| MEMORANDUM
April 13, 2007 Yavapai County Flood Control District Summary of Requirements for Development of APN 404-19-018B (Parcel is within the Floodway of the Verde River) Per the attached Elevation of Floodplain Property completed by Dugan McDonald, RLS and stamped on 2/28/07; the depth of flow across the parcel was determined to be 2.2 feet; therefore the proposed building would need to be elevated 3.2 feet or more above grade. An Arizona Registered Civil Engineer would need to complete a drainage report, site plan and foundation design for the proposed structure in accordance with the Yavapai County Drainage Criteria Manual (Section 4.5). The report need to include the following: No-Rise floodway analysis to demonstrate no changes to the 100-year floodplain water surface elevation or loss of conveyance due to the development. At a minimum, this includes obtaining topographic cross sections and performing hydraulic floodplain modeling. The proposed structure would most likely have to be constructed on piers (open foundation) and be open to flow. Lateral Loading Analysis Impact Loading Analysis Erosion/Scour Hazard Analysis Structural Foundation Design As-Built Survey Flood Insurance would most likely be required and would be recommended for the proposed building. |

| 100 Year Floodway and Flood Fringe data as provided by Yavapai County Flood Control District I drew in blue where I recall the flood to have come up to in 1993. |
| Present Library is slightly less than 5000 Square feet situated on 1.7 acres of land encompassed by the three streets. |
| The Library now pays $ 2,774 yearly in flood insurance which is for $ 5,000 deductible, $ 193,600 on the building and $ 110,300 on the contents. A new building will have higher value and cost more to insure. Quotations for $ 1,000 deductible $ 500,000 on the building and $500,000 on contents from American National Insurance Co comes to $ 18,597 and about $15,000 with $5,000 deductible . The increase in cost because it is much better insurance coverage than we have now. Cost may be reduced with a certified elevation certificate but this gives an initial indication. The Maximum insurance available through the National Flood Insurance Program is $500,000 on the building and $500,000 on the contents even though the building and the contents are valued considerably higher. A New building is valued at 3 to 7 million and contents are valued at 2 million and up as items are added to the collection. New Information: Preliminary Quotation coverage $ 500,000 on building, $ 500,000 on contents $ 1,000 deductible $ 5,000 deductible With No Elevation Certificate base rate with no plans $ 19,395 annually $17,222 annually Elevation Certificate one foot above 100 year flood plain level. $ 9,151 annually $ 8,127 annually - lowest elevation allowable Elevation Certificate three feet above highest adjacent grade . $ 3,848 annually $ 3,420 annually Quotation will change based upon building design, elevation, and price fluctuations - courtesy of Gail Stern, America's Flood Insurance Service Cameron Park, CA |
| FLOOD PLAIN INFORMATION The Current site is located in the floodway of the Verde River should the water rise to the level of the 100 year flood as calculated by flood estimation software used by county flood control. The floodway is the area of the river where water will actually be moving at relative speed in a flood. The flood fringe is the water to the side of the floodway where it is pudlded up but not much motion. To my knowledge the Verde River has never reached the current site. |
| The Current Library Site has going for it that it is the current site. People are used to coming here. It has as its drawbacks a shortage of land for expansion unless the street is realligned as shown. It also is in the floodway of the Verde River. It has never flooded but it makes elevation of a new building and flood insurance a requirement. It is across the street from a yet to be developed park. It is by itself away from other community events although with the park there some park events might partner with the library. Parking is not a formidable challenge on the site. Look at the information on all the sites. Which site(s) provide the best accessability? |
| FEMA Parking Requirements in flood prone areas. Some have suggested parking be placed under the building in this location. This bulletin has technical information of what can be done. In summary FEMA wants below grade parking under a building to be dry in a walled in basement with a built up area "berm" at least one foot above the 100 year flood plain elevation to drive over to keep water out of the parking area.

| 1993 PHOTOS In 1993 the water came up just over the black bridge. Looking at the upper left picture the water level was up to the edge of the bridge and flowing over about a one to two feet wide area at the center of the bridge. In this picture the water level had receded (gone down) by about 7 feet. |
| FEMA has created a web site called FloodSmart which includes information regarding flood insurance. These also give an estimate to get started with. Actual rates require elevation certificate and quotation by an insurance agent who sells a policy from the National Flood Insurance Program.

Flooding is the #1 natural disaster Flood damage is not covered by most homeowners insurance. In high�risk areas, 1 in 4 homes will experience a flood over the course of a 30�year mortgage.

| FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map with more details around present library. The gray area is known as the Flood Fringe. The area in gray with black diagonal crosshatch lines is known as the Floodway. The library property is entirely within the Floodway where water would be moving with some velocity. Will the Verde River ever flood to this level? I don't know, but FEMA predicts the chances are 1 percent every year or 26% over the live of a 30 year mortgage. The numbers along the wiggly lines perpendicular to the direction of flow are the elevation above sea level of the surface of the water during a FEMA predicted 100 year flood. By knowing the elevation of property in the area, the depth of flow can be calculated. (2.2 foot depth average on library property.) Blue shows waters edge in 1993. Red square is location of current library. |
