meter as having another source of power generation and that the load side also carries current. Solar PV is a renewably ftieled source of distributed energy generation. Light passes through IaNyers of crvstaline exciting positive and negative electrons that begin floAving and DC electricity is generated. That is the 1st step in operating otir lifestyles today, we ha-%7e -to generate power, distribute or use localIN, the po NA I Te - to operate niechanical systems including M7AC.

Air conditioning condensers and solar heating panels are considered building property even if they are located apart from the structure and are not attached in accordance with the policy definition. Condensers are eligible for replacement cost coverage if the structures they service are eligible for it. Coverage does not apply to other equipment, such as generators, air compressors, and substation transformers owned by the policyholder that may service the building, but are located apart from the structure and are not attached,. If a generator or other such equipment is attached in accordance with the policy definition or are in a fully-enclosed structure, coverage would apply. If generators and other such equipment not listed in the coverage are in a basement, they are not covered. I Bailee Goods are the result of a bailment, which is the delivery of personal property by one person (the bailor) to another (the bailiee) who holds the property for a certain purpose under an express or implied-in-fact contract. Example: When, the bailor takes a pair of shoes to the cobbler (the bailee) for repair, a bailment is established while the bailee has the shoes. The shoes while iin the possession of the bailee are bailee goods. Note: a bailment involves a change in possession but not in title. Real property, by definition can never be bailee goods. In addition, property that is sold (title changes) cannot be bailee goods. Therefore, real property that is sold cannot be bailee goods after the sale or before the sale.

I did not have time to focus on exactly what needed to be done and went in without a clear plan of what we wanted. I saw the permits stamped by Ray ready to go and started the rage and she started running her mouth, saying I had caused all this! Instant full blown fight or flight and I couldn't fight or run' That woman pushed me to beyond rage. She is bad for Tybee! What she put us through is very costly. I do almost everything that is done from start to finish in this business, we are growing and we were doing this project for very little markup. If i more thing were to happen while she is playing games it could really hurt me. The only thing that made this less painful is that the money you gave me covered most of the equipment cost so she was not holding up our needed working capital. In 2 weeks, I can pull together the money to buy the equipment from you. I will find a place for those components. I have to many projects right now that I have bought equipment for and have yet to build, next week is a big build week for us. The inverters you have are wrong for offgrid applications and to charge battery's you only I/P_ the modules. I will finish designing a system, this weekend and have a real cost. I am sorry that I have not called but I simply could not think about it. I sent a letter to Paul this morning outlining how this came about. Diane has slandered me and made it personnel. I can not stand for the things she said to me and Tony last week. It is not about this project anymore. Paul told me to give him a little time. Several people over heard the conversation and he has heard and someone I asked about Diane and told about her comments has emailed Paul in support of me. I do not have a history of controversy, she does. I have been looking at this off and on all day since Sam, enough said for now. Call if you w- ant— to talk but this is where I am right now.

Just getting to my email this week. Diane Otto made this very personal the day Tony and I was in her office, that is why I did not pick up the permit and proceed. I thought we were all working to make this happen but Diane was only interested in us knowing she was not going to allow this project. I am currently talking to an inspector and manager at FEMA they have told me she was out of line using those guidelines as reason to deny this project. Any of all of the revisions should have been fine that the only thing is they might ask for a quick disconnect from the house service panel. Nothing about this would have been a problem to the inspector or would have been out of compliance with NFIP guidelines. The professional thing for the authority at Tybee would have been to call FEMA and have them approve. Tybee does not have a professional in that position and that is a real problem for Tybee. and on top of the unprofessional way she handled the project, what she accused me of was way out of line and the way she berated Tony and I was way out of line. It has nothing to do with this project anymore. This is between me and her and the City of Tybee and as soon as I get what I need in writing next week from FEMA, I will calling Jason for a meeting. I talked to John a couple days ago and told him I would purchase the system in the next couple weeks and we agreed on the settlement. He agreed to taking part of the loss but I am still the loser in this as I have a system in my inventory.

'The flush mount system will be oriented so that the modules are parallel to, and elevated above, the roof surface on which they are mounted. The flush mount modular framing system is designed to be installed with a, photovoltaic module that is composed of a 6063-T5 or better type aluminum frame, having a depth of 0.9'5 to 2.0 inches (24.13 to 51 mm), and a minimum thickness of 0.060 inch (11.52 mm). 3.0 DESCRIPTIJ 3.1 General: The Unirac SolarMountTM (E)volution Flush Mount Modular Framing System is composed of extruded aluminum beams, clips, clamps, attachments, and fasteners which are used to attach an array of photovoltaic panels to a, roof structure. KPRIJI Beams: Beams are used to support the PV modules and are provided in lengths of up to 20 feet and may be cut to other lengths based on, the limitations provided in this report. Beams are formed from either 6005A-T61, • 6061-T6 extruded aluminum. See the figure within Table 3 for a description of thi**&qui. 3.2.2 Flange Attachment: The flange attachment, ,shown in Figure 1 of this report, is a bracket used to connect the beam to the roof structure The flange attachment is composed of the flange bracket and the seismic clip. Both of the flange attachment components, are made from 60015A-T61, 6351-T5, or 60l extruded aluminum. 3.203 Retainer: The retainer, shown in Figure 1, is used to secure the beam to the flange attachment and is also used at beam splices. The retainer is made from 5052-H32 aluminum. Four stainless steel self-drilling screws having a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) diameter are used to connect each retainer to the web of the beam. 12.4 End Clamps: The end Clamp, shown in Figure 1, is a two-component clamp used to connect the end PV module of an array of PV modules to the beam. 'The top component of the clamp is made from 300 series stainless steel. The bottom component of the clamp is made from either 6005A-3611 6351-T5, or 6061-T6 extruded aluminum, A /1f,-inch-diameter (7.94 mm) stainless steel bolt is used with each end clamp to fasten the top component of the clamp to the bottom component. 3'.2,5 Mid Clamp: The mid clamp, shown in Figure 1, is used to connect two adjacent PV modules to the beam. The top component of the clamp is made from 300 series stainless steel. The bottom component of the clamp is made from either 6005A-T61, 6351-T5, or 6061-T6 extruded aluminum. A 'l,6- inch - diameter (7-94 mm) stainless steel bolt is used with each mid clamp to fasten the top component of the clamp to the bottom component, 3.2.6 Beam l End Stop, The beam end stop, shown in Figure 1, is used to limit the movement of the PV module along the beam length. The beam end stop is made from either 6005A-T61, 6351-T5, or 60'61-T6 extruded aluminum. Each beam end stop is attached to the top flange of the beam by using two 1/4-inch-diameter (6,35 mm') stainless steel self - drilling screws. 3.2.7 Bolts and nuts: Stainless steel nuts and bolts used with the end and mid clamps are 5/16--inch diameter 300 :series stainless steel with a minimum tensile strength of 85 ks,i (586 MPa), and have serrations on the underside of the bolt head and on the face of the nuts to provide resistance to loosening.

Box 2891 Tybee Island, GA 31328 AC� SVUD'�VOODWARD I)MLOOK RE: 'Letter of Permission, Installation of Solar Panels on an Existing Per1rditted Private Recreational Dock, 164 South Campbell Avenue, Horsepen Creek, Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia Dear Ms, Major: This Letter of Permission (LOP) is in response to your request dated March 20, 2013 to install solar panels on the existing private recreational dock located at 164 South Campbell Avenue, Horsepen Creek, Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia, The proposed location for the solar panels is on the roof of the permitted structure and is within the foot print of the existing structure, According to your request, the solar panels will be installed on the existing 11 X 14' roof structure and will not result in any new impacts to coastal marshlands, The purpose of the solar panels is to power the two circuits that power the hoist and ceiling fan on the private single - family dock. Tile Department authorizes the Installation as depicted in the submitted description and drawing, All Best Management Practices (BMPs) should be used to prevent any loss of material from entering jurisdictional areas. No equipment, materials, or debris may be placed in disposed of, or stored in jurisdictional areas. Any incidental impacts associated with this project must be rectified by fully restoring areas to their pre-operational topographic and vegetative states. This LOP -is not meant to exempt the above re- ferenced activity from future environmental laws. ------------------ - ----------------- - - ---- ---- ------------------------- - - --------------- -------- - - ---------------- - ------------------- - - - -------- ----------- ------------ ---------- If you have any further questions or concerns in regards to this or any other projects please feel free to contact Deb Barreiro at (912) 2663695.

Air conditioning condensers and solar heating panels are considered building property even if they are located' apart from the structure and are not attached in accordance with the policy definition. Condensers are eligible for replacement cost coverage if the structures they service are eligible for it. Coverage does not apply to other equipment, such as generators, air compressors, and substation transformers owned! by the policyholder that may service the building, but are located apart from the structure and are not attached. If a generator or other such equipment is attached in accordance with the policy defiin,ition or are in a fully-enclosed structure, coverage would apply. If generators and other such equipment not listed in the coverage are in a basement, they are not covered. I Bailee Goods are the result of a bailment, which is the delivery of personal property by one person (the bailor) to another (the bailee) who holds the property for a certain purpose under an express or implied -in -fact contract. Example: When the bailor takes a pair of shoes to the cobbler (the bailee) for repair, a bailment is established while the bailee has the shoes. The shoes while in the possession of the bailee are bailee goods. Note: a bailment involves a change in possession but not in title. Real property, by definition can never be bailee goods. In addition, property that is sold (title changes) cannot be bailee goods. Therefore, real property that is sold cannot be bailee goods after the sale or before the sale. FEMA has determined that non-boathouse parts of a building into which boats are floated are not excluded from coverage. This means that, with respect to a building, a part of which is used for boathouse purposes and a part of which is used for other than boathouse purposes (e.g., residential, commercial, or muniicipaI), non-covered items are limited to the following: 1. The ceiling and roof over the boathouse portion of the building Tinto , which Iboats are floated (unless there is an area above the boathouse used: for purposes unrelated to the boathouse use, e.g., residential, in which case the upper area is covered, from the floor joists, to and including the upper area walls and roof) 2. Floors, walkways, etc., within the boathouse area, or outside the area but pertaining to the boathouse use 3. Exterior walls and doors of the boathouse area not common to the rest of the building SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT ISSUES, VIII-1 REVISED JUNE 2010 Dianne Otto From: Brad Sherman [brad.earthi@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 6:52 PM To: Dianne Otto Cc: Sandy Major; John Major; Tony Petrea Sr, Subject: Major Dock Permit Diane I write this email because I am confused about this issue and each time I ask someone how they have dealt Nvith dock permitting in other places I get another point of view. When I reference docurnents they all clearly state this structure as any detached structure is excluded from the 50'X0 rule and does not say anything about the electrical connections changing it to an attached structure. I am not asking that anyone break rules. I just ask that the scope of this project be understood so the right decision is made. I feel each entity involved wants what is best for Tybee and John and Sandy. I would never do anything nor do I think I could do anything that will cause FEMA to withdraw support from Tybee in the event of a disaster. I have no desire to do anything but the best work possible. I have demonstrated my dedication for years on and for the City of Tybee to make the island a better more sustainable place to live. IS this the COITCct document for us to reference? littl)://diii-.iie.go,v/iloodi,)Iaiii/floo(]/Desk Reference/Tab-03-Regional Guidance/50 RLIkL.Llff It seems very clearly stated in this document that this dock and systems including solar PV is excluded because they are detached from the [ionic. Just like the other detached structures described which are also attached electrically to the house. This solar PV system is connecting to the existing distribution system at the existing main panel as described for the Purpose of offsetting electrical costs of dock system as described. We will add a disconnect, I- 20arnp breaker to existing panel and a ground lug to existing ground rod. The solar cannot supply all power to dock at all times needed. Those circuits need utility grid backup and they were part of existing dock. This is not any different from the way it Would be done on a garage or shed which are also excluded from the 50% rule. My confusion and questions arise from having approval from DNR to add the solar system as designed and described to the dock that is already permitted by DNR and the City of Tybec. This document is what I understood was needed to obtain City approval for this project. If the dock cost is excluded as are all detached structures clearly defined in the above referenced document outlining the FEMA 50% rule. (1) Do we even need another permit? (2) is FEMA so specific ic in some other document about mechanics of what is detached or might be considered attached because of the electrical system? If the project is installed according to the LOP froze I)NR as described and defined in. that legal document according to City of Tybee electrical code and is clearly a detached structure as defined in the referenced DNR guidance document then I do not understand how it can be denied?

The system is going on the dock to supply battery charger and fan with power. They understood, that did not have anything to do with the house value. The dock was permitted with solar and all I needed was to give the city details on the system and structural attachment I know of 2 docks, that have solar charging systems in Midway and in Brunswick so DNR does not have an issue with the solar on the dock roof, please forward me the contact information for the DNR person you talked to, I would like to talk to her as I have quoted anther system on a dock.

I he owner is John& Sandy Major, III probably here from John. I don't see getting past the FEMA issue, but lF it did, I11 have hire get with you for the dock part. Thanks, Dianne K. Otto, CFM City of Tybee Island Planning & Zoning Manager phone 912.472,50731 fax 912.786.9539 Sent: Wednesday, February 27', 2013 8:36 AM To Otto Subject: RE: 164 S. Campbell I believe that the applicant needs to identil"y the purpose for the installation of solar panels. Then staff would look to the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act for guidance on the request, In particular: § 12-5-288. Restriction on granting ol'permits; size restriction; activities and structures considered contrary to public interest (a) if the project is not water rellated or dependent on waterfront access or can be satisfied by the use of an alternative nonmarshiland site, or by use of existing public facilities, a permit usually should not be granted pursuant to Code Section 12'-5-286. Thanks db From: -wit Dotto(&cityoftybee. oM] Sent: Tuesday, February 26,, 2013 2:23 PM To: Deb Barreiro Subject: RE: 164 S. Campbell Ave,. - Me too. Ray said it is a large solar system. Arid the cost is $9,800. I"he drawing shows a new service panel and meter. We concluded that it's got to be for the house. "T"hey are out of money to spend on the house because of the FEMA 50% rule, The solar system on the dock seems to be a way to get around that, but if it is electricity for the house I'm going to have to deny the permit, They have to wait 5 years to do further improve the dwelling. if it is for the house, your thoughts?
