BACKGROUND:

There are three outfalls located on the east side of Crescent Lake and three on the west side. As a result of the April 2014 storm event, six outfall pipes, headwalls and the areas immediately adjacent were damaged in the Crescent Lake Subdivision. The repair costs for the damage will be submitted to FEMA for reimbursement.

These easements will be utilized to extend one of the six outfall areas beyond the existing headwall location to the lake with a subsurface pipe system that will reduce erosion and provide for sustainability during future similar storm events. The pipe extension will be two 70-feet long, high density polyethylene pipes. This extension has been discussed with the County's Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM - FEMA Division) representative and a revision of the Project Worksheet (PW) was authorized to include this extension as Hazard Mitigation. This revision was also approved by the FEMA Region 4 Representative who visited in February 2016.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for incidental expenses associated with the recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by Escambia County Clerk's Office.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The easements have been approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's office.

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139, Escambia County Code of Ordinances.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Upon Board approval, staff will proceed in compliance with Section 46-139 of the County Code of Ordinances.
