Background Information:
This resolution for Council approval is the first of 15 acquisitions required for the Blanco Riverine CDBG-DR project. The federal acquisition requirements have been met with the appraisal, review appraisal and acceptance by the property owner of the offer.
This property is 3.640 ac. (158,588 SQFT.) located at 1410/1412 River Road. An existing house, foundation and driveway will be demolished with the construction of the project.
The Blanco Riverine Flood Mitigation Project consists of a berm/ floodwall structure located between River Road and the Blanco River to contain flood waters up to the 50-year flood event; thereby preventing the Blanco River from overflowing into the Blanco Gardens neighborhood. The project has achieved environmental clearance with a “Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)” issued in March 2020 and approval by HUD for release of CDBG-DR grant funds for project acquisitions.
The project is currently at the 90% design phase and is anticipated to go to construction
this fall depending on completion of all acquisitions.
