AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion of the requirement from the Monroe County Remedial
Plan limiting enclosures below Design Flood Elevation to 299 square feet or less.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Monroe County joined the NFIP on June 15, 1973. Over the course of
the next 30 years, the County participated in the NFIP and was subject to Community Assistance
Visits (aka audits)which monitored compliance with the program. The County was found in
violation of the NFIP on multiple occasions and was eventually provided notice by FEMA that it
was placing the County on probation due to consistent violations of NFIP regulations. In order to
regain its good standing in the NFIP, Monroe County agreed to enter into and implement a remedial
plan with FEMA via County Resolution 115-2002 (3/20/02). This plan was revised by County
Resolution 152-2003 (4/16/03)to include a permanent restriction on all enclosed space below
elevated structures to limiting their overall size to 299 square feet or less. Monroe County has been
enforcing this regulation consistently since this period.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: At their regularly scheduled meeting on 3/22/23, the
Monroe County Board of County Commissioners directed Staff to conduct a workshop on the
Updated Floodplain Management Ordinance and be prepared to discuss the changes made.
