Stoneybrook Flood Assessment
Stoneybrook and Flood Insurance: A Case Study
When Stoneybrook was first developed, lakes were dug to accomplish several things:
-
Comply with the county drainage requirements.
-
Raise the property just high enough (using fill) to be included in a Preferred Flood Zone so lenders don't require a flood policy.
-
Without the fill, Stoneybrook would be in a Special Flood Zone area requiring flood insurance.
How does this affect the Stoneybrook residents?
-
The NFIP is now changing the mapping for many areas in Florida including the west coast.
-
Areas that previously qualified for a Preferred Flood Zone rating will in many cases be reclassified to Special Flood Zone. These areas, for bank purposes, will require flood insurance.
-
At the present time, Stoneybrook at Venice is not in a special flood hazard area, which means flood insurance rates are relatively low and it's a good time to buy a policy.
What did we learn from Katrina?
-
Storms don't care about flood zone labels!
-
Many homeowners were shocked after their loss to realize their flood loss wasn't covered. They didn't think they needed it since they weren't required or told to carry flood insurance.
