Home My Public Portal AboutMarch 2014Town of Gulf Stream March 2014 Newsletter Dear Gulf Stream Residents, UNDERGROUNDING UPDATES!! The Undergrounding Project Phase I is underway after lengthy delays due to Florida Power and Light. Phase I is from Golfview Road south to Pelican Lane. Phase II will be going north from Golfview Road to County Road. It is estimated to be a 2 year project. Please be patient and have a clear vision of how beautiful our town will look once the project is complete. Additional Improvements The Civic Association and the Town Commission have worked together to give the Town of Gulf Stream a much needed face lift. New street signs have been installed and new street lights to match will be added. Please note that a "sample" light is up next to the Police station for your viewing. The Civic Association has also donated a large screen television for presentations in the Town meetings. This will allow the public to have a view of all site plan reviews, landscape designs and any future land development in the Town meetings. All residents are encouraged to come and participate in the Town meetings. Police Reminder The Police Department would like to remind all residents to remove valuables from cars and lock the doors. We have had several incidents of unlocked cars being entered and contents being strewn around the interior. /wu GOLFVIEW RD ,mxQuinm w GOLF ,ne x ovn eoasvrm sect x °�" eouerum COURSE m ,>m x air ssusvrm xm x�oQ.w�mu vwm < tw x own wiuvxo sasn mrnc cwi ,em x s¢w suatvrm um x aaw euuvro ,m x s¢w suuvnm Bomar a ousma an x soul so.avrm �6 Z w ,sn x soix soawrm q usn o�u mooMr CNORTH RD IV x sort enuvnm seo x s�.x ssucvxo 3 sw s¢rx wuaum ssss x soix wevro y tN10ff/n 4MEV.w Fa tM x OQrI ®ALVNm S{x x Off/11 BMEVNO " ,sn x OQnll BnsLvru Oa SOUTI I RD rns x amx ssutvra 2 U $ tm x a¢ir easavw (jamVIHIARBOR ,m x o¢.w euuvxm GOLF ,sr x sow sus[vrm COURSE swi x soir ssu>:vim 6 f4111L FPL MAIN LINE PIPE INSTALLATION FEB. 27, 2014 UNDERGROUNDING PROJECr GEORGE BUSH u��_r S ran ttl�s Additional Improvements The Civic Association and the Town Commission have worked together to give the Town of Gulf Stream a much needed face lift.

March 2014 Newsletter Page 2 Flood Insurance Everyone has some risk of flooding no matter where your property is located. Did you know that there is a 26% chance of experiencing a flood during the life of a 30 -year mortgage or that your standard homeowner insurance policy does not cover flood losses? It is important to protect your home or business from flood damage by purchasing flood insurance. Flood Insurance is relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of possible repairs. The Town of Gulf Stream participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers this program. NFIP offers reasonably priced flood insurance in communities that comply with minimum standards for floodplain management. The NFIP's Community Rating System (CRS) recognizes community efforts beyond those minimum standards by reducing flood insurance premiums to residents of that community. The CRS assigns credit points based on additional flood protection activities that communities provide to help save lives and property in the event of a flood. Gulf Stream currently has a rating of 7, which means that Town residents owning property located in a special flood hazard area can save 15% on their flood insurance. Contact your insurance carrier to obtain more information on protecting your property with flood insurance. NOTE: It takes 30 days for a flood insurance policy to go into effect. For more information on flood insurance costs and coverage, go to www.fema.gov/national-flood- insurance-program. Gulf Stream has grown with our newly annexed area, as well as all the new construction and renovations. Our property values are staying steady and some even rising. The Town of Gulf Stream continues to be a very special place to live. On Behalf of the Town Commission and Staff, Mayor Joan K. Orthwein.
