VII. PROBLEM DEFINED
This problem was determined by CBBEL through a GIS
desktop analysis that included overlaying the Preliminary
DFIRMs and the City’s building footprint layer. Although
not all of these buildings have flooded, this problem area
is included in this SWMP due to the potential for building
flooding and restricted vehicular access.

with key City staff. Future concerns include:
Increased runoff from new development
Increased flooding and drainage problems
Need for additional and/or replacement
infrastructure as well as maintenance of
