The monthly Island Strategic Action Committee (ISAC) meeting was held at Seashore Middle Academy on Tuesday Feb, 6.
The committee’s agenda for the meeting consisted of beaches and parks updates, engineering and bond updates, TIRZ #2 updates, island mobility plan updates, and FEMA subcommittee updates.
The major topic of discussion at the meeting was base flood elevation.
“We had to go back and review the base flood elevation so what we did, is we had a set of recommendations that we actually took to city council last month that had to do with infill and the different elevations that you can put in when you’re building an infill lot so that way you don’t flood your neighbors,” Jay Gardner, ISAC Chairman said.
There has to be certain measurements for slopes for building an infill lot.
A couple residents spoje out during the public comment section of the meeting and raised their concerns about their own yards flooding.
