One of the key issues that effects an entire community is the style of shoreline ordinance present. In lakes where there is a shoreline ordinance that grants the public rights to access all around the lake, a very different community results than when private property owners own all rights to the water edge.
It would be logical that the public would not be reasonably expected to pay for enhancement to a lake, or even, suppose, the creation of one, if a community did not have any shoreline rights to enjoy the lake.
Hence---the discussion of shoreline zoning tonight at planning should be an interesting opening to a discussion that may last a while. Stay tuned.

This is what I woke up to this a.m. I think the new development/grading is to blame. This is not the "100 Year rain" we received last time this happened. I question what is going to happen after all of the roads, roofs, parking lot?, etc. are put down that won't absorb rainwater?

Why are those areas where there is standing water, lakes, why are those areas not fenced off at the cost going to the city? That is very dangerous. Fences need to go up immediately in those areas, it only takes inches for someone to drowned and its clear some of these lakes are several feet.
