Subject: Fwd: Proper Water Drainage requested - need POA and Town review ASAP

Dear Town of Carolina Shores,

We have reached out to our POA, requesting guidance for poor drainage in our community, which is effecting a few connected lots. I am providing the details below for your information and review. If there is someone within the Town office our landscaper should speak with, regarding his drainage solution recommendation, please let me know.

Thank you,

Dear Carolina Shores POA,

I'm not sure which committee I should talk to about our Standing Water Problem for our home and surrounding homes. Can you please forward this email to the appropriate person(s)? Advisory Committee? Other?

I purchased our home in October 2019. When I toured the home with our Realtor and began the purchase process, the ground was dry and disclosure mentioned there had never been water inside the home. However, there was no disclosure about the amount of water that surrounds our home after heavy rain(s).

At present, my husband and I are working with a landscaper to try and correct the drainage problem (i.e., lack of proper drainage between our home and neighboring homes). However, to correct the drainage properly is quite expensive.

Wouldn't the POA and Town of Carolina Shores be responsible to ensure home lots have some form of proper drainage? There are 4 home lots that border our home - all with poor drainage (photos attached from February 2021).

Here's a Map that shows our home lot (highlighted Yellow) and where water collects around neighboring lots (highlighted in Blue): Home lots effected: 4 Egret Ct., 2 Egret Ct., 6 Egret Ct., 84 Carolina Shores Dr., 82 Carolina Shores Dr.

We are willing to invest some money in correcting the grading issue with our own property. However, we would like to know if Carolina Shores POA would get involved in this project and request proper drainage out to Beach Rd 179, from the Town of Carolina Shores, our our behalf. Our landscaper is happy to speak with the Town of Carolina Shores with their recommendations.

Please see attached photos. We'd really appreciate someone's help/guidance ASAP.

Thank you,
Julie Turner & David Berger
