City of Panama Beach issued the following announcement on July 27.
The City has contracted with Volkert, Inc., an engineering, design and planning company with an office in Panama City Beach, and their consultant partners to design improvements to Front Beach Road from Hutchison Boulevard to Richard Jackson Boulevard. The improvements designed in this contract will enhance safety and improve mobility through the project area.
This is a notification of current field activities that include surveying, environmental assessment, evaluation of existing drainage conditions, and soil investigations on rights-of-way. These activities are necessary for the City to obtain required data to develop the design for the CRA Segment 4.3 project.
It is possible that these activities may require project personnel to enter onto your property. It is anticipated that while performing these services, minor land disturbance and cutting or removal of vegetation may be required. Additionally, workers may be required to flag wetlands and place survey reference points in the ground.
This work is being conducted in accordance with Florida Statute 471.027 that grants permission for engineers to “go on, over, and upon the lands of others when necessary to make engineering surveys and, in so doing, to carry with them their agents and employees necessary for that purpose.” Be assured that in accordance with the statute, those entering your property will not “destroy, injure, damage, or move anything on lands of another without written permission of the landowner.”
Volkert and their consultant partners will be acting as agents for the City in the recovery of this important field data. We appreciate your cooperation in this effort. If you have questions regarding this project or the work being done by field personnel, please contact Arthur Hooks, P.E. at (850) 319-8675 or via email at arthur.hooks@volkert.com.
