Description
1 1/2 inches of rain last night and the stormwater poured into my property from the adjoining Siena townhouse development. The erosion in my property continues. The standing water is breeding mosquitoes. We are asking for help from the town to resolve this problem causing damage to our properties. Siena must be notified by the town to capture their stormwater and use their drainage system retention pond.
I also have videos. Contact me for additional details.
I visited the townhouse property during the storm and the stormwater was gathering at the privacy fence ankle deep and pouring under the fence as demonstrated in the attached picture.

Hi Ann,
We are neighbors through the woods and downhill from the townhomes. I will create a request also. We are likewise ankle deep in mud and water and the bank of the Creek runoff has eroded to the point of dislodging the drain pipe used to direct the water. I think it’s the downspouts pointed to the rear of the development rather than the drains that were planned for it. The retention pond across the street does not catch much, if anything, from the underground pipe that was planned to control their storm water. The water has created a second tributary and they both overflow to pour into our yard. We have already installed a drain the entire length of the yard but it cannot handle the increased amount of runoff since the development. Im not certain anyone is monitoring the success of the retention pond until the WakeMed development is finished but I know that pond can’t possibly catch runoff directed away from the drains. I don’t think the build matches the submitted plans the Town had signed off on. Hopefully someone can help!

The drainage is a substantial issue and the scm ordinance requires ongoing town oversight.
Please advise us when you can address the issues with the HOA
