FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received the subgrant application for Monroe County School Board’s Key West High School repair due to damages in Hurricane Irma (DR-4337-FL PW 06303). Pursuant to Executive Order 11988 and 44 CFR Part 9.12, final notice is hereby given of FEMA’s intent to provide funding for this project under the Public Assistance (PA) Program.

An initial disaster-wide Public Notice was published October 6, 2017 for Hurricane Irma. Comments and other information received were fully evaluated by FEMA along with evaluation of social, economic, environmental, and safety considerations. This notice serves as a project-specific final notice for FEMA’s funding action located within the floodplain.

Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements and conditions. This action complies with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements.

Responsible Entity: FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program

Applicant: Monroe County School Board

Project Title(s): PA-04-FL-4337-PW-06303; 14184 - Key West High School Campus Incomplete Work

Location of Proposed Work: 2100 Flagler Ave., Key West, FL 33040 (24.55501, -81.77743)

Floodplain: Project is located in the AE Zone, otherwise known as the Area of 1% Annual Chance of Flooding up to the Base Flood Elevation of 8 FT NAVD, per Monroe County FIRM Panel #12087C1517K dated 2/18/2005.

Proposed Work and Purpose: Monroe County School Board proposes to use FEMA Public Assistance funds to repair roofing elements, drywall, flooring, ceilings, interior light fixtures, windows, sport field appurtenances, fencing, gutters, electrical conduits, handrails, and outdoor light fixtures as a result of Hurricane Irma. The facility acts as a category 1 and 2 hurricane shelter and flood hazard risk to the facility has been minimized by elevating the lowest floor of the buildings above the Base Flood Elevation. Recreational facilities included in this project facilitate open space use, flood hazard minimization measures are not practicable at this time.

Project Alternatives: The alternative that has been considered is the no-action alternative. The no-action alternative is not practicable as the items to be repaired are part of a much larger facility for which relocation would be unfeasible due to excessive cost and lack of non-floodplain property. The school is a critical facility due to its classification as a hurricane shelter and the only high school for the local community. The no-action alternative would have adverse economic and social impacts on the community.

Comments: This will serve as the final public notice regarding the above-described action funded by the FEMA PA program. Interested persons may submit comments, questions, or request a map of this specific project by writing to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region 4, 3003 Chamblee-Tucker Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30341 or by emailing FEMAR4EHP@fema.dhs.gov. Comments should be sent in writing with the subject line FL-4337PW-06303, Monroe County School Board at the above address within 15 days of the date of this notice.
