He explained that since the bike path was built, the water does not flow in the same pattern and ends up ponding in their back yards. They are interested in proposing a method to restore surface drainage that existed before the creation of the bike path to allow for drainage of standing water, but still retain percolation to maintain the current wetland and buffer. The commission explained that this is something that they may approve, but they would need more details. The commission recommended that they get the wetland delineation done and then come back to them informally again.
