[StBernard] District D FAQ

[Westley Annis]

Terry,
 
Sorry about the answers to the FAQ- it got out inadverantly without my
review.  But the issue of the mitigation of Lexington Place is not a
workable situation-  that would mean that the whole neighborhood would be
greenspace.  The only areas for mitigation in the district is Danielle and
Stacie Dr.  Everything else will be part of some part of the LRA or other
housing plan.  What hopefully will be different in another storm will be if
the levees do not fail verses keeping the water more controlled.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

Dear Craig:
 
Regarding the Question:  What areas will not be mitigated? and the Answer:
Lexington Subdivision and Angelique Estates will not be mitigated...
 
Why were Lexington Place and Angelique Estates singled out of the
mitigation?
 
I have not driven thru  Angelique Estates, but just like you, I too,  live
in Lexington Place and it was one of the hardest hit subdivisions in St.
Bernard Parish.
 
Plus, it is surrounded by canals on 3 sides !   
 
Lake Borgne and the MRGO are in our backyards.  What will stop another 20+
foot storm surge from drowning our houses again?
 
Is it just me, or does the decision not to mitigate Lexington Place make no
sense whatsoever?
 
Thank you for your non-stop work on such an enormous and intense "project".
I can't imagine what we would do without you.
 
God Bless,
