Processing notes

Data provided by FL DCA via the Florida Geographic Data Library were shapefiles 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 appended to create this line shape file. This data is

for general planning purposes only and does not represent a survey.

BASIC WIND SPEED. The basic wind speed contour reflects miles per hour, and is meant for the development of

wind loads.

 

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 Chief Building Official
