The property itself has already been deemed a medium risk for landslides. In March 2024, the Videra neighborhood experienced damaging landslides and that was with the erosion protection of the existing oak trees and wetlands. The Planning Commission's decision to remove both the protection of the oaks and the requirement of geotechnical and geological analysis further endangers homes and property in and below the proposed development.
The downstream Videra neighborhood’s culvert is already at capacity and has experienced both flooding and creek bank erosion issues, which have required reinforcement of the bank.
The current stormwater plan does not address the concerns of the Videra neighborhood. It relies on too few swales and individual homeowners to install stormwater detention systems. It also requires individual homeowners to monitor and maintain both the swales and any detention system.
