Keating, AICP` `rREFERENCES: FIRM <br />Community Development Department DIS:FEE <br />It is requested that the information herein presented be given <br />formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at <br />their regular meeting of July 5, 1988. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />On June 13, 1988, a public meeting on the revised flood insurance <br />rate maps for Indian River County was held. Conducted by rep- <br />resentatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), <br />the purpose of the meeting was to explain the flood insurance <br />study recently completed for the county and to identify the <br />'procedures involved in final approval of the maps. <br />The flood insurance maps set the minimum elevations for con- <br />struction within flood hazard areas. Although flood insurance <br />maps were prepared when the county first joined the National <br />Flood Insurance Program and these maps have been and are being <br />used for setting minimum floor elevations for construction <br />activity, the new maps are the result of a more detailed flood <br />study. The new maps change minimum elevations in various parts <br />of the county. In some areas the minimum elevations increase, <br />while in other areas the elevations decrease. <br />49 no.
