<br />JAN 23 '98 02:22PM PLNG DIV OMAHA DIST ACOE <br /> <br />P.2/6 <br /> <br />i ..... <br /> <br />items of work were agreed upon, such as the size of porches and decks, sidewalks, driveways, and land- <br />scaping. <br /> <br />The last step prior to construction was execution of the Corps-Homeowner Agreement. It was very simple <br />with only four requirements: 1) the house must be raised at least 1 foot above the l00-year flood elevation; <br />2) the construction must pass the codes inspection by the city of Goodlettsville (the prevailing code for <br />home conslrUction and improvement); 3) a provision for flow throuah the foundation was required to <br />eliminate hydrostatic pressure; and 4) the homeowner must execute a covenant provided by the Corps and <br />later recorded at the courthouse stating that the space below the new first floor would never be convened <br />into living space. The Corps of Engineers paid the amount of the "offer" after the terms of the agreement <br />were met. A sample agreement is included in Appendix A. <br /> <br />CONSTRUCTION <br /> <br />Description of Homes <br /> <br />All the homes in the program were one-story, brick veneer, in sound structural condition.
