Of Counsel Dear Marvin: <br /> k BONNER D.SAWYER <br /> (1902.1972) <br /> 1 This letter confirms our recent discussion <br /> concerning stormwater management in the context of the <br /> problems now existing in the Wildwood Subdivision . I <br /> have reviewed the report of Hazen and Sawyer entitled <br /> v Stormwater Drainage Study Wildwood Subdivision. That <br /> ;I. study, together with the problems xisting at the <br /> Wildwood Subdivision , demonstrate to me that our Land <br /> Use Planning Ordinances are not adequate in this area. <br /> That is, whenever the County is asked to approve a <br /> i development as intense as the Wildwood Subdivision, a <br /> s comprehensive stormwater management plan which <br /> I adequately manages stormwater is essential . Ordinance <br /> 1 revisions are necessary. Also, Orange County has no <br /> 1 one on staff with qualifications necessary to review <br /> and monitor stormwater management plans for <br /> developments the intensity of Wildwood. In my opinion <br /> the County needs a civil engineer on staff or a <br /> contract with a civil engineering firm to deal with <br /> these issues . This letter is not intended to be and is <br /> not critical of the Planning staff or its work on the <br /> Wildwood Subdivision . It is intended to prompt action <br /> to remedy inadequacies in our ordinances related to <br /> urban type development . <br /> . Very truly yours, <br /> ge •ffre E.
