Land Alterations Flood Neighbor Property
Land Alterations Flood Neighbor Property
Below are sets if images of a property I'm aware of that has experienced flooding as a result of a land alterations. The land was a vacant lot then purchased and divided by one of the current owners. The land was then cleared of debris and sand/rock trucked in and a new topology created. It is clear that the new elevation of the alterations are notably higher then the adjoining properties including the property being flooded.
Recently a [B]new driveway access was created with sand and rock that has prevented water from draining into a nearby street drainage culvert.[/B] At some time in the very near past there was drainage ditch that collected the water runoff and directed the water into the drainage culvert preventing water from pooling on the property in question and others in the surrounding area.
The images you see are the results of a typical rain day at the location. Clearly a water management plan was not formulated prior to the land alterations.
In general the land alterations have resulted in this property becoming a water shed storage area. The owners have been contacted and the flooded property owner is awaiting their response.
