CRA:

PAST, PRESENT

AND FUTURE

It takes a very long time to improve an area and generate economic growth. In the first decade when there were not enough funds to generate activity, the emphasis was on creating plans and programs that would later come to fruition. By the turn of the century in early 2000, the CRA began to assemble land and build new affordable housing throughout the district. Ortanique, Sable Chase and other housing developments began to improve the housing conditions in the northwest neighborhoods. A Collier City master plan was created and implementation is underway including changing the zoning to limit

THE HOMEFRONT BY DAN HOBBY, SAMPLE-MCDOUGALD HOUSE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

s with people in towns across America, Pompano’s residents had little idea of what to expect when America was dragged into World War II on December 7th, 1941. But changes were not long in coming.

to remain on duty at the bridge while the other went fishing with Jim’s father.

Within days of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, security measures were instituted along the Atlantic coast. Armed guards were stationed at the Intracoastal Waterway bridge at what is today Atlantic Boulevard. Soon thereafter those crossing the bridge to the beach had to have a pass. During evening hours, only those who lived on the beach or had official business there were allowed to proceed.

By the summer of 1942, security concerns led to the establishment of volunteer horse patrols along the lower Florida shoreline. Pompano residents responded enthusiastically, becoming the first community in southern Florida to place its unit in the field ready for service. Beginning September 3rd, 1942, thirty-two riders, each volunteering for a four-hour shift, rode in pairs and covered a four-mile stretch of the shoreline. Stables were built on the beach near the Pompano Casino and local residents provided the funds and services for feed and care of the mounts.

At first the guards were from the Border Patrol, but were soon replaced by Coast Guardsmen. Later soldiers from the Boca Raton Army Air Field were sent to guard the bridge. Jim Miller, whose family lived in the bridge tender’s house during that period, remembered the guards coming in pairs. After several months of intense vigilance with no real security challenge, it was not uncommon for one guard

Soon, these volunteer horse patrols were replaced by mounted U. S. Coast Guardsmen, housed at the Silver Thatch Inn. The Guardsmen covered the shoreline south to Las Olas beach in Fort Lauderdale and north to the Boca Raton Inlet every evening as part of a coastal patrol system that stretched from Miami to Daytona Beach.

During World War II, Pompano volunteers were stationed on the beach to watch out for German U-boats and (more unlikely) enemy aircraft. Those who volunteered for this program remember long, lonely nights during which one’s imagination could give rise to all sorts of concerns. Strange noises might be the sound of a German submarine running on the surface not far away, or the source could be merely a nearby automobile or piece of machinery. Debris on the beach may have come from an enemy vessel, or it could have just floated in from a neighboring coastal community. A light from the shore could be a signal to a Nazi submarine, or it might be a blackout curtain blowing in the wind. One account of a watcher incident on Pompano’s beach gives an indication of just how vigilant the volunteers could be: “On [an] occasion one of the volunteer plane spotters became highly excited because of a family wash hanging on a line. A family bearing a German name but patriotic American citizens lived near the beach. The good housewife found it necessary to have two wash days one week. Seeing this, the sky watcher became convinced that the arrangements of the freshly laundered garments on the line spelled out some kind of code message to a German submarine lurking off shore. He enjoyed his excitement all by himself. No one else bought the story. In their everyday lives, Pompano residents quickly adapted to nighttime blackouts. Officials were particularly concerned that the lights of coastal towns would provide an illuminated background that would silhouette merchant ships for lurking German submarines. Even the Hillsboro lighthouse “went dark” during the war. This concern was not idle speculation. German U-boats prowled the offshore shipping lanes, sinking scores of ships in the first months of the war. Long af-

ter the war, many Pompano residents remembered a glow on the eastern horizon, an indication of a burning merchant ship or tanker. Homeowners were reminded to keep their drapes closed at night and automobile headlights painted black, except for a small area that cast a small beam of light downward. Those who failed to follow blackout regulations could expect a knock on their door and a reminder from the local blackout warden. Other than essential services such as railway trains, aircraft beacons and emergency vehicles, local residents were required to extinguish all lights in their homes and businesses and were to park their cars alongside the road with the headlights off during blackout drills. Outdoor smoking was prohibited as was the lighting of matches. Churches that held Wednesday evening services were asked to be done early enough that those attending could be home before the blackout began. As in other communities across America, Pompano residents soon found some everyday items in short supply. The government found it necessary to implement rationing of many essential goods in order to adequately supply the war effort. Daily life was influenced by what food products were available and how much a family could purchase at any one time. Buying sugar, coffee, meats and other foods required a ration coupon, although in an agricultural town there were always other options available from the backyard or the nearby fields. The rationing of gasoline, tires and other automotive parts proved more difficult to get around, and with the addition of the federal government’s order that all passenger car production be stopped and converted to wartime purposes, many people sought other forms of transportation. In Pompano, an increase in bi-

cycle traffic in 1942 led some residents to complain to city council, asking that the police enforce ordinances regulating bicycle traffic. They were especially concerned with bicyclists riding on the sidewalks. The council also instructed the city workers to make sure there was a sufficient number of bicycle racks to handle the increased two-wheel traffic. As the war progressed, Pompano began to experience a housing shortage. During the conflict, there was little residential construction as labor and building materials were diverted to the war effort. Purchasing a home was difficult as the Federal Housing Administration suspended its program for insuring home mortgage loans made by banks and other approved financial institutions for the duration of the war. New residents, be they military personnel or agricultural workers, had a hard time finding housing. It was not uncommon for rooms to be rented in family homes and tourist facilities to be taken over by the military for the housing of servicemen. Of immediate concern to area farmers and businessmen was a shortage of labor: the war called many away from Pompano and made it difficult to rely on anyone of military age staying at his job. Many residents that were not subject to military call-up (including three of Pompano’s city councilmen) resigned from their regular job to work in war industries. The war ended with Japan’s surrender on September 2, 1945, and local residents looked forward to a return to “normal” life. The war, however, had brought changes that would be far-reaching, altering the way local residents lived and worked for decades to come.

City offers Prime Rate

BUSINESS LOANS

he City of Pompano Beach offers a low cost tool to help Pompano businesses thrive. The Office

of Housing and Urban Improvement (OHUI) is offering Revolving Loan Fund loans of $25,000 to $50,000 at the Prime Rate, which has been hovering around 3.75%.

ESS BUSIN

Here’s how

the program works: Using $500,000 of HUD Economic Development money, OHUI created the Revolving Loan Fund. The Fund’s purpose is to help existing businesses grow so that they can create or retain jobs for low and moderate income persons. Although the loans are much like private bank loans, the lower interest rate reduces monthly loan payments.

Lower

monthly

pay-

ments help cash flow, an important ingredient for success. Revolving Loan Fund loans can be used for a broad range of activities, including

for

inventory; machinery; equipment and building improvements. Any existing Pompano Beach business with a track record of success can apply. Stop

Flood Damage This article is required by the Federal Emer- gency Management Agency (FEMA) to satisfy provisions in the Community Rating System (CRS) for reduced costs for flood insurance.The following is offered to Pompano Beach residents to help prevent and minimize the impact on lives and property caused by floodwaters.

Flood Hazard Map

The City has copies of FEMA’s Flood Criteria Map identifying flood zones for all properties in the city. The FEMA Flood Hazard Areas found within the City limits include Zone X, Zone AE, Zone AH, and Zone VE. The map depicts the flood hazard associated with any parcel in the City. A summarized flood zone map is located in the Building Inspections Division at City Hall and is available in electronic GIS format.

Flood Risk

Although we have been relatively fortunate for many years, the flooding on Halloween 2011 as well as the recent astronomical flooding of 2015 reminds us of the possibility of a flooding event without a major storm or hurricane. The risk of flooding within the City of Pompano Beach can increase by the presence of higher water levels within the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway due to storm surge. In general, property located east of State Road A1A within the City has been designated as a coastal zone which encounters greater flooding risk due to waves and storm surge during a significant storm event.

Flood Warning System

The City of Pompano Beach, in coordination with Broward County, has a warning system to notify residents of impending flood danger. Warnings will be transmitted on public address systems such as the City’s website, CODE RED, television channel 78, telephone, and on a door-to-door basis. Listen for instructions during times of flood risk.

Flood Safety

These are precautionary steps to consider before possible flooding: • Listen to radio or television for warnings. • Obey warning and evacuation instructions from disaster officials. • Know your evacuation zone and route. • Take your own essentials (food, toiletries, clothes, blankets, etc.). • Turn off the electricity and gas before leaving your home. • Bring a battery-operated flashlight. • Be careful at all times, particularly at night, and try to remain calm. • Do not drive through flooded roadways • Do not walk through high waters • Stay away from electrical wires

Flood Insurance

Most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover property losses due to flood waters. To

{Protect Your Home and Property}

insure your property for flood damage, you need a flood insurance policy. If you do not have valid flood insurance, contact an agent immediately. Property owners can insure property; renters can insure possessions. The City of Pompano Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to provide city residents with the initial qualification to purchase flood insurance. Flood insurance typically covers the building structure but not the contents so verify your coverage for contents under your homeowner’s insurance. Please note that there is a 30-day waiting period after purchase before NFIP flood insurance coverage takes effect. The City currently participates in FEMA’s CRS program to enable our residents to qualify for lower flood insurance premiums.

Property Protection

There are ways to minimize property losses from flood damage, including: • Move furniture and other household valu ables to rooms or spaces in the upper story of a two-story dwelling or a location higher than the lowest floor elevation in a single story home. • Place sandbags in strategic places around your property prior to flood status. When sandbags are placed correctly at proper locations, they can slow up and divert flood waters. • Upgrading your property can include regrading your property to provide for on-site storage of stormwater runoff, installing an earthen berm along the perimeter, retrofitting the existing structure to be flood proofed, or elevating the existing structure to raise the finished floor elevation.

Development Permits

All development (new construction, additions, renovations, alterations to properties, etc.) in the City of Pompano Beach requires a construction permit. The NFIP and the Florida Building Code requires the entire building to conform to the flood mitigation requirements for new buildings when repairs or alterations exceed 50 percent of the building’s fair market value. All applicable building permit applications must conform to this requirement when submitted to the Building Inspections Division. The requirement may also apply if a building is substantially damaged. Before building on, altering a building, or replacing fill on your property, always check with the Building Division on permit requirements. A permit may be required to ensure that the construction does not negatively impact adjacent properties. If an ongoing construction project within a City does not have a posted permit sign, please contact the City’s Building Division to report the possible violation.

Stormwater Management

Stormwater is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals maintained regularly by our Public Works and Utilities Departments, the Broward County Office of Environmental Services and South Florida Water Management District. Constant water flow through these canals, especially during heavy storms, is essential to flood prevention in the City. City and state laws prohibit dumping trash in waterways. Report violators to the Public Works Department at 954.786.4060.

Natural Habitat

Natural areas of the City provide a beneficial function by reducing the potential severity of flooding. These natural areas typically collect and retain stormwater runoff during rainfall events and allow for the infiltration of stormwater into the natural ground surface, which can reduce the flooding levels within the developed areas of the City. These natural areas also enhance the water quality of stormwater runoff by allowing suspended sediments and nutrients to settle during the retention period. State regulations protect those natural areas that help to reduce the risks associated with flooding. Along the beach, no new structures are permitted seaward of the Coastal Construction Line without permission. Other restrictions protect some wetland areas from development.

Rate Reductions

On June 11th, 1993, FEMA awarded the City with a Class 9 rating in the CRS. This rating earned Pompano Beach residents a five percent discount on flood insurance premiums. In September 1994, the City received official notification that Pompano Beach residents are eligible for an additional five percent discount, or ten percent total, on flood insurance based on the City complying with the requirements for a Class 8 rating in the CRS. In July 2012, FEMA awarded the City a class 7 rating, so flood insurance policy holders in special flood hazard areas within the City currently receive a 15% discount insurance premiums.

Additional Information

We urge City residents to visit www.broward. org or visit the Building Inspections Division to determine the flood zone and flood elevation for their property. Pompano Beach City Hall is at 100 W. Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida. The Pompano Beach Branch of the Broward County Library, located at 1213 East Atlantic Boulevard, has information on flood insurance, flood protection and floodplain management. For More Information email floodzoneinfo@copbfl.com or contact Paola West, City of Pompano Beach CRS Coordinator at 954.454.7780 or Michael Rada, City of Pompano Beach Floodplain Manager at 954.786.4062.
