Last year, the intersection at Ridge Lane and Long Lake Road was flooded because water backed up in this area. Peterson, Gregory K., 5079 Red Oak - no water problem. Wondered what kind of storm would collection system be designed for. Roger Short answered that normal is for a 10 -year storm. Reten- tion areas may have to be designed for 50 -year storms. Overby, Robert, 5272 Red Oak - no basement water, but 1 - 2" standing in back yard. Four houses south similar situation. St. Marie, Dave, 5278 Red Oak - across H -2 to north swamp gets 2 - 4' deep.
