re: Is it a dick move to fill your lot/ building pad much higher than neighbors house?

base flood, street elevation, adjacent property elevation, drainage elevation drawings.

"Base flood" changes almost daily due to new developments being constructed that are not considered in the dated maps.

Street elevations are not even surveyed these days after they are reconstructed or overlaid. I know. The streets around my home never held water and never overtopped before they were overlaid, even through hurricanes and actually the '16 flood. Since they were overlaid in '19, any reasonable rain results in ponding to complete street flooding into adjacent yards.

An addition to the subdivision is being built in the back of my neighborhood. It is being advertised as being built above the 2016 flood elevation. How stupid do you have to be to not understand the results of that?

How does that new addition not affect the existing drainage map?

Anyone who has any general knowledge of how drainage works can see that it is nothing but a money grab. You can't increase tax revenue without more development....frick anyone who was there before.
