| BACKGROUND: |
Escambia County has a stormwater drainage improvement project in design in the Grande Lagoon Lakes Subdivision area, which is located off Gulf Beach Highway. In response to the storm damage and flooding of April 2014, the county contracted Hatch Mott MacDonald, LLC, to conduct a study to evaluate and provide alternatives to improve the Grande Lagoon Lakes Subdivision drainage system. Hatch Mott MacDonald, LLC, was subsequently contracted to design a stormwater drainage improvement and mitigation project. A final design has been completed, and construction is expected to begin in June 2015, with substantial completion expected in December 2015. Drainage Easements located in various areas (aerial map attached) of the property owned by Grande Lagoon Community Association, Incorporated, are required to facilitate the project. The Association has agreed to donate those easements.
Board approval is required for the Board's acceptance of the donated Drainage Easements. |
