Parkview Flood Plain Update

Subject: Parkview Terrace Meeting

Julie,
Thank you very much for attending our meeting this afternoon, especially on such a last minute request.

It is unfortunate that you were not given the opportunity to make a presentation as I had thought would occur. One question that I think many people are interested in is whether the City will be assessing whether homes are “substantially damaged” in order to qualify for Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage. Would you please let me know whether that will be occurring and on what kind of schedule? I would be happy to pass that information on or to see that any statement that you make is posted on our website.

Thanks again for your help.
Maurine Braddock

And Julie Tallman's reply:

Subject: Parkview Terrace; homes in the 100-year floodplain

Maurine, I am sending you a table of the properties that I have so far identified in the 100-year floodplain. I used two different sources of information and have attempted to be thorough. However, it is possible that FEMA or an independent floodplain delineator might argue that there are additional homes in the 100-year floodplain. If such a determination is made, it will be the property owner’s responsibility to hire a professional surveyor/engineer to provide data on the elevation of the lowest grade surrounding her/his home. This, in other words, is the best assessment I have based on the tools at hand.
