Item 71 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The Council is holding a public hearing on whether to grant floodplain variances for a property at 1812 Clifford Avenue, which sits in the 25-year and 100-year floodplains of Boggy Creek. The variances would clear the way to build a single-family home there, with certain conditions and an expiration date attached. Building in a floodplain raises questions about flood risk and creek safety, so the conditions matter. The item has no fiscal impact.
