? <br />What are the consequences of this? Well, I took the data from Western Reserve's <br />drawings, and used it to sketch the attached, scaled drawing. As you can see from this <br />sketch, the size and depth of the retention basin are not as large as you would expect. <br />Further, the "max allowable depth" shown on the sketch is based upon the basin not <br />flooding beyond the existing property lines. Long before the retention basin rises to this <br />depth, Sharon Drive and possibly many other areas will be flooded. The areas closest to <br />this basin would likely be affected first. Thus, the new homes to be built as part of the <br />Bridgeport DevelC;nment may be immune from flooding, but the older homes <br />immediately adjacent this basin will likely be affected. <br />What can be done to ease or correct these issues? There are many possible solutions. I <br />don't want to complicate this letter unnecessarily with all the technical alternatives. <br />Suffice it to say that I was, am, and will continue to be, willing to meet with the City, the <br />developer, and/or the engineers to discuss alternatives. Like you, I sincerely want this <br />development to be a big success, and to have this retention basin greatly reduce the storm <br />water problems in this area. I am concerned that, if the plans are approved as-is, there <br />could potentially be significant flooding in the area. Also, I would also appreciate the <br />opportunity to review the entire set of drawings and calculations before you approve this <br />plan, so that I may convince myself that the remainder of the project adequately protects <br />me, my neighbors, and the future people who will move into Bridgeport Development. <br />If you, or any one with an interest in the Bridgeport Development, has any questions or <br />comments, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Anthony T.
