[Funding Source: Fund 352, LOST III, Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56101, Project #15EN3252 "Crescent Lake"] |
| BACKGROUND: |
Following the April 2014 storm event, the area of Blue Springs Avenue within the Crescent Lake subdivision suffered significant damage to public infrastructure and private properties. Escambia County responded with the Crescent Lake Dam Project (funded by National Resources Conservation Services), Blue Springs Avenue FEMA repair project, and East Shore Drive FEMA outfall pipe replacements to Crescent Lake.
Given the extent of damage, the Blue Springs Avenue at Clearwater Avenue Drainage Analysis was also completed to identify drainage deficiencies and determine the best alternatives to mitigate future re-occurrence of such drainage impacts. Stormwater attenuation improvements in the upstream basin contributing to the Blue Springs Avenue area were determined necessary in the area of Sun Valley Drive, Glass Drive, and Clearwater Avenue. Potential stormwater improvements for Empire Pit were also referred to Florida Department of Transportation for consideration. The recommended alternative is to maximize the stormwater pond volume, depending upon successful property acquisition.
This parcel, adjacent to Crescent Lake Subdivision, is necessary to accommodate construction of a stormwater management system, for flood reduction, and to improve water quality for Crescent Lake.
Meeting in regular session on March 1, 2018, the Board accepted the counteroffer of $47,000. When the counteroffer was accepted, the parcel was owned by Windell Jones Life Estate and Connie Shirah Hetherington. Since then, the parcel was deeded to Connie Shirah Hetherington, a/k/a Connie Pearl Shirah Hetherington. |
