Here's the flooding behind my fence located at 2834 Carrollton RdAnnapolis, MD 21403

Here's the resulting flooding and ponding in my back yard located at 2834 Carrollton Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403

I should also note that in the summer it is a mosquito breeding ground and some neighbors have lost trees on their property as a result of the standing water.

That people who pay property taxes, county taxes, state and federal taxes, taxes, taxes taxes, should have to deal with issue which has been on-going for years is a disgrace. Anne Arundel County is supposed to be such a great place to live? Well, at least none of us live in Ellicott City, which God seems determined to wipe off of the face of the planet!

1. The parcel behind Mr. Cooper's property is in the City of Annapolis and is in a forest conservation area, so what is the County supposed to do about it?

2. The Annapolis Roads community was developed between 50 and 70 years ago, back before there were any regulations dealing with stormwater management, so it's been ad hoc solutions for this community and dozens of other older communities ever since.

3. Tax whining and bemoaning regulations go hand in hand and are nothing new, so I am sure there was pushback by the developer against "burdensome" regulations that could have ensured proper drainage when the development was built. Looking at the topo map, Mr. Cooper's house lies right in the middle of a drainage wash that drains the area behind him. I wouldn't doubt it if his property has had drainage problems since day one. There are literally thousands of cases like this across the county.

Ellicott City was built in a flood plain. It's our very own Houston. You know what it's going to take to fix that? More regulations for upstream development and millions and millions of TAX dollars.

The county sent an inspector out (the very next day) and he determined that the property is not county owned, so it's either a city of Annapolis issue, or whatever firm owns the apartments and/or the community association for the townhouse's issue (basically whoever owns the properties). I will reach out to each and hopefully get this issue resolved.Anyway, thank you Anne Arundel county government for promptly responding to me complaint, and although you weren't able to address this issue, however, the representative you sent out was very informative and helpful, as well as professional, and gave me some good suggestion in how I should proceed.

Thank you for contacting us. This address falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Annapolis and not Anne Arundel County. You will need to contact them to have the issue addressed. Thank you.
