I did see street flooding after Debby passed a month ago. Don't know about houses flooding but I would imaging some of the older homes on street level must have seen water.

Very true. Forgot downtown PG was quite flooded. Unknown about the outer skirts though. Lots and lots of water blocking streets downtown.

Thanks for all the replies. I have read on the city website that the waterfront homes have to pay a yearly fee for the upkeeps to the seawall. Is it the same for all homes or the ones with more waterfront pay more for the fee? Thanks again from a rookie.

In PGI, you pay a yearly tax, over the course of the year. It adds up to about $500.00 per year. But you will have no maintenance cost involved with your sea wall. If you have settlement in the back of it, they come out and re-backfill it. If it become damaged, or fails, for any reason, they come out and fix it. There is never any charge for any work involving the sea walls in Punta Gorda Isle. That is not the same if you are in other areas. The sea wall construction, maintenance and repairs are all to be paid by the property owner. If you wall fails for any reason, such as deterioration because your neighbors didn't maintain theirs, your at your own risk. Sea walls can cost tens of thousands of dollars to have built, and maintain. It is fairly common to see them replacing them around PGI. My career has been in construction, and I can tell you that sea wall and retaining wall failures are common. The engineering of them has improved steadily over the past couple decades. A lot more is understood about the dead load, lateral load, hydraulic load, slope failure curves and forces, as well as soil types that effect all of these structures.

I believe its is $500 per single family lot in PGI and $400 in Burnt Store Isles. I don't think the length of seawall matters unless it is zoned otherwise like for condo complexes.

If you can, paste the error if you can.

BTW, when I do a record search for the scans, I ALWAYS get an error and have to try again to get it to work. Been that way for a couple years now.

Or do you get the initial map and after making a change on the right is when it goes 'poof'?

Cheers!

I can't get the initial map at all. It says "Unable to display Map Service. Server returned: AXLParser: "maxy" not found in ENVELOPE"
I told you it was weird!!

Thanks again. In Jersey they used to have wooden bulkheads, now they are replacing them with fiberglass panels. I very rarely see any new ones built with wood. Concrete is extremely rare.

It's a GIS mmapping API so "maxy" probably refers to the maximum Y axis in degrees to be displayed. It's possible that the address you typed in has bad coordinates in the GIS database. Try addresses in other parts of Charlotte County. If they give you the same error then it is probably a setting in your browser.

I got the same error in Chrome, switched to IE and got in no problem.
