Yes I was aware that the concept of a new holding pond was being considered in the past. You're now pointing to current studies by those engineers and the County which apparently have also made it clear this would currently be the preferred, most viable path.
And these messages are forming a rather good case, supporting your idea that OP missed a good opportunity, when the board chose to not pursue the acquisition, with a referendum in 2015. Seems I'll change my prior views, and say your Pine Shore views were/are correct . Thanks for those clarifications. I'm thinking that most readers here will now have a much better perception of this issue. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You really haven’t been paying attention. The plan I am talking about developed by Colby and others took water from OP and diverted it to a storm water retention pond on the old golf course property. That plan even was approved by the State for a grant. Unfortunately, at the last minute the developer backed out and would not allow OPA to send water to the pond. What is now underway is a portion of that plan with increased captivity for Bainbridge Pond and some other work. However, we still have no place to get rid of the water. There are old plans for a drain pipe down Beauchamp Road but the estimate from 10 years or so ago was $14 million. Not likely to be done and association members will just suffer with the flooding (My apologies. The amount a decade ago was $4 million, not $14 and the cost today was estimated to be around $8 million.) Not buying that property was a very costly mistake, in more ways than one, regardless of what Marty says And regardless of any secrecy involved in the initial discussions. |
