Just note that the developer and City did do a lot of work to study the effects of a storm event and the above just represents my opinion based on the facts surrounding the development. |
Perhaps I do not understand the concept of flood fringes. Why does my house flood and Riverbend remain dry? Also according to this map there is an island right outside my back fence that I could ride out the storm on if I don't want to canoe all the way to Riverbend. Which brings me to my main point: why is Riverbend not on the flood fringe?
