The rules <br />regarding the freeboard have changed from one feet to two feet of clear zone between the 100 <br />year event and the low floor elevation. There is currently 1.8 feet, and the development proposal <br />suggested putting water into the pond and worsening a situation by increasing the water level to <br />1.6 feet away from the low floor elevation.
