Why is the city commission approving a "tower" that violates at least two city ordinances and the Florida Building Code?

» It is not only possible but remarkably simple to reduce the proposed city hall "tower" entry to a legal two stories and to provide ground level entry to all sections of the building.
» This proposed view of the Key Colony Beach city hall does just that. It uses all of the architectural cues from the CPH design. It reduces the "tower" entry to the legal two stories. It levels the parking lot to allow ground level entry to all sections of the building. It can use the original paint color or any other shade.
» Before you say "base flood elevation," two important facts:

1. FEMA and Florida Building Code allow ground level construction of new commercial buildings as long as they are "floodproofed." We have to do that to the existing building, so why not do it to the nre space as well?
2. The new space already approved by the commission is nearly THREE FEET below the soon-to-be-legal flood level, based on the coming FIRM maps that raise where we measure sea level from and increase the city hall flood zone from AE-7 to AE-8.

» And let's not forget, the ground level entry means no ADA lawsuits.

Per the KCB website, the "100%" drawings will not be available until August 15. Here's the link to the 53MB "90%" engineering drawing file released in July
