ESTERO
Estero Village Council voted to move an ordinance that will add standards for development of elevated single-family homes to a second reading on March 1.
During the Hurricane Ian recovery process, some Estero residents requested permits to put their homes residing in the floodway on stilts, Village Manager Steve Sarkozy said.
In November, the village adopted updated floodplain regulations, requiring home elevations in certain areas. The new regulations call for additional fill needed or raising homes on stilts to meet flood elevation requirements.
