| BACKGROUND: |
Escambia County was awarded a Hazard Mitigation Grant in July 2016 to acquire and demolish residences in the Bristol Park and Ashbury Hill subdivisions along Eleven Mile Creek. After demolition, a design will be developed to increase the Eleven Mile Creek Floodplain to reduce flooding in the area. The Ashbury Hills stormwater pond, owned by Ashbury Hills Homeowners Association, Inc., will be integrated into the floodplain expansion design while still serving as the Ashbury Hills Subdivision stormwater facility.
The stormwater pond will be re-permitted through the state environmental agencies as part of the floodplain expansion project. Purchasing the property from Ashbury Hills Homeowner Association (HOA) allows the County the freedom to incorporate the pond into the project and helps meet the floodplain expansion goals.
On February 16, 2017, the Board approved the Bristol Park Area of Eleven Mile Creek Stream Restoration and Flood Plain Expansion Design, which includes the acquisition of this parcel.
To help with value consideration of this parcel, an appraisal was performed on the parcel, which designated a value of $15,000. There is an ECUA lift station parcel located in the northern half of the subject parcel.
Funds spent toward the purchase of this parcel are not eligible for reimbursement since it is not a parcel identified by the Hazard Mitigation Grant. |
