Joe:
I can’t believe you are buying into this BS. The initial plans to purchase that property had no more to do with drainage then a new airport. The “it’s for drainage” mantra was nothing more then a straw man after the board got caught red handed trying to buy that golf course property. Joe, if that site was the solution for our drainage problem I would have supported it, but it wasn’t then and isn’t now. The “concept” plans by Vista Design Inc. provide no cost estimates whatsoever. They do show a lift station due to the rise in elevation from our outfall and the site location. The price required for the land acquisition was only the beginning of what would have been a very expensive project, perhaps as much as the cost to effect a path down Beauchamp Road which everyone agrees is the best solution. I am comfortable with my opposition of this boondoggle and would do exactly the same today. Marty |

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. |
