Improvement in drainage, <br />as discussed at length in Letter Report No. 3, will improve drainage conditions across a <br />large area of a subdivision, not just for those residences for which flooding reports have <br />been made. The estimated number of lots (in lieu of detailed information on number of <br />people in a residence) generally benefiting from drainage improvements in the general <br />vicinity of a subdivision have been also estimated; these estimates are listed in Table 2-4. <br />The number of lots likely to directly benefit from drainage improvements provides an <br />alternative method by which to judge the relative merit of drainage improvements. <br />2.3.4 Problem Areas with Short Term Drainage Project Remedy <br />Initial work in development of the CWDS examined drainage problems and potential <br />remedies developed by the City because of conditions conducive to severe flooding; these <br />problem and remedies have been detailed in Letter Report No. 1. Five critical areas were <br />identified in this initial identification of drainage and flooding problems by the City (for <br />convenience these problem areas are identified as City-ldentified Drainage Problem <br />Areas. These are listed in Table 2-5 and shown in Exhibit 2-12. <br />Potential remedies for reduction or elimination of localized drainage problems in these <br />City -Identified Drainage Problem Areas had been identified by the City, the distinctive <br />feature of the remedies being their ability to be quickly and relatively cheaply <br />implemented. These drainage problems, the proposed remedies, and the evaluation of the <br />proposed remedies are summarized in Table 2-5. The particular drainage problem <br />remedies for these initially identified problem areas are localized and consisted of the <br />following strategies applied in the immediate vicinity of the identified problem area: <br />2-8 <br />Klotz Associates Project No. 0127.008.000 La Porte Citywide Drainage Study <br />January 2009 City of La Porte <br />
