Wequoick Flood Study Cerny presented the Weqouick Flood Study, which is still in the draft stage. The Wequoick Flood Study begins at Hwy 57 (north of 54/57). Herrman asked about th e public hearings that will need to be scheduled. Cerny said that there would be a hearing held with notice provided to the affected residents . Additionally, there would be a Town Board hearing. Baenen asked about the 500-year study. Cerny noted how the flood study can affect the comprehensive plan. Langenberg asked if a person who owns most of the land could work with an engineer to build a 20 -foot by 10-foot ditch to drain a swampy area. He wanted to know whether this is allowed and what options landowners have for drainage on their property. Cerny noted that if development in the flood area was proposed, additional research and potentially more studies would need to be performed. Langenberg asked in Cerny’s experience, is that a problem area in flooding. Cerny said the area in the blue on the map has been flooded at one point. Herrman asked for next steps and timeline. Cerny said he could communicate that once he speaks with Engineer Brosteau. Cerny said the next steps would likely be meeting with affected property owners. Langenberg asked what the Coastal Grant was for. Cerny stated was for the flood study, not to correct the items. This was an informational item and no action was taken. 5. Communications.
