developed for the Estrella Roadway, whichwill cross the alignment of 115th Avenue, andTwin Buttes Wash approximately 1000 feetdownstream of the subject structure, howeverthere are no improvements proposed thatwould mitigate flooding to the structure or tothe alignment of 115th Avenue.OPTIONSUnder current Maricopa County floodplainregulations the existing structure could not berebuilt if, due to flooding, fire, or some othercatastrophic event, the structure suffereddamages of greater than 50 percent of itsappraised value.

A possible option toaddress the problem is to recommend theproperty be considered for a voluntary acquisitionor on-site relocation program managedby the District. If the home qualifies for theprogram, the homeowner would have theoption of selling their parcel to the Districtand having the structure removed from thesite so that the land could return to its naturalor near natural state or, if there are areas of theparcel outside the floodway and erosion hazardzone, and the homeowner wishes to movetheir home, the homeowner would have theoption of relocating the residence on-site, butoutside the high hazard areas.41
