BACKGROUND:
Background
Due to the impacts of Hurricane Milton & Nicole, the City identified a number of homes that were flooded due to one or both of these disasters. Working with our consultant, Pegasus Engineering the City was able to present several homes to the Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) for consideration under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). HMGP is a FEMA funded program that is administered on behalf of FEMA through FDEM.
The existing residential structure at 2890 Blackburn Avenue is in the Theresa Basin drainage basin. The Theresa Basin watershed is classified as a closed (land-locked) drainage basin that has an extensive history of structural and roadway flooding. The property owner requested that the City assist in mitigating future flood events by demolishing the existing home and rebuilding the home at least 1 foot above the base flood elevation. The City upfronted the application cost for this property. The property has now received “approval” by FDEM & FEMA to proceed.
This is a demolishing & rebuilding grant application the maximum funding or Federal Cost $179,140. The City committed to up-front the cost of the approved projects, so long as the resident(s) had secured the cost share funding of $312,571. If/when the resident has secured that match, that match will be provided to the City of Deltona as the grant sub-recipient and Pegasus Engineering will provide Grant Management Services for the applicant on behalf of the City.
