| BACKGROUND: |
Following 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), Blue Springs Avenue FEMA repair project, and 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 mitigate future reoccurrence of such drainage impacts. Stormwater attenuation improvements in the upstream basin contributing to the Blue Springs Avenue area were determined necessary in the area of Sun Valley Drive, Glass Drive, and Clearwater Avenue. Potential stormwater improvements for Empire Pit were also referred to FDOT for consideration. The recommended alternative is to maximize the stormwater pond volume, depending upon successful property acquisition.
This parcel, while not part of the Crescent Lake subdivision, is necessary to provide enough space for design/construction of a stormwater management system, to optimize flood reduction, and to improve water quality for Crescent Lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams' property is located at 5535 Sun Valley Drive. Meeting in regular session on October 5, 2017, the Board authorized the staff to accept Mr. and Mrs. Williams' counter offer of $65,500 for the purchase of their property. |
