| BACKGROUND: |
New Birth Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc., owns two parcels of property within the area of Moreno Street and "R" Street. These parcels, west of Pace Boulevard, are in a low-lying area that has historically flooded. Following the April 2014, rain event, 10 homes near Moreno Street reported flooding.
Drainage improvements are needed to capture, route, treat, and attenuate stormwater runoff. These low-lying parcels will provide the best location for a stormwater pond, and other improvements completed with this project will reduce flooding of streets, yards, and homes around Moreno, "Q", "R" and "S" Streets.
In coordination with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), amenities around the project stormwater pond area will include a pedestrian walking path, tree canopy shaping and preservation, park benches with concrete pads, lighting upgrades, and pending additional acquisition, a playground.
The existing drainage system on Moreno Street outfalls to the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) drainage system on Pace Boulevard and routes drainage from "T" and "S" Streets. The Moreno Street drainage system is insufficient for stormwater runoff from the 134-acre contributing basin. The 2003 Catholic High Basin Study identified the need for improvements and is consistent with recent reports from owners of roadway, yard, and home flooding.
A pond will provide storage and attenuation of stormwater prior to discharge into FDOT’s Pace Boulevard drainage system. Upon property acquisition, design services will be initiated utilizing Catholic High Basin Study-programmed Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) IV funds.
The County obtained an appraisal for each parcel, with a combined offer amount of $49,200. New Birth Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc., initially countered the offer with a request for $55,000. Since their initial request, they have re-countered with $50,000, which is 1.6% above the appraised value. |
