Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution amends Resolution No. RS2018-1445 to replace two parcels related to the acquisition of flood-prone properties in the Mill Creek, Sorghum Branch, and Whittemore Branch watersheds. The Council previously adopted RS2018-1445 on October 16, 2018 to approve the acquisition and removal of 44 flood-prone properties in this area. The U.S. Army has modified and provided to the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services a design document report listing the specific parcels to be replaced. The U.S. Army and Metro will jointly fund the cost of this project.
432 Cedarvalley Road and 409 Benzing Road would be replaced. Both properties are ineligible for buyout and removal and are considered at a low flood risk. 727 Currey Road and 729 Currey Road would be added to the project, as both present a significant risk of flooding.
