I. Purpose
The purpose of the meeting was to present the results of the field survey and its affect on
the FHAD and alternatives evaluation.
II.
FHAD Progress
Moser received the additional survey of elevations around the residential homes in March
and has incorporated this information into the FHAD modeling. David discussed the results
and how the floodplain was being modified. Spot elevations from the survey at the corner of
the houses near the border of the floodplain were examined to fine tune the location of the
100-year floodplain around the houses.
The survey also tied the Jenning’s property as-built on Steele Street into the project
mapping. The as-built shows that fill was placed in the flow path which changes the
floodplain in this area. The floodplain was revised in this area to reflect this.
III.
Alternatives Assessment
Teresa recapped the alternatives that are being evaluated. She presented alternatives that
would narrow the floodplain along Hoffman north of 88 th Avenue, removing four houses from
the floodplain. Teresa will look at additional alternatives at this location to see if there is a
more cost effective solution.
Jessica told us that the parcel in the northwest corner of Devonshire Blvd. and McElwain
Blvd. may be an area that we could use for improvements. The owner has contacted the
County several times to see if would like to purchase the property. Teresa will investigate if
