What New Jersey Residents Need To Know About The Christie Administration’s Proposed First Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Action Plan (CDBG)

“This plan puts into motion the specific actions we’ve been designing to get relief out as quickly as possible to our Sandy-impacted homeowners and businesses – to reconstruct, rehabilitate and elevate homes, and to get over hurdles for our small businesses to get up and running again. These programs have been carefully, but quickly designed to fill the unmet needs faced by our residents to rebuild in a safer, more enduring way, to strengthen our impacted local economies going into this summer, and to help preserve the unique character of our shore communities as we’ve known them. With this first round of funding, we will also begin an aggressive marketing effort to let people both in the region and across the country know that New Jersey is rebounding and that the Jersey Shore will be open for business this summer.” – Governor Chris Christie

The Christie Administration today unveiled its proposed Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Action Plan, which outlines how the State plans to utilize $1,829,520,000 in federal funding. This is the first phase of Community Development Block Grant funds provided to New Jersey by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Additional CDBG recovery funds are expected in the coming months. With this first phase of funding, the Christie Administration is focusing primarily on helping homeowners, renters, businesses and communities impacted by Superstorm Sandy.

  • The proposed Action Plan incorporates input from Sandy-impacted communities and stakeholder groups whose engagement will continue throughout the State’s recovery, rebuilding and restoration process.
  • CDBG Disaster Recovery funds are intended to address unmet needs not satisfied by private insurance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Small Business Administration, or other sources.
  • The Christie Administration will dedicate over 50% of funding for low-to-moderate-income households, in accordance with HUD guidelines.
  • Additionally, per HUD guidelines, 80 percent of the funds will be dedicated to the nine most heavily impacted counties in the state: Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Union.
  • If approved by HUD, the Christie Administration expects that more than 20,000 homeowners, more than 5,000 renters and more than 10,000 businesses will be helped, as well as dozens of local governmental units.

Today’s announcement represents an important step in distributing the federal resources necessary to aid New Jersey’s rebuilding by developing the state’s specific plan for how those resources will be spent. Following a seven day period for public comment, the Christie Administration will submit the Action Plan to HUD for approval. Following HUD approval, the Christie administration will have in place a specific, detailed outline to guide spending.

Residential / Commercial Debris and Construction Material

The deadline for curb side pick of all storm-damaged debris has passed. Pre-Sandy trash and recycling rules are now in effect. All garbage shall be placed in dark – colored, heavy – gauge plastic bags or metal, plastic or vinyl containers that are designed for such purpose with handles and a tight lid. The container shall be no more than fifty (50) gallons in volume. The lid may not be attached in such a manner, such as tied with a rope, string or cord, as to cause a hazard for municipal collection personnel. Garbage placed for municipal collection shall not contain any of the designated recyclable materials, materials resulting from demolition, construction or hazardous waste. Recycling materials shall be place at curbside during your regularly-scheduled recycling pick-up date. All materials resulting from demolition and construction must be disposed of at the property owner’s expense. The Borough will continue to accept clean beach sand. If you have not cleared the sand from your property at this point you will need to contact the Department of Public Works. The Department will inspect and provide guidance on the sand removal and/or disposal on a case by case basis.

Proposed Locations of Dune Openings to Access the Beach for the 2013 Summer Season

Below is a link to a map that depicts the proposed locations for access to the beach for the 2013 Summer Season. With the dune and the beach in such a vulnerable state it is thought best to limit the amount of openings in the dune system for this up and coming season. The governing body discussed these locations during their meeting of March 25, 2013. Please review the map. Anyone who wishes to comment or make any suggestions regarding this proposal can do in by attending the next Council Meeting, which is scheduled for April 8, 2013. Map was approved at the Council Meeting April 8, 2013.

Repopulation Plan

The Borough of Lavallette has received approval to allow the repopulation of our residents and property owners. Your ability to repopulate back into Lavallette is contingent upon the restoration of your water, sewer, electric and gas service to your property. As noted below, it is imperative that you submit the completed NJ Natural Gas “tag” to the Code Enforcement Officer. Upon submission of the tag and verification that all other utilities are provided to your property a permit will be issued that will allow you permanent access. Decals will be issued for each vehicle owned by you or someone who resides with you. Please bring that vehicle information with you when you turn in your completed gas tag and request a repopulation decal. Code Enforcement / building office is located in a trailer in firehouse parking lot.

Repairs to Substantially Damaged Structures

 If your home or business incurred damage, the Construction Department will need to determine if your structure has been substantially damaged. Substantially damaged means the cost to make your necessary repairs will meet or exceed 50% of the value of the structure. In Lavallette, we use the assessed value to make that determination.

 If you structure is substantially damaged, you may qualify for additional insurance money through the FEMA Increased Cost of Compliance Program (ICC).

 A form is attached for your reference and will need to be completed and submitted to the Construction Code Official in order for him to make the determination. Substantial Damage Form

 Caution should be exercised when submitting this form. If a determination is made that your property did sustain substantial damage (50% or more) you will be required, along with the other needed repairs, to raise the structure in compliance with the Borough’s flood hazard ordinance.

 Also provided is a brochure relating to the FEMA’s Cost of Compliance Program (ICC). ICC

 Also provided from FEMA are Mitigation Publications
