Erosion and Flooding Concerns for East Cobb Park and Nearby Neighborhoods
 East Cobb Park during the September 2009 Flood
Due to the especially large footprint of this particular development and the consequential large area of impervious surface, we question how erosion and flooding could be managed. East Cobb Park and the surrounding neighborhoods had extensive damage in 2009 due to flooding, and the Tritt property sits right next door to East Cobb Park and has two creeks on the property that flow into Sewell Mill Creek. In fact, over 7 acres of the property rest in the floodplain. Due to the extensive re-contouring of the hilly property and the large amount of impervious surface planned, we wonder how that would inevitably increase the erosion and flooding tendencies of this area.
