Flood screening for this parcel: Moderate flood hazard (FEMA centroid match; check the official map for the exact zone). The City's stormwater finding summarizes which ranked master-plan projects the records report built and which they do not. It is town context, not a finding about this property.
“Of the projects ranked in the City's stormwater master plan, only Marvin Parkway is reported built. The City also built a permeable-paver library lot, both with MWRD cost sharing, and green alleys shared with abutting owners. The other ranked projects remain unbuilt: Mayfield Estates waits on MWRD's Prairie Creek work, expected to finish in 2028; the Sibley storm sewer design was last reported about ninety percent complete, its outfall needing a Forest Preserve District license; and Northwest Park needed Park District approval before design. The budget expects new debt for the next project.”
