Development Areas

• Development Areas

• Buildings, streets, subterranean entrances built 36 inches higher than the present day BFE plus 6 inches freeboard.
• flooded for water levels 42 inches higher than current BFE would not occur until 2080 according to the most aggressive projections, and well beyond 2100 according to the highest IPCC projection.

• Storm Drain System

• Gravity-drained with an initial SLR allowance of 16-inches
• Adaptable to higher levels of SLR with minimal intervention
• Beyond 2050 installing storm drain pumps.

• Shoreline Protection

• Not practical not build full protection now or keep rising.
• Allowance of 16-inches of SLR built into the initial construction
• Design will be adaptable by leaving a significant development setback
