| BACKGROUND: |
During 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), the Blue Springs Avenue FEMA repair project, and the 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 prevent recurrence of such stormwater or drainage impacts. Stormwater attenuation improvements in the upstream basin contributing to the Blue Springs Avenue area were determined to be necessary in the Sun Valley Drive, Glass Drive, and Clearwater Avenue areas. Potential stormwater improvements for Empire Pit were also referred to the Florida Department of Transportation for consideration. The recommendation is to maximize the stormwater pond volume, depending upon successful property acquisition.
This parcel, adjacent to Crescent Lake Subdivision, is adjacent to the previous upstream and downstream parcels purchased in the area. To optimize flood reduction, and improve water quality for Crescent Lake, this purchase is necessary to interconnect and maximize pond volumes.
Meeting in regular session on November 30, 2017, the Board approved the property owner's counteroffer of $41,200 (appraised value $37,500). |
