SWIMMERS' ITCH ... what is it?
PIER REGULATIONS ....
CONFUSING???? ... to say the least!!!!
GREAT NEWS!!! ... The CONFUSING pier
grandfathering standards will be modified once again
... simplifying them ... and protecting the ability of
waterfront property owners to place a pier.
Legislation was introduced that seeks to streamline
the permitting process by:
1. Grandfathering all peirs placed before the effective
date of the bill.
2. Allowing new piers to be placed without a permit if
the surface area of the platform does not exceed 200
square feet, with no dimensional requirements or
limits as to where the platform may be located on the
pier.
3. Eliminating the registration requirement.
Watch for more information ... coming soon!

FLOOD PLAIN DESIGNATIONS ON WAPOGASSET & BEAR TRAP ... Call RYAN HANSON (Lake Life Realty & LLR Property Mgmt) for guidance ... 612.875.7502 |
Polk County adopted new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) created by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in September 2011. The maps have not changed
significantly but technology/mapping methods showing details have improved ...
These new maps may have prompted your bank or mortgage
company to send you a letter requiring you to buy flood insurance.
In addition, if/when you should decide to sell your property, you'll want to make sure it won't
be flagged as requiring flood insurance. Flood insurance can cost upwards of $1,000/year ...
$30,000 on a 30 year mortgage!!! The mortgage lender retains the perogative to require
flood insurance as a condition of providing financing.
MANY PROPERTIES AROUND WAPOGASSET & BEAR TRAP
are shown on the FEMA map as being in the floodplain!
Please note: Because of limitations of the map scale, it may not have been
possible for FEMA to show these areas as being outside the SFHA (Special
Flood Hazard Area) and so these areas have been incorrectly included in the
SFHA on the FIRM (flood insurance rate maps).
CHECK YOUR PROPERTY ... MAPS of LAKE WAPOGASSET & BEAR TRAP
showing the floodplain can be found at the right.
If portions of your property show up in a designated floodplain area ... (areas shown with ///
hashmarks) ... and you feel it is in error, FEMA has established administrative procedures to
change the designation of these properties. You will be required to submit a Letter of Map
Amendment (LOMA) with mapping/ survey information to FEMA and request that FEMA issue
a document that officially removes your property and/or structure from the SFHA.
QUESTIONS ... ???
Ryan Hanson (Lake Life Realty & Property Mgmt) can help you through
the process ... give him a call 612.875.7502
