Additional public comment flooding drainage

30:25Um so there's someone here Joanna, there's someone here that wishes to still address it? With dogs, you said?

30:38We're gonna open this back up. Someone's

30:43Public comment?

30:43Yes. Okay.

30:48Oh boy, that's one of those good looking ones.

30:53Diabetical or dogs for me. They um Uh

30:57name and address for the record, please.

30:59Pardon?

31:00Your

31:00name and

31:00address.

31:01Oh, it's Arnold Beckon, [address removed]. I have twenty-five acres there. I bought the property and moved up there in nineteen eighty with my family. and she grew my daughter grew up and we both ended up having to leave because the traffic was so dense with the development but no roads. that we couldn't get to work on time. Literally. I I

31:32was in charge of drinking water for thirty three years and Hillsborough County government served at the at the commission's discretion. Um my my issue is is that I still own the property. I would still like to live there. And I've been having flooding on the property as a result of lack of drainage that existed when I bought the property. And basically um the property's

32:02value has been diminished sorely. I have three wells on the property, one of which has been inundated by the flood waters as a result of inadequate drainage with the new development. We used to have a channel next door to me that went over into the field that I heard maybe developed as a roadway. and Tyndall Road also had drainage. and that has all changed

32:33and now whenever there's heavy rain it does damage. My one well has been inundated. Cost me $4,000 to have that well installed and have it elevated enough so that it would never be inundated. And this is just a result of the development that's occurred. So I really appreciate it. This is going to be uh Um I'm going to need long term care when The diabetes which I've had for 52

33:03years is type 1. And I realized that I'm going to have to have long-term care, but it's not available to someone who's had diabetes since a child. So I appreciate anything that can be done to look into the drainage situation. My neighbors up there, they've had a whole lot of property damage done, whole walkways taken out. I used to fish on down the lake all the time. And the

33:34um fish club at the north end of the lake had a private um had a private uh staff gauge on the lake and we monitored that. And Johnny you can't park on. It's John E. Cash. Yeah. So I I really the value of the property has been diminished and I know this can be remedied by providing adequate drainage for the new development and I appreciate anything

34:04we can do. Like my my grandkids

34:06down there.

34:07He's a near nose and throat specialist. He cleans her ears. Thank you very much.
