Public grant funds will be spent in some measure to protect these condos.

From the day that they moved into their new homes around 6 years ago, the homeowners along the south side of this stream have been angry about the fact that their backyards flood and some of them are having their backyards eroded by the creek. A grant proposal requesting public funds has been written, in part because
- f the problems these
homeowners have faced.
SLIDE 23
Just because there is no designated floodplain, it doesn’t mean that the creek doesn’t flood. (Images from the subdivision on the previous slide)
SLIDE 24
Over $200,000 private, post-construction dollars have been spent to try to protect this road and the condos by it from the erosion created by the stream.
The pink arrows point to infrastructure put in place to try to address the erosion problem.
SLIDE 25
Public water quality improvement funds have been spent because the stream cut into a private storm water pond that had been placed in a flood plain.
SLIDE 26
Public funds were spent to protect this home from the creek. Partly as a result of the work done to protect the home identified above, this home downstream is now being threatened by the creek. The homeowner would like public funds spent to protect his home as well.
The pink arrow points to infrastructure put in place to try to address an erosion problem.

Homeowners of these properties in the picture below have been concerned about the threat to their properties posed by stream erosion. Two in the photo to the left have spent money to dump rock along the creek in efforts to protect their homes.
The pink arrows point to infrastructure put in place to try to address an erosion problem.

PROPERTY RIGHTS
Ohio Revised Code. 1515, 6131.6133, 6135, 6137. Changing the flow of water, by changing volume, direction or velocity, in a manner that causes damage to an upstream or downstream neighbor may result in legal liabilities for those damages. In regards to legal recourse, a regulation like the stream buffer expansion regulation is not a taking (i.e. the government does not have to pay the landowner) unless it results in: 1) a significant detriment not substantially related to public benefit, 2) a complete taking or 3) a taking of a "vested right."
