| BACKGROUND: |
The 2014 April Storm Event resulted in roadway damage and drainage issues along Smith Fish Camp Road (North). Storm debris and sediment accumulation within the County's ditch caused erosion, undercutting of the roadway, and roadway washout. The repair plan (two phases) is to replace the roadway and bridge in the Smith Fish Camp Road Phase and to remove debris and stabilize the banks in the Swamphouse Road Phase. Bridge replacement will be funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Stream bank restoration will be funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). To meet FEMA and NRCS project requirements, we requested the property owner to convey a Drainage Easement, an Access Easement and a Non-exclusive Drainage and Maintenance Easement from Mills Swamp House Marina and RV Park, Inc., to Escambia County.
The owner has agreed to donate the required Easements.
Board approval is required for the acceptance of the Easements. |
