Resident warns of drainage and accessibility concerns at proposed high‑school site
Summary
A commenter at the Aurora City board meeting said county topography maps show the proposed new high school sits at a high point that will shed stormwater toward woodlands and streams; the commenter also asked whether three‑story wings will include elevators and raised long‑term repayment concerns about the bond.
During the public comment period a resident identified in the transcript as Miss Kai (provided a street address) told the board she had consulted Portage County Soil and Water and reviewed the site topography for the planned new high school.
She said the site appears to be the highest point in the immediate area and that stormwater from the proposed building would flow toward nearby woods and local creeks, not toward her property, and asked how the district planned to address drainage and erosion risks. She also asked whether the proposed three‑story classroom wings will include elevators to meet accessibility needs.
The board acknowledged the comment and a board member said Mr Roberto would follow up by email with details. No technical mitigation plan or engineering response was presented in the meeting record.
