NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION · RESEARCH UPDATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2026

Roads & Drainage

Road surfaces, flood observations and engineering conclusions answer different questions. New pavement does not, by itself, establish that drainage is resolved.

Kent Grove Drive

OFFICIAL RECORD

What is documented

The June staff report describes FY26 road rehabilitation from SR 52 to Lussier and the proposed contribution. It predates later observations of completed paving.

Source: June 11 packet, original PDF page 108 (excerpt).

COMMUNITY SUBMISSION

What residents report

Residents report a new base and paving through Lussier, with the remainder untouched, continuing ponding at the dip near SR 52, and queues at the shared outbound lane. These are observations, not an as-built certification or a measured traffic-delay study.

Engineering records in hand

June staff and transportation review, plus historical FDOT hearing records.

Still requested

Paving limits, completed-work plans, drainage scope, acceptance records, maintenance history and current intersection analysis (R01, R03, R04 and R08).

Request status

Price Lane

COMMUNITY SUBMISSION

What residents report

A resident describes repeated standing water, difficult vehicle access and an emergency vehicle unable to continue during one flooding incident. Dates, locations and agency response records need corroboration before an incident is presented as independently verified.

What is documented / records in hand

Resident accounts are in the research collection. A road-specific engineering model or incident report has not been verified in this website release.

Still requested

Flood complaints, closures, maintenance records, drainage mapping and emergency access records (R01, R04 and R11).

Orange Drive

HEARING TESTIMONY

What is documented

Automatic captions from the August 25 hearing describe possible paving toward the preserve, conditional on confirming county right-of-way. This is a discussion lead, not an approved or funded project.

Source: Official recording, 25:21–25:59; automatic-caption lead.

Resident reports / engineering records

No additional road-specific account or completed design is verified here.

Still needed

Right-of-way, approved scope, funding, drainage plans and any agreement. Existing road/preserve requests may overlap; exact coverage needs checking.

Minneola Drive

UNRESOLVED

What is documented

This road is part of the neighborhood research area. A verified road-specific construction or drainage conclusion is not available in this release.

Resident reports

Dated, located submissions are needed. Nearby flooding does not establish conditions on every road.

Engineering records in hand

No complete road-specific plan or hydraulic model verified.

Still needed

Road maintenance limits, drainage structures, right-of-way and historical work orders. Check actual agency request coverage before treating any item as requested.

Vance Drive

UNRESOLVED

What is documented

This road is part of the neighborhood research area. A verified road-specific construction or drainage conclusion is not available in this release.

Resident reports

Dated, located submissions are needed. Nearby flooding does not establish conditions on every road.

Engineering records in hand

No complete road-specific plan or hydraulic model verified.

Still needed

Road maintenance limits, drainage structures, right-of-way and historical work orders. Check actual agency request coverage before treating any item as requested.

Ryals Branch

HEARING TESTIMONY

What is documented

FDOT’s hearing transcript preserves Cody McBride’s 2006 concerns about drainage beneath SR 52, water quality and proposed preserve access. The report also preserves FDOT’s response that drainage, signals and wildlife crossing would be evaluated during final design.

Source: FDOT report, PDF pages 72–74, 91–94 and 14–15.

Resident reports

Reports identify recurring neighborhood flooding; they do not establish modeled effects of the current proposal.

Engineering records in hand

The historical report is available. Final-design findings and a current complete basin model remain missing from the reviewed collection.

Still requested

Basin documentation and historical final-design disposition (R01, R06 and R08). SWFWMD 738678 is not explicitly named in the sent R06 request; coverage is unconfirmed.

How to read the water questions

Geographic connection
Places are near one another.
Watershed connection
Places drain within a defined basin.
Surface flow
Water’s observed or mapped path over land.
Engineered drainage
Designed ditches, pipes, culverts, ponds or discharge structures.
Modeled hydraulic effect
An engineering calculation of changes in water levels or flow.

One does not automatically prove the next. No claim is made here that paving caused downstream flooding.
