HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
As a result of the April 2014 natural disaster flood event, the City submitted applications via contract consultant (Arcadis) to the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) for public assistance through the State Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). More specifically, an application was submitted to purchase residential properties located at 1104, 1106, 1108, and 1112 East Fisher Street that had been impacted by historical repetitive flooding issues. The application was approved by FDEM and the HMGP grant provides 100% cost reimbursement from the State to the City for the entire project, including the purchase of the properties.
The subject residential properties currently occupy a natural low area that are located within a platted subdivision with historical repetitive flooding issues. The project will consist of purchasing the properties at fair market value and demolishing them to create an area to expand the existing stormwater pond immediately to the south. The expansion of the existing pond will help to alleviate chronic flooding issues in this immediate area by providing more storage volume for stormwater runoff that drains directly to the location. As part of this pond expansion, a portion of Fisher Street (east) will be permanently removed and included in the overall expansion area. Full access from Fisher Street will still remain in place to the remaining residence at the west end of the block.
