Explanation

BACKGROUND:
Based on the park development plan and development concept for the Whittier Peninsula, Burgess and Niple, Inc completed a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) for submission to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Recent mapping by the Army Corps of Engineers placed a substantial portion of the Whittier Peninsula in the 100 year flood plain. This includes, to varying degree, both parkland and redevelopment areas. Burgess and Niple has concluded, through engineering assessments and river modeling within the Scioto River watershed that the fill in the portion of the Whittier slated for redevelopment, will not adversely impact the watershed and meets FEMA criteria. It should be noted that the new parkland development will maintain its flood plain designation and enhance it by actually creating wetlands that will add additional capacity and actual, operable floodplain to the Whittier Peninsula. Additionally, the development and parkland areas will be developed so that storm water run-off from the development will be used to re-charge the park wetlands.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The submission fee is $4,200. This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $4,200 from the Miranova TIF - City Riverfront Vision Account (Ordinance #1578-98), adopted by Columbus City Council on June 29, 1998.
