Five Monroe County homes will be demolished and rebuilt at the necessary elevation levels.
Monroe County, Florida: $940,973
Project Description
Monroe County will demolish and rebuild five single-family homes that have nine repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss claims. The project will involve demolishing the homes to build new code-compliant, hazard-resistant structures three feet above the Base Flood Elevation or to the elevation set by the local floodplain ordinance, whichever is higher.
All electrical and mechanical equipment outside of the structures will be elevated to the height required by local codes and ordinances. Any enclosed space at grade level shall have hydrostatic vents and be used for storage or parking. The square footage of the newly constructed and elevated homes shall be no more than 10% greater than the original square footage and the new homes will be built in place on open foundation systems with piers and concrete footers.
