Background
The City of Deltona submitted several flood mitigation projects to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, including four properties for potential home elevation. FDEM will fund 75% of the elevation costs, while the property owners must fund the remaining 25%. It warrants mentioning that these homes were damaged by Hurricanes Ian, Nicole & Milton (repetitive damage claims).
This agreement is a reimbursement program with the City of Deltona is the applicant and sub-recipient; the City will need to have funding available to pay for the elevation cost estimate of $1,167,979 and submit for reimbursement draws with FDEM.
Since the application submittal, two property owners have decided to no pursue property mitigation on their homes. Therefore, the overall final project cost is estimated to be less than $1,167,979. Property 1 (Jeanniton Lane) is a home elevation estimated at $450,000 of which the property owner must secure 25% or $112,500, whereby the final total cost of the project to be funded and reimbursed is $337,500. Property 2 (Kumpula Drive) is an acquisition & demolition with an estimated cost of $685,000 of which $171,250 would be paid by the City and not eligible for reimbursement. This property upon acquisition & demolition with the title transferred to the City of Deltona. The property shall remain as vacant land or be used for a future stormwater improvement project. The estimated cost to the City of Deltona for these two projects is $171,250.
