<br /> <br /> <br />Susan A. Pope Helman <br />, 3010 Par Drive in Country Club Pointe, advised that they <br />had 18” of salt water and raw sewage after Hurricane Frances and almost 2’ after Hurricane <br />Jeanne. When she contacted the water control district she was told nothing could be done. She <br />advised that this problem had not occurred after previous storms and believed that changes by the <br />water control district, the golf course, and an engineering company doing the Indian River <br />Boulevard project caused these areas to drain into her neighborhood rather than into the drainage <br />system. She asked that these concerns be addressed. <br />Ms. Helman <br /> responded to questions of Commissioners; County Administrator <br />Baird asked Director Davis to address this matter. <br />Public Works Director James Davis advised that Country Club Pointe is an historic <br />flooding area. Former Supervisor of Elections Ann Robinson’s home in that area was flooded <br />repeatedly. He explained Phase Three of Indian River Boulevard when a large culvert was <br />constructed and property was purchased in that area to provide floodplain water storage. The <br />roads in the County Club Village area are at about elevation 3 or 4 and the Indian River staged up <br />to about 7 in some areas due to the recent hurricanes. This was a storm surge issue where the river <br />staged up. It was not fresh water coming from the Indian River Farms Water Control District but <br />simply the river rising and coming up the finger canals and backing up into the homes. This also <br />happened in the 1970s and 1980s. It is a very difficult situation to solve mainly because of the low <br />finish floor elevations. The proper thing to do is to raise the homes up to about 7.5 or 8 feet. We <br />rebuilt the local drainage system last year and replaced pipes under the road and tried to do what <br />we could to provide a secondary drainage system. Some of the residents were upset when we put <br />that system in. The same river staging caused similar problems in Rockridge and other low-lying <br />areas on the barrier island. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested Country Club Pointe’s Homeowners Association <br />could hire an engineer to determine solutions for all the homes in that area. <br /> <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br /> <br />November 2, 2004 <br />20 <br /> <br />
