The Homeowners of Lot 4, Block 1 of the Kirkwood

Purpose
Drainage study
• Performed by Cumulus Design, LLC
• Easement larger than necessary
• Article V – Flood Hazard Reduction
regulations
FEMA flood insurance study
FIRM Map
100-year base flood elevation
One-foot of freeboard
• Area determination of easement
abandonment
The Homeowners requested Cumulus Design, LLC, a Civil Engineering firm, to
provide a drainage study to determine whether the existing drainage easement
was larger than necessary.
The associated FEMA Flood Insurance Study and FIRM Map, as well as the
onsite topography where used to determine the 100-year base flood elevation
for the property.
The 100-year base flood elevation plus one-foot of freeboard, to comply with
Article V – Flood Hazard Reduction regulations, was used to determine the area
of the drainage easement abandonment. The existing drainage easement is
wider than the existing flood plain and, based on the results of the drainage
study, will remain wider than the flood plain once the subject portion of the
easement is abandoned.
