The Problem
Original plat of this property showed a 2-acre area of regulatory floodplain encroaching into site, deemed to be impossible to reclaim by the owner. This area was virtually the heart of this proposed development on White Rock Creek.
The Solution
After reviewing the original HEC2 analysis of the creek hydraulics, I discovered that this area could be reclaimed with virtually no adverse effect on the related water surfaces. The City gave us permission to revise the plat and drainage easements to reclaim this valuable land.
