Agenda 07/22/2008 Item #10BAgenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 1 of 16 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) receive and approve the Progress Report for the Year 2007, Collier County Floodplain Management Plan, Section 7 of the Collier County Hazard Mitigation Plan. OBJECTIVE: To provide the Board of County Commissioners with the third annual progress report on the Collier County Floodplain Management Plan that was developed as a requirement of the County's participation in the Community Rating System of the National Flood Insurance Program. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is a voluntary participant in the Community Rating System (CRS) of the National Flood Insurance Program. Because the County has a Class 7 rating in the CRS program and there are more than ten (10) properties in the County that have filed multiple flood insurance claims within any ten -year period, thus establishing them as Repetitive Loss Properties, the County is required to develop and maintain a Floodplain Management Plan. The purpose of a Floodplain Management Plan is to promote awareness of floodplain and flooding issues, identify known flood hazards, discuss past flooding events, assess the current floodplain/flooding problems, and set goals along with a strategy to make the community more resistant to flooding. One key component is to address ways to mitigate the Repetitive Loss Properties so they no longer are susceptible to flooding from the 1- percent annual chance stone event. Collier County is currently rated as a Class 7 community in the CRS program, which provides up to a 15 percent discount on the premium rates charged to flood insurance policy holders. The County is required to annually provide a progress report on the accomplishments of goals in the Floodplain Management Plan. At least every five (5) years, the Floodplain Management Plan must be updated. For Collier County, the Floodplain Management plan was developed as a portion of the adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan. Therefore, the attached "Progress Report for the Year 2007, Collier County Floodplain Management Plan, Section 7 of the Collier County Hazard Mitigation Plan" (hereafter referenced as REPORT) includes all of the goals of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, but only addresses the goals related to the Floodplain Management Plan. The REPORT contains a list of the five (5) recommendations for action to be accomplished in 2007 and the progress made on each. 1. Floodplain Management Plan Updating 2. Development of New Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) 3. Repetitive Loss Properties 4. Higher Regulatory Standards 5. Watershed Management Plans Additionally, the REPORT contains a list of thirty -three (33) action items to be worked on in 2008. These action items were developed as a part of the updated Floodplain Management Plan that was approved by the Board on 12-11-07. Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 2 of 16 Staff is providing this annual report to keep the Board of County Commissioners informed on progress in floodplain management and seeking recommendations for additional direction and efforts the Commissioners would desire to achieve to make Collier County more resistant to flood damage. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency and is legally sufficient for Board action. -JW FISCAL IMPACT: None, to receive and approve the REPORT. Should future fiscal impact be proposed based upon any new program changes, regulations, resolutions or other methods, that fiscal impact information will be provided at the time the Board receives the follow -up documentation. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners 1. Receive and approve the "Progress Report for the Year 2007, Collier County Floodplain Management Plan, Section 7 of the Collier County Hazard Mitigation Plan "; and 2. Provide the County Manager, or his designee, with direction on accomplishing the thirty - three (33) recommendations for 2007. Prepared by: Robert C.

A copy of the adopting resolution (No. 04 -390) is included as Attachment A to this report. Included within the Hazard Mitigation Plan was the County's Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) which was developed to comply with requirements of the Community Rating System (CRS) of the National Flood Insurance Program. The Floodplain Management Plan is Section 7 of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The entire Hazard Mitigation Plan is available for review at the following locations: Collier County Emergency Management Department 3301 Tamiami Trail East Naples, FL 34112 Attention: RickZyvoloski Collier County Engineering Services Department 2800 North Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104 Attention: Robert Wiley It is also available for review on the County's web page at httn:N collierL,ov .net,'ftp /LMSweb /entry.htm. A Floodplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC) was established by the Board of County Commissioners in 2006. This Committee was formed to further promote the development and implementation of sound floodplain management practices within the County. The Committee consists of ten (10) volunteer members of the public, ten (10) County staff members representing ten (10) key departments involved in activities impacting the floodplain, and one (1) representative from each of the three (3) municipalities. During 2007, the major task of the FMPC was to revise /rewrite the current FMP. The FMPC met sixteen (16) times in regular meetings to discuss floodplain management plan development issues and progress. The FMPC also held ten (10) special information gathering evening meetings in different locations around the County along with two (2) special information gathering meetings for special interest groups and agencies. Michael DeRuntz, a principal planner in the Comprehensive Planning Department, led the work effort. The revised FMP was presented to the Board of County Commissioners and accepted by them as the Collier County Floodplain Management Plan on December 11, 2007. The Community Rating System (CRS) requires the County to annually develop and present a status report on the progress made to the goals, objectives, and action plan of the Floodplain Management Plan. This status report is then submitted as a part of the subsequent year's CRS annual Page 1 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 5 of 16 recertification documentation. County staff has prepared this annual progress report for presentation and review with the FMPC and the Board of County Commissioners. The purpose of the annual progress report is to help ensure that there is a continuing and responsive floodplain management planning and implementation process. Notifications on the availability of this progress report are made through the standard public advertising process for all items on the Board of County Commissioners agenda, of which this Progress Report was included for discussion on July 24, 2007. When an item is placed on the Board agenda, it is available for review and inspection in the Board's office, the Office of the County Manager, and on the County's web site. There is also a public notification process for each meeting of the Floodplain Management Planning Committee, of which this Progress Report was included for discussion on the July 7, 2008 meeting. The many goals and objectives of the Hazard Mitigation Plan are listed below from Section 3 of the document, but this status report will only address those goals and objectives that deal with floodplain management issues. GOALS AND THEIR PROGRESS STATUS GOAL 1 -- Collier County shall make every reasonable effort to reduce the vulnerability and exposure of its residents and guests by protecting lives and property from the effects of natural, man made and technological disasters. Objective 1.1: Maximize the protection of the public's health, safety and welfare from natural, man made and technological disasters. [Collier County is currently working with the City of Naples and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to complete the detailed hydrologic/hydraulic engineering and mapping necessary to develop new flood maps that incorporate rising water (rainfall induced) flooding as well as the coastal surge flooding. By the end of 2007 the computer modeling calibration and verification effort had been completed for five of the seven inland basins plus the coastal model. By late April 2008, the remaining two inland basin models had been approved and the project advanced into development of the one percent annual chance storm event flood elevation results and first -cut draft Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). The projected timeline to complete the new DFIRMs is late 2010. Additionally, the County is an active participant in the Community Rating System of the National Flood Insurance Program to make the community more flood resistant.) Objective 1.2: Reduce the potential loss of personal and public property caused by natural, man made and technological disasters. [County staff continues to work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the South Florida Water Management District, and the City of Naples to develop new and improved Flood Insurance Rate Maps and the accompanying Flood Insurance Study as part of a Community Technical Partners partnership agreement.] Objective 1.2.1: Collier County shall make every effort to reduce the number of repetitive loss properties within its boundary. [The County's only severe _ repetitive loss property was demolished by the new owner, thus reducing Page 2 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 6 of 16 the total number of repetitive loss properties in unincorporated Collier County to thirty -one (31).1 Objective 1.2. 1. 1: Acquire the repetitive loss properties through funding structured for such purposes. [No progress this year.] Objective 1.2.1.2: Elevate the repetitive loss properties through fmancial incentive programs that are developed for such purposes. [None of the repetitive loss property owners expressed any interest to participate in elevating their properties this year. County staff advised several owners of non - repetitive loss properties on the option to elevate their buildings, but none chose to do so.] Objective 1.3: Protect natural resources (such as environmentally sensitive lands and aquifers) in order to maximize their survivability and to safeguard them from damages caused by natural, man made or technological disasters. [The 5 -year review of the Rural Land Stewardship Areas, the amended Land Development Code Well Zone Plan, the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, and the Beach Renourishment Program are all efforts to protect natural resources.] Objective 1.4: Ensure that Collier County's Land Development Code and Ordinances are sufficient to protect public safety and property. [County staff focused on working with the Floodplain Management Planning Committee to prepare a new Floodplain Management Plan and did not make any appreciable progress on developing additional higher regulatory criteria to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance to make development in Collier County more resistant to flood damage. Those revisions will be presented in 2008. The Land Development Code was amended to include a provision to limit the amount of fill pad that can be placed on a building site to 18" above the crown of the road for paved streets and 24" for unpaved streets. The maximum allowable side slope of the fill pad is 1 vertical to 4 horizontal. If flood elevation design requires the building to be higher than that elevation, some other method of construction (e.g. stemwall, pilings, etc.) must be used either independently or in conjunction with the allowable fill placement. This restriction on the amount of fill will help reduce loss of floodplain storage. The second LDC amendment cycle for 2007 included the adoption of interim watershed management regulations into the Land Development Code. These interim regulations included the provision for 150% of the normal water quality treatment volume for new development and redevelopment projects, except public roadway projects defined in the Metropolitan Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan. The second point in the interim regulations requires that loss of storage or conveyance volume resulting from direct impacts to wetlands shall be compensated for by providing an equal amount of storage or conveyance capacity on site and within or adjacent to the impacted wetland. The third point in the interim regulations requires that floodplain storage compensation calculations shall be provided on a case by case basis, based upon Page 3 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 7 of 16 historical flooding and drainage problem area information, as determined by staff. The fourth point in the interim regulations requires that developments in identified areas shall be evaluated to determine impacts to natural wetlands, flowways, or sloughs, and when direct impact is unavoidable, it is to be minimized and compensated for by providing the same conveyance capacity lost by the direct impact. The fifth point in the interim regulations requires all new development and redevelopment projects to be designed so that surrounding properties will not be adversely impacted by the project's influence on stormwater sheet flow up to the 25 -year, 3 -day design storm. This LDC amendment went into effect in March 2008.1 Objective 1.5: Develop and maintain evacuation plans for the safe evacuation of residents from coastal storm surges, inland flooding, terrorist acts, hazardous material incidents and wild land fires. [The State of Florida and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have initiated a new comprehensive state -wide hurricane evacuation study, which is scheduled to be completed in 2009. This forthcoming analysis will update evacuation clearance times, routes, and other data necessary to update evacuation plans.] Objective 1.6: Protect dune systems and coastal /marine resources from the adverse effects of coastal development. [The County applies the criteria within the Land Development Code (LDC) that addresses proposed development along the beach and dune system. Beachfront development is regulated by the provision of the LDC and Growth Management Plan that restricts activities along the County's Coastal Construction Setback Line.] Objective 1.7: Ensure that mitigation measures are adequately addressed in the comprehensive system of coordinated planning, management and land acquisition. [The Community Development and Environmental Services Division is responsible for development and updating the County's Growth Management Plan, reviewing development applications for compliance with the Land Development Code, issuance and inspection of building permits, oversight of the protection of natural resources, and other areas of development and natural resources management. Coordination among the various departments helps ensure that there is a comprehensive effort to incorporate floodplain management mitigation measures into development requests and County environmentally sensitive land acquisition efforts. Additionally, the County's requirement that all state and federal agency permits be obtained prior to any site improvements helps to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations.] Objective 1.8: Encourage land and water uses which are compatible with the protection of environmentally sensitive lands and coastal resources. [The Growth Management Plan specifies a priority of development within the Coastal Area setting a priority ranking for siting of shoreline development and the resultant destruction or disturbance of native vegetative communities for water dependent/water related land uses. This is codified in the Land Development Code Section 3.03.00 Coastal Zone Management Section. Additionally, for all Page 4 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 8 of 16 coastal permits, site plans and variances, there are requirements for replanting any portion of the dune which is void of native vegetation.] Objective 1.9: Prohibit development and other activities which disturb coastal dune systems, and promote the restoration of dune systems that have been damaged. [The County applies the criteria within the Land Development Code (LDC) that addresses proposed development along the beach and dune system. Beachfront development is regulated by the provision of the LDC and Growth Management Plan that restricts activities along the County's Coastal Construction Setback Line and is further addressed in the Section 3.03.06, Native Vegetation Retention on Coastal Barriers in the LDC.] GOAL 2 — The Collier County Emergency Management Department will take a pro- active role in ensuring intra - governmental coordination within Collier County Government and inter- governmental coordination with other government agencies in order to enhance hazard mitigation planning activities. [This goal and objectives are addressed in the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and do not need to be separately addressed in the Floodplain Management Plan progress report.] Objective 2.1: Coordinate state and federal disaster training programs with all government agencies in Collier County. Objective 2.2: Coordinate the essential flow of information before, during and after a disaster. Objective 2.3: Encourage cooperation and participation of all public and private agencies in mitigation planning. Objective 2.4: Ensure that the Collier County Hazard Mitigation Annex to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan incorporates appropriate mitigation measures as reflected in each agency's Emergency Support Function Annex or Standard Operating Procedures. Objective 2.5: Adopt and use the National Incident Management System (NIMS) of Incident Command and the Florida Incident Command System for disaster management. GOAL 3 — Reduce the vulnerability of critical and public facilities from the effects of terrorism, natural, man made and technological disasters. Objective 3.1: Consider designing and installing wind and/or waterproofing components and target hardening for all proposed government owned critical facilities. [. The County is currently installing hurricane protection in a number of buildings located on the Main Government Complex. ] Objective 3.2: Develop and maintain energy, communications and preparedness plans that will be both practical and effective during periods of disrupted energy and communication events. [Not applicable to floodplain management issues.] Page 5 of 13 Agenda Item No. 106 July 22, 2008 Page 9 of 16 Objective 33: Incorporate hazard mitigation measures such as wind/flood proofing and target hardening during any rehabilitation of existing public facilities. [The County has secured a grant and is in the process of hardening a number of government buildings on the Main Government Complex by installing hurricane shutters. This project will be complete by the Fall. Additionally, new water retention ponds have been added on the complex. The County is currently cleaning out storm water pipes and reworking swells.] GOAL 4 — Strengthen Post - Disaster, Recovery and Mitigation Plans. This goal and objectives do not need to be addressed by the F000dplain Management Plan progress report. Objective 4.1: Analyze, review and update Collier County Post - Disaster, Recovery, and Mitigation Plans and Ordinances. Objective 4.2: Work with other federal, state and local government agencies to strengthen post- disaster, recovery, mitigation plans and ordinances. Objective 4.3: Work with other federal, state and local government agencies in post disaster recovery establishing contracts to facilitate timely restoration of public and private infrastructure. GOAL 5 — Improve coordination of disaster preparedness information through the broadcast and print media to increase public awareness and participation in preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation activities. [The "Flood Protection News" is a newsletter publication that has been developed by the County to periodically (typically three times a year) present useful information on floodplain and flood insurance issues. Additionally, the "All Hazards Guide" is a multi -page guidebook annually prepared by the Collier County Emergency Management Department for distribution throughout the County. The "All Hazards Guide" provides useful information on how to prepare, what to do in the event of an emergency, including hurricanes, flooding, tornados, wildfire and how to recover after the emergency.] Objective 5.1: Develop and maintain a comprehensive multi - media, multi - lingual public education program of disaster preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Objective 5.2: Conduct educational programs and research to meet local, state, regional planning, growth management and hazard mitigation needs or concerns. Objective 5.3: Work with media representatives to establish a standardized format for use in dissemination of information to the media during all phases of a disaster. Objective 5.4: Develop and maintain intergovernmental /coordinated information and uniform procedures for public information offices during periods of potential disaster situations. GOAL 6 — Collier County shall make every reasonable effort to protect water resources, unique natural habitats and ecologically sensitive areas such as wetlands and hardwood hammocks, anc Page 6 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 10 of 16 restore, to the maximum extent possible, degraded natural systems to their original state. [The County requires that 25% of native vegetation shall be set aside for preservation for Residential and Mixed Use developments greater than 2.5 acres within the Coastal Zone. This provides a level of protection for the higher more rare coastal vegetative communities as well as storm protection. The County's Conservation Collier Land Acquisition program is actively pursuing the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. To date, the program has spent approximately $63.5 million (an increase of $20 million from the previous year) to acquire fee simple interest in 1,184 acres of environmentally sensitive lands in 16 locations (an increase of 755 acres from the previous year). The County is currently in negotiations to purchase a additional 2,950 acres in 4 additional locations for a new projected total of 4,134 acres in 20 locations for a total approximate cost of $108 million. Within the County's Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code an area of 182,400 acres has been identified as a Rural Land Stewardship Area overlay. Of that acreage, 40,000 acres have been identified as Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA), 31,100 acres for Flowway Stewardship Area (FSA), and 18,200 acres for Water Retention Area (WRA). As of December 31, 2007, there has been a total of 24,126 acres approved as Stewardship Sending Areas (SSA) by the Board of County Commissioners. These areas have been stripped of their development uses with the exception of agricultural and conservation uses.] Objective 6.1: Conserve and protect wetlands and coastal natural features to maintain their economic, aesthetic and recreational values. Objective 6.2: Acquire, retain, manage and inventory public lands to provide conservation and related public benefits. Objective 6.3: Promote the use of agricultural and horticultural practices which are compatible with the protection of natural systems. Objective 6.4: Protect and restore the ecological functions of wetland systems to ensure their long -term environmental, economic and recreational values. Objective 6.5: Protect and enhance water sources, public utilities, wetlands, and natural habitats from potential natural, man made and terrorist acts. ACTION PLAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2007 Floodplain Management Plan Updating — The Floodplain Management Planning Committee worked extensively on a total rewrite of the Floodplain Management Plan with the Board of County Commissioners adopting the rewritten document on 12- 11 -07. Development of New Digital Flood Insurance Rate Mans (DFIRMs) — For several years, the County and the City of Naples have jointly funded the work to complete a new Flood Insurance Study to address flooding from coastal surge and rainfall. This is a major undertaking since all previous FIRMS were prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) using only a coastal surge flood analysis. The area of the study extends from the coast line to the community of Immokalee. In 2007 the study effort progressed through the extensive hydrologic and hydraulic Page 7 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 11 of 16 computer model preparation phase, and enter into the storm production run phase in April 2008. The current schedule projects FEMA completing the public notification process and establishing DFIRMs with an effective date in late 2010. Repetitive Loss Properties — Floodplain management involves actions to make a community more resistant to flood damage. Objectives 1.2.1, 1.2.1.1, and 1.2.1.2 address repetitive loss properties within the National Flood Insurance Program. In 2007 there were thirty -two (32) properties in unincorporated Collier County identified as repetitive loss properties. Of these, one (1), which was the County's only severe repetitive loss structure, was demolished by the new owner, leaving a total of thirty -one (31) repetitive loss properties. The extensive effort to rewrite the Floodplain Management Plan in 2007, did not allow the Floodplain Management Planning Committee time to begin discussions on what the County can do to develop a sufficiently funded program to either purchase repetitive loss properties or provide financial assistance and guidance to owners who are willing to elevate their buildings. The FMPC will discuss the options of developing and implementing such a program during the currently tight fiscal conditions and their recommendations will be brought to the Board of County Commissioners in late 2008. Should the County choose to purchase repetitive loss properties, the future uses for County purposes will vary. Some lots are situated to be able to provide needed temporary stormwater storage and treatment. Some lots are waterfront on saltwater canals. Some lots would be better utilized for rebuilding at the appropriate base flood elevation. In lieu of purchasing all the repetitive loss properties, the County may be better served by establishing a program (e.g. zero interest or very low interest loan) of funding assistance for those owners desiring to elevate their homes, but lacking the financial capability to qualify for federal funding assistance (typically a 25% owner /75% federal funding grant). Hi hg er Regulatory Standards — In 2006 the Board of County Commissioners conducted a workshop and heard staff's recommendations on amending the current Flood Damage Prevention ordinance to add additional criteria that would make buildings more resistant to flood damage. Staff efforts to follow up with a revised ordinance were temporarily delayed while focusing on the work with the Floodplain Management Planning Committee and the Flood Insurance Study. The goal was to reactivate the development of higher regulatory standards into the Flood Damage Protection ordinance during late 2007 and early 2008. This effort was reactivated in mid -2008 and will be reported in the 2008 Annual Progress Report. Watershed Management Plans — As a part of the County's Growth Management Plan 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process with the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), a commitment was made in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element to prepare watershed management plans to address many issues. As a part of that commitment, interim development standards were proposed to address certain floodplain related items (e.g. floodplain compensation, continuity of flow through sloughs and flowway areas, increased water quality treatment, etc.). In 2007 these interim standards became effective upon their approval by the DCA, were incorporated into the Land Development Code, and will remain in effect until the watershed management plans, and their recommendations, are developed and approved for implementation by the Board of County Commissioners. Page 8 of 13 Agenda Item No. 10B July 22, 2008 Page 12 of 16 During 2006 the Board of County Commissioners also approved the initial funding of the watershed management plan development process. In 2007, staff started the process by identifying and prioritizing the watersheds, contracting for the acquisition of new, detailed aerial imagery and topography, developing an organizational tree for the project, contracting with a consultant firm to provide project management and oversight services to guide the process to an effective product. With the ongoing effort by other governmental agencies involved with the Southwest Florida Feasibility Study, and discussions on the startup of development of a statewide water quality rule, the County held off on the initiation of the Request for Proposals process for consultant selection on the detailed watershed modeling. Direction provided by the Southwest Florida Feasibility Study will provide the County with an opportunity to avoid considerable expense from duplication of work effort.
