Processing notes

Data provided by FL DCA via the Florida Geographic Data Library was a shapefile containing wind speed lines in

Geographic Coordinates, that were used to create Figures 1609.3(1), 1609.3(2), & 1609.3(3) (Section 1609 Wind Loads).

That data was clipped to the county boundary, and the projection was changed to the county standard, SPC, FL E,

NAD 83. That data was then employed to create this polygon shape file that is used for parcel status identification in

Volusia County’s AMANDA Permitting System. This data is for general planning purposes only and does not

represent a survey.

BASIC WIND SPEED. The basic wind speed in miles per hour, for the development of wind loads.

 

WIND-BORNE DEBRIS REGION. Areas within hurricane prone regions located:

1.     Within 1 mile (1.61 km) of the coastal mean high water line where the ultimate

Design wind speed Vult is 130 mph (58 m/s) or greater; or

2.     In areas where the ultimate design wind speed Vult is 140 mph (63.6 m/s) or greater

 

See Section 1609 Wind Loads for a more complete explanation. Questions about this layer of data

or its ramifications in regards to local construction should be made to the Volusia County
