Email to Commissioner Dzadovsky

12/6/2019

 
Email  to Commissioner Dzadovsky dated December 6, 2019 requesting support in  solving the drainage problems on the west side of A1A.

Dear Commissioner Dzadovsky,
It has come  to the attention of the President’s Council that there is a continual  drainage problem on A1A between Waveland Beach and just south of the  Holiday Out residential area.  The problem arises  when we get prolonged periods of rain causing the sidewalks to  beunusable on the east side by Waveland and on the west side north and  south of Holiday Out.  The cause of the problem at Holiday Out appears  to be A1A’s road height; observation shows a dramatic  drop from the road to the residential area.  
The issue  is two-fold.  First, the pooled water increases our insect  problem—mainly mosquitos—but also other creatures growing in the  stagnant water, thus resulting in a possible health problem.  Second,  the pooled water means that citizens must walk on A1A several hundred  feet in the bicycle lane to avoid the water, thus resulting in possible  automobile and bike accidents. I have been told by an “old-timer” that  the area once had a pump that drew water from  the swale, but I have not been able to verify this and I doubt that it  would meet environmental regulations.
We are  asking that you check into this problem. We are not sure whether it is a  county or state problem.  We have had numerous complaints about it and  hope that you can help us with solving the problem.
Best regards,
Don W. Stacks
Treasurer
