Since the Floyds Fork Special District was set aside to remain agricultural and recreational the average lot size, per residence, was 9.4 acres in 2022. This development creates .1 acre lots.

The solid blue line is the Floyds Fork conveyance zone which is where the water WILL convey during a flood. According to this plan, the conveyance zone will be in people's backyard! Additionally, a sewage pump will be installed right next to this conveyance zone. 

The yellow shaded area showcases floodplain that will be filled during construction but was never accounted for during the water modeling. The red lines are what was studied and purposely go around the most intense fill area.

To build within the flood plain, the developer would be required to raise each house and street to 2' above the 100-year flood plain. Additionally, the developer would have to put in flood retention and flood storage basins. While these basins are designed to protect the houses being built from the 100-year flood, they do NOT protect from the 200-, 300-, or 500-year floods. They also maker smaller (10-, 50-, 99-year) flood events much worse for everyone upstream and downstream! 

The increased erosion is evident along the banks and is due to the impact of smaller flood events being channeled and no longer going into previous flood plain (storage) areas.
