BACKGROUND:

The property owners at 4400 Cedarbrook Drive and 7721 Klondike Road have reported flooding from an over-topping County-maintained pond within Cedarbrook Estates. The pond, located on the northeast property line of 7721 Klondike Road, was originally designed and constructed as a dry pond and has failed in this capacity due to poor percolation rates. The purpose of the project is to install an under-drain and associated outfall in order to facilitate an adequate flow of water out of the pond, restoring its function as a dry pond. These Drainage Easements are needed to complete the project.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

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

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The Drainage Easements have been approved as to form and legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Senior Assistant County Attorney.

PERSONNEL:

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

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

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

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Upon Board approval, staff will have the Drainage Easements recorded in the public records of Escambia County, Florida.
