FEMA De-Obligation Resolution
Town Commission Meeting, January 27, 2015
Background: At the January 13, 2015 Commission Meeting Workshop the Commission reached
consensus to place the FEMA De-obligation Resolution on the January 27, 2015 Commission
Meeting for adoption. The Resolution is attached.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Commission adopt the FEMA De-Obligation
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 801
URGING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CLARIFY THE DEOBLIGATION PROCESS OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
DISASTER-RELIEF FUNDS
WHEREAS, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (The Stafford
Act), establishes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities especially
as they pertain to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and FEMA programs;
and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Stafford Act is to provide continued and orderly assistance from
the Federal government to state and local governments to relieve hardship and damage that
result from disasters; and
WHEREAS, the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to obligate funds to states and local governments
to help recover from natural disasters that cause widespread damage to homes, businesses
and critical infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the ability of state and local communities to recover successfully from natural
disaster events is due in large part to its partnership with FEMA and the financial assistance that
it provides under the Stafford Act; and
WHEREAS, it is through this partnership that local governments seek FEMA’s approval to
develop recovery projects that include authorized costs to be reimbursed by FEMA once the
project is completed; and
WHEREAS, FEMA is seeking to de-obligate previously-approved recovery funds from local
governments whenever the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General
decides that FEMA has erroneously obligated funds, regardless of whether the recipient has
already spent the funds in accordance with the grant’s requirements; and
WHEREAS, FEMA’s de-obligation of previously approved recovery funds weakens the intent of
the Stafford Act; and
WHEREAS, Congress enacted Section 705(c) of the Stafford Act, titled "Binding Nature of
Grant Requirements," to protect recipients of disaster assistance from these retroactive deobligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Sewall’s Point, Florida urges the
Federal government to clarify the process whereby FEMA can declare that previously approved
funds distributed to local governments for disaster relief efforts are de-obligated so as to ensure
that the de-obligation process:
1. complies with Section 705(c) of the Stafford Act,
2. includes a reasonable time frame for municipalities to respond to information requests,
and
3. requires FEMA to make timely decisions on appeals filed by municipalities that face the
potential rescission of previously appropriated federal funds.

TINA M. CIECHANOWSKI, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE:
TREASURE COAST MARATHON MARCH 1ST, 2015
Frank Fender, a long-time resident of Sewall’s Point and member of the “Breakfast
Club, a local running group,” hosted a new running race in our area last year entitled
the “Marathon of the Treasure Coast.” The race was very successful and this year the
race is scheduled for March 1st. The races include a full marathon (26.2 miles), a half
marathon (13.1 miles) and a full marathon relay. Several other Sewall’s Point residents
are involved in the planning and execution of this event.
I have reviewed the proposed race maps provided by Mr. Fender for the race.
The runners, regardless of which of the three races they are entered in, will begin at
6:00 a.m. and go south on Indian River Drive/N. Sewall’s Point Road and turn right
(west) onto the A-1-A sidewalk to go over the Evans Crary Bridge. The distance from
Indian Riverside Park to the intersection is approximately 1.7 miles. As such, most of
the runners and walkers should clear our intersection in approximately 30 minutes.
The races then continue into the City of Stuart. When the runners return to Sewall’s
Point, the half marathon runners are proposed to travel North on N. River Road,
around Fieldway, and they exit the subdivision via Indialucie Pkwy, exiting onto N.
Sewall’s Point Road to continue north to Indian Riverside Park. The full marathon
runners will go south on South Sewall’s Point Road to Miramar, where they travel
west to S. River Road. They traverse S. River Road to High Point and then exit the
Town by running north on S. Sewall’s Point Road until they reach SR A1A. Here
they go east, onto Hutchinson Island.
Based upon the experience last year, it is recommended that North Sewall’s Point
Road be restricted to “local traffic only” on the southbound lane from 6:00 a.m. until
9:00 a.m. No other roads in Sewall’s Point will be restricted or closed during this

event. All residents and their guests residing on or off of N. Sewall’s Point Road will
have full access to and from their homes.
Mr. Fender has already provided the Town with a certificate of insurance naming
the Town as additional insured. The benefactors of these races will be local charities.
The Marathon of the Treasure Coast will be responsible for paying an off-duty
officers to direct traffic in locations determined to be necessary by the Police
Department and race organizers. They will have volunteers along the course in
Sewall’s Point to provide direction and keep runners on the sides of the roads. They
have agreed that all areas of the town roads that have been utilized will be policed after
the event to clean up any trash that may have been dropped during the race.
This is a healthy form of entertainment for the community both as runners and
supporters. It should not significantly impact our residents. The race is of relatively
short duration and will be over by early afternoon within the Town. Expenses
incurred by the Town in the form of policing shall be paid by the Marathon of the
Treasure Coast. Any clean-up that may be necessary will be done by the race
officials/volunteers.
It is my recommendation that the Town of Sewall’s Point support Mr. Fender and
the Marathon of the Treasure Coast in this endeavor.

Route Plan – Marathon of the Treasure Coast 2015

March 1, 2015
Route Plan
The Marathon of the Treasure Coast 2015 has designed and permitted a route for a
Half (13.1-mile) and Full (26.2-mile) marathon through Martin County to support
500-1000 athletes. The Full Marathon route is a certified Boston Qualifying route.
The intention is to incorporate and highlight Downtown Stuart, Jensen Beach,
Sewall’s Point, and Hutchinson Island. Last year’s event had a similar design and
was well-received by the community. In fact, a detailed demographic survey was
conducted following last year’s event with a 25% respondent rate. The report from
that study is available at http://bit.ly/TCMsurvey2014.
This document contains detail on traffic flow, safety, and positioning of traffic control
and safety officers at critical intersections along the route.
In general, based on experience from last year’s event, we believe we have
implemented several new aspects to this route plan that will ensure an even
smoother and safer race day experience. Most notably, we have requested an
increase in contracted patrol support, from 11 last year, to 18 local Traffic Control
Officers (TCO) to manage traffic flow at critical intersections.
Specifically, we have modified the route to prevent any runner from crossing the
major intersection of Ocean Blvd and Sewall’s Point Road. To do this, we are
diverting Half Marathon runners away from South Sewall’s Point entirely, and into
the North Sewall’s Point neighborhood of India Lucie. We are also routing Full
Marathon runners counter-clockwise around Hutchinson Island and further reducing
the number of runners on North Sewall’s Point Road. Additionally, we are
proposing a 3-hour block of time, from 6am to 9am on Sunday morning,
March 1, to restrict the southbound lane of North Sewall’s Point Road to
local-traffic only. The Northbound lane will not be impacted. This is a lowtraffic time of day and we are implementing measures to make it more efficient for
officers to identify local residents who might need access during these early hours of
Sunday morning.
This year we are also proposing a route through the Krueger Creek neighborhood in
Stuart, and proposing a 2-hour block of time, from 6:45am to 8:45am on
Sunday morning to leave that road open to local traffic only, on 300-feet of
Hibiscus Street from Oceola Street to Ocean Blvd.
We believe these modifications will have limited impact to the residents, yet increase
safety for the event and community overall.

Route Plan – Marathon of the Treasure Coast 2015
Across all impacted municipalities, we have requested contracted support of 18
local Traffic Control Officers (TCO) to manage traffic flow at critical intersections
along the route, including the two areas open to local-traffic-only as follows:

Sewall’s Point - http://bit.ly/TCMsewallsTCO2015
TCO3 - Intersection of Sewall’s Point Road and SE Ocean Blvd (6.5 hours) 6:00am-12:30 pm
TCO12 - Intersection of Miramar Rd and S Sewall’s Point Road (3 hours) 7:00-10:00 pm
TCO17 - Sewall’s Point and Ocean, backup officer assistance as needed (6.5 hours) 6:00am-12:30pm
Stuart - http://bit.ly/TCMstuartTCO2015
TCO5 - Intersection of Flagler & St. Lucie in front of Green Market (2.5 hours) 6:00-8:30 am
TCO6 - Roundabout at Colorado Avenue and Osceola Street (2.5 hours) 6:00-8:30 am
TCO7 - Intersection of SE Ocean Blvd and Hibiscus Ave, crossing Ocean (3 hours) 6:30-9:30 am

TCO9 - Intersection of SE Ocean Blvd and Martin Avenue, South side - Full (3 hours) 6:30-9:30 am
TCO10 - Intersection of SE Ocean Blvd and SE Monterey Road (3 hours) 6:45-9:45 am
TCO18 - Hibiscus Road (Local Traffic Only Closure), Position at SE Osceola (3 hours) 6:30-9:30 am
A trained lead bicycle will provide additional directional support as a lead runner
escort. In addition, the TCCA (Treasure Coast Cycling Association) will be
supporting the entire route with route trained cyclists for the duration of both races.
We anticipate the fastest runner will complete the 26.2-mile route in roughly three
hours. When all runners pass each part of the route, those sections will be cleared
of all race materials immediately. Regardless, the course will close to runners
entirely at seven hours (1pm) as a sweeper vehicle picks any runners not
anticipated to finish within the seven hour window.
Satellite imagery of the marathon route is available on MapMyRun.com at the links
provided below the diagrams in the next two overview sections of this document.

important element to this Route Plan is that no roads are closed in South Sewall’s Point for the
duration of the event. Designated race volunteers will be positioned at each major intersection
to assist Traffic Control Officers with the flow into, and out of, Sewall’s Point. Full marathon
runners will proceed south on S River Road, loop through High Point, and return north on S
Sewall’s Point Road. Half marathon runners proceed north through the India Lucia
neighborhood to reduce runner congestion at the intersection of E Ocean and Sewall’s Point
Road..

An important feature of the route this year in Sewall’s Point, is that no runner ever
crosses the major intersection of Ocean Blvd and Sewall’s Point Road. Runners will
follow the bike lane and only round the corners of this intersection. All runners will
initially pass this point (mile 3) between 6:15 am and 7am. After 7am, at about
mile 13, only Full Marathon runners will approach this intersection for a second time
and will do so from the bike lane into
South Sewall’s Point. A majority of
Marathon of the Treasure Coast 2015

the runners will come through only once since the Full Marathon registration
numbers are dramatically less than the registration numbers for the Half Marathon
runners. TCO #3 will be used to assist with traffic control from 6:00 am12:30 pm.
17. Sewall’s Point Entrance and Exit
The quarter mile from the intersection of Ocean and Sewall’s Point Road to Miramar Road is an
important segment of the route. In this area, both automobile and runner traffic will flow in both
directions. We will position a traffic control officer, and augment them with designated race
volunteers, at either end of this segment to advise drivers of runners in the roadway. Cars will
be advised to proceed through this area slowly and with caution. TCO #2 will be
positioned at the intersection of Miramar Road and S Sewall’s Point Road to assist with
traffic control and runner safety from 7:00 am-10:00 am.

CHAPTER 58 - FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
ARTICLE I - GENERAL
Sec. 58-1.- Title. These regulations shall be known as the Floodplain Management Ordinance
of the Town of Sewall’s Point, hereinafter referred to as “this ordinance.”
Sec. 58-2.- Scope. The provisions of this ordinance shall apply to all development that is wholly
within or partially within any flood hazard area, including but not limited to the subdivision of land;
filling, grading, and other site improvements and utility installations; construction, alteration,
remodeling, enlargement, improvement, replacement, repair, relocation or demolition of buildings,
structures, and facilities that are exempt from the Florida Building Code; installation or replacement
of tanks; installation of swimming pools; and any other development.
Sec. 58-3.- Purpose. The purposes of this ordinance and the flood load and flood resistant
construction requirements of the Florida Building Code are to establish minimum requirements
to safeguard the public health, safety, and general welfare and to minimize public and private
losses due to flooding through regulation of development in flood hazard areas to:
(1) Minimize unnecessary disruption of commerce, access and public service during times
of flooding;
(2) Require the use of appropriate construction practices in order to prevent or minimize
2
future flood damage;
(3) Manage filling, grading, dredging, mining, paving, excavation, drilling operations, storage
of equipment or materials, and other development which may increase flood damage or
erosion potential;
(4) Manage the alteration of flood hazard areas, watercourses, and shorelines to minimize
the impact of development on the natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain;
(5) Minimize damage to public and private facilities and utilities;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood
hazard areas;
(7) Minimize the need for future expenditure of public funds for flood control projects and
response to and recovery from flood events; and
(8) Meet the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program for community
participation as set forth in the Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 59.22.
Sec. 58-4.- Coordination with the Florida Building Code. This ordinance is intended to be
administered and enforced in conjunction with the Florida Building Code. Where cited, ASCE
24 refers to the edition of the standard that is referenced by the Florida Building Code.

Building Code, as amended by this town, is considered the minimum reasonable for regulatory
purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will
occur. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not
imply that land outside of mapped special flood hazard areas, or that uses permitted within such
flood hazard areas, will be free from flooding or flood damage. The flood hazard areas and base
flood elevations contained in the Flood Insurance Study and shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps
and the requirements of Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 59 and 60 may be
revised by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, requiring this town to revise these
regulations to remain eligible for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. No
guaranty of vested use, existing use, or future use is implied or expressed by compliance with
this ordinance.
Sec. 58-6.- Disclaimer of Liability. This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of the
Town Commission of the Town of Sewall’s Point or by any officer or employee thereof for any
flood damage that results from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully
made thereunder.

rehabilitation will not preclude the building’s continued designation as a historic building and the
variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the building.
11
If the proposed work precludes the building’s continued designation as a historic building, a
variance shall not be granted and the building and any repair, improvement, and rehabilitation
shall be subject to the requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Sec. 58-73.- Considerations for issuance of variances. In reviewing requests for variances,
the Town of Sewall’s Point Commission shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant
factors, all other applicable provisions of the Florida Building Code, this ordinance, and the
following:
(1) The danger that materials and debris may be swept onto other lands resulting in further
injury or damage;
(2) The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
(3) The susceptibility of the proposed development, including contents, to flood damage and
the effect of such damage on current and future owners;
(4) The importance of the services provided by the proposed development to the
community;
(5) The availability of alternate locations for the proposed development that are subject to
lower risk of flooding or erosion;
(6) The compatibility of the proposed development with existing and anticipated
development;
(7) The relationship of the proposed development to the comprehensive plan and floodplain
management program for the area;
(8) The safety of access to the property in times of flooding for ordinary and emergency
vehicles;
(9) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and debris and sediment transport
of the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and
(10)
The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas,
electrical and water systems, streets and bridges.
(11)
In no case may a variance be issued for work that was done without permits and
proper approvals.
Sec. 58-74.- Conditions for issuance of variances. Variances shall be issued only upon:
(1) Submission by the applicant, of a showing of good and sufficient cause that the unique
characteristics of the size, configuration, or topography of the site limit compliance with
any provision of this ordinance or the required elevation standards;
(2) Determination by the Town Commission that:
(a) Failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship due to the
physical characteristics of the land that render the lot undevelopable; increased
costs to satisfy the requirements or inconvenience do not constitute hardship;
(b) The granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, nor create nuisances,
cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws
and ordinances; and
(c) The variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford
12
relief;
(3) Receipt of a signed statement by the applicant that the variance, if granted, shall be
recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the Court in such a manner that it appears in the
chain of title of the affected parcel of land; and
(4) If the request is for a variance to allow construction of the lowest floor of a new building,
or substantial improvement of a building, below the required elevation, a copy in the
record of a written notice from the Floodplain Administrator to the applicant for the
variance, specifying the difference between the base flood elevation and the proposed
elevation of the lowest floor, stating that the cost of federal flood insurance will be
commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced floor elevation (up to
amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage), and stating that construction
below the base flood elevation increases risks to life and property.

reflection.
Sec. 58-138.- Other development in coastal high hazard areas (Zone V). In coastal high
hazard areas, development activities other than buildings and structures shall be permitted only
if also authorized by the appropriate federal, state or local authority; if located outside the
footprint of, and not structurally attached to, buildings and structures; and if analyses prepared
by qualified registered design professionals demonstrate no harmful diversion of floodwaters or
wave runup and wave reflection that would increase damage to adjacent buildings and
structures. Such other development activities include but are not limited to:
(1) Bulkheads, seawalls, retaining walls, revetments, and similar erosion control structures;
(2) Solid fences and privacy walls, and fences prone to trapping debris, unless designed
and constructed to fail under flood conditions less than the design flood or otherwise
function to avoid obstruction of floodwaters; and
(3) On-site sewage treatment and disposal systems defined in 64E-6.002, F.A.C., as filled
systems or mound systems.
Sec. 58-139.- Nonstructural fill in coastal high hazard areas (Zone V). In coastal high
hazard areas:
(1) Minor grading and the placement of minor quantities of nonstructural fill shall be
permitted for landscaping and for drainage purposes under and around buildings.
(2) Nonstructural fill with finished slopes that are steeper than one unit vertical to five units
horizontal shall be permitted only if an analysis prepared by a qualified registered design
professional demonstrates no harmful diversion of floodwaters or wave runup and wave
23
reflection that would increase damage to adjacent buildings and structures.
(3) Where authorized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or applicable
local approval, sand dune construction and restoration of sand dunes under or around
elevated buildings are permitted without additional engineering analysis or certification of
the diversion of floodwater or wave runup and wave reflection if the scale and location of
the dune work is consistent with local beach-dune morphology and the vertical clearance
is maintained between the top of the sand dune and the lowest horizontal structural
member of the building.

26
SECTION 8. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT.
In terms of design, plan application review, construction and inspection of buildings and
structures, the cost impact as an overall average is negligible in regard to the local technical
amendments because all development has been subject to the requirements of the local
floodplain management ordinance adopted for participation in the National Flood Insurance
Program. In terms of lower potential for flood damage, there will be continued savings and
benefits to consumers.
SECTION 9. APPLICABILITY.
