DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATING TO FLOOD DAMAGE PROTECTION
City Attorney Reischmann read the title into the record.
Mr. Landon gave a brief summary of the item.
This item was heard under item 10.
Public Comments:
Jack Carall -This ordinance states you will get a decrease in flood insurance and
the people get a decrease in flood insurance. How do you tell the insurance
companies that you are entitled to a decrease in insurance premiums?
Ans: Ms. Bevan - The first question that I heard was about the discount. The way
a discount works for a citizen. The 30% reduction in your flood insurance
City of Palm Coast Created on 4/17/18
premiums are for those properties in a special flood hazard area, which means a
high risk zone. For properties in X Zones are not in a high risk zone, that is
established by Congress. When you get your flood insurance policy it references
your community and with that comes your discount. For any flood insurance, it is
by FEMA. It should be relatively the same for any service provider you go to. The
last question I heard was, which flood plain do I live in. Do I live in a flood plain?
The entire State of Florida is in a flood plain. It is just different degrees of risk.
We encourage our citizens to contact your food plain managers and we actually
have five flood plain managers in the City. We will give you that dtermination to
take to your insurance provider..
CM Nobile - What portion of the city is in the high risk zone? Ans: Ms. Bevan -
With the new maps, we have not calculated that yet.
