HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE 7910 Aurora Court (6)All:
The City constructed a French drain/underground piping for exfiltration
in the road to relieve standing water from “normal” rain events near the
owner’s driveway. This was at the owner’s request and at taxpayer
expense. The owner was also notified that this would help in normal
rainfall situations but not large rain events or hurricanes. We have
successfully done this at several locations along these “alleyways” near
the beach. Photos were taken during rain storms prior to the
installation of the French drain to verify where stormwater was standing
in the road – this was investigated by the City and Atlantic Development
(contractor). The area of standing water was not immediately in front of
the owner’s driveway – a little to the north. There was also a utility
conflict immediately in front of the owner’s driveway – City of Cocoa
water – underground piping could not be installed. If you build a house
below the crown of the road (and maybe even below sea level) - ?????? I
believe the City has acted more than responsibly in this matter. Please
contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Jeff

David,
Can you give us a summary/timeline of permitting/building
modifications/drainage issues for the subject property.
Looks like her property is 3 to 4 feet below the crown of the road,
which is it obvious it had to be built that way, but she wants to sue
the city now for flooding issues.
Thanks
RL
