Can we put together the offer? That's what the customer on the other end of the phone line asked me today. He saw the condo on Trulia.
Of course..
And in no time we e-mail the Contract with Addenda for this lovely direct Oceanfront condo unit in Oceans One in Daytona Beach Shores. Best priced unit, and not even on MLS, but we are lucky to know about it. No, we do not represent the Seller in this short sale. We, as usual, are working with buyers.
In a long instruction accompanying the Contract and addenda I suggest that if there are any questions, we are here to answer the phone or the e-mail.
And yes, there is a question: "What the heck is CCCL?" Good question. Short answer is: Coastal Construction Control Line. Coastal Construction Control Line Disclosure requires the Seller to provide the Buyer with a Survey of the property with the CCCL shown on it. So why we put the checkmark at "Buyer waives the right to receive a CCCL affidavit or survey". What does it mean for the Buyer of a condominium unit in a high-rise building?
CCCL is a jurisdictional boundary to provide state control to regulate construction seaward of the Control Line, however this construction requires a special permit from the Department of Environmental Protection and the requirements are more stringent that are accepted in other areas.
CCCL is not only to control themethods and quality of construction. The CCCL program intent is to protect natural environment, control the beachside construction to maintain the stability of the beach - dune system while insuring reasonable use of private property.
"The control line represents the landward limit of the significant damage to upland structures from water forces from a one-hundred year coastal storm. Structures located seaward of the CCCL are expected to be impacted by the high winds and storm surges which accompany such severe storms and therefore should be designed and built to withstand those forces" (THE HOMEOWNER'S GUIDE TO THE COASTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTROL LINE PROGRAM).
The CCCL program came into life in Florida from 1982 to 1991, so there are plenty of houses and condominium buildings, built before that. thhose structures "are deemed as non-permitted structures, and are at an increased risk of sustaining hurricane damage."
So, how is it going to affect our customer? Basically it will not. yes, Oceans One was built in 1974, so it is a so called non-permitted structure. It is there for 35 years, and was tested by Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan in 2004. New buildings are built stronger, new codes are tougher, there are new windows and doors with hurricane-resistance glass...
But these older condos are still standing on the beach, and standing strong.
As for the CCCL Disclosure, our customer is not buying a building, which stands on this imaginary line. He is buying one unit. There is a survey of the building and it is referenced in the Condo Docs.
So, next time you see CCCL when you are thinking of buying anything oceanfront in Daytona Beach area and in Florida in general, you know what that is.
And if you forget, call me 386-405-4408. Of course, first you gotta want to buy something oceanfront (LOL)
