Age_ nda Item No. 3 - Comidera~on_ of F~,~I Plat _for _l~_n__~_!~ P~_nt Naut,j~t-et (E.T.J)
Assistant City Engineer Veronica Morgan explained that the subdivision regulations
require that the final plat designate the 100 year flood plain. She further stated that the
100 year flood elevation has not been determined in this area by FEMA and the
application proposed to vary from the subdivision regulations and not determine the
location of the 100 year flood plain.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the final plat and
variance request.
Staff recommended approval of the final plat without the variance.
The applicant, Greg Taggart of Municipal Development Group, 1218 Berkeley,
addressed the Council regarding the plat. He pointed out that signifcant financial
hardship is apparent with respect to engineering costs associated with identifying the 100
year flood plain. Secondly, the Nantucket Subdivision has deed restrictions that require
construction outside the 100 year flood plain. There is a specific minimum finished floor
elevation noted on the final plat which exceeds the 500 year flood plain. Therefore, his
client should not have to pay for an analysis of the 100 year flood plain.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Brown moved approval of the final plat with the variance to exclude the
100 year floodplain line on Lot 3, but requiring the floodplain note on the remainder of
the plat. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Councilman Crouch moved for a substitute motion to approve the final plat without the
variance to all the lots. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mcllhaney. The
motion carried by a vote of 5-2.
