Neighbor tells board past flooding led to installed drains; board requires runoff diversion
Summary
A neighbor testified that past heavy storms produced standing water and that he installed swales and pipes to the alley; the applicant and staff said runoff will be routed to the backyard and away from the neighbor as a condition of approval.
A nearby property owner, who identified himself for the record as Mark Edward Roper, told the board he had observed water only during an extraordinary multi‑day storm and described taking steps to manage flows on his lot, including installing a swale and piping to the alley.
The applicant and staff responded that the proposed sunroom would include guttering routed to the rear of the lot and emphasized the natural slope toward the alley; the board recorded a condition on the variance approval requiring that runoff from the home and sunroom be diverted away from the neighbor at 412 South Samuel Street.
