signed up to speak. Scott Hodge was first and lives next door. He stated that the
kennels are approximately 200' from his home. He stated that he has a medical
condition that prevents him from tolerating the barking dogs. He has called the Sheriff's
office to report the nuisance many times. Mr. Hodge reported that the Whites didn't live
there until recently. Don Phillips another neighbor attested that he had been to Mr.
Hodges property and that it is very noisy. He stated that the barking is constant.
William Bradt lives about a half a mile from this property and said that he also hears the
dogs barking from his place and also from Mr. Hodges place. Robert Rose is the home
health aide for Mr. Hodges and he reported that the dogs are loud. He presented a
video on his cell phone of the dogs barking. A report was sent with this video to the
Prosecuting Attorney's office by Mr. Hodges. He stated that Mr. Hodges condition is
such that this isn't good for him. Another neighbor reported that not only do the dogs
bark all the time, the White's play music loud enough to try and drown out the barking.

Subject: Bee Creek Continued Problem o f Flooding

To: Taney County Commissioners and City of Branson

Subject: Branson Hills Development

Dear Officials:

I'm paying a very high price for the developm ent of the Bee Creek W ater shed area.

Branson Hills, with its acres o f asphalt and concrete parking, has altered the flow of Bee Creek beyond its ca p a city to
carry the excess water thru Bee Creek to Lake Taneycomo.

The lack of foresight in planning has caused flooding and damage to my property and apartments along Bee Creek which
lies downstream from the Branson Hills development. The holding ponds built to prevent this apparently w ere poorly
designed and have not been effective fo r their intended purpose.

The altered flo w has increased the velocity o f the water causing m ore rock and gravel to descent to the lo w e r reaches of
the stream. The w ater then slows and fills the Bee Creek channel w ith rock and gravel The normal Bee Creek channel is
now over one-half filled in some areas.

The flooding has caused damage to my apartments and will only increase as the development continues o n the w ater
shed area. I'm now in danger o f losing an eight unit apartment building if the rock and gravel are not rem oved and the
sides o f the channel be cleared of the brush.

I have tw ice talked with Rocky Presley w ith the Corp of Engineers at Table Rock Lake. Each time he has to ld me the rock
and gravel from the stream bed could be removed.

As the city and county are collecting the taxes from the developm ent and their decision has adversely affected Bee
Creek, this is a request for the stream to be cleaned out to prevent further damage and flooding.

See attached picture to show the w ater release from the Home Depot, Target, Pizza Hut area. There is no retention
basin to stop or slow this deluge. '

In July 2 0 1 5 ,1sent a report on the problem to M ayor Karen Best, M ike Scofield, Brandon Williams, Danny Strahan, David
M iller, Randy Haas and Rocky Presley.

I received no communication from that report.

Re: Bee Creek Flooding

Dear Mr. Friesen,
Your letter of August 31, 2017 regarding flooding on the David & Sharon Crismon
property adjacent to Bee Creelc in Taney County has been forwarded to myself from die Mayor’s
office for a response. First and foremost, I appreciate you keeping die city of Branson informed
of die matter while you work with the Taney County Commission on a solution to possible
issues.-
The flooding events in 2011.2013, and 2017 have made us all aware of continual and
ever-increasing storm events. The last few years of flooding have been challenging for all of us
as more intense and frequent raintall has caused issues in various areas of Taney County.
In looking at the issues raised in your letter, I have been informed that that City has
required storm water detention facilities on new projects constructed inside of the Branson city
limits since the early 1990s. These detention systems are designed for the private developers by
professional stormwater engineers. The systems are calculated to detain stormwater runoff so as
to keep the rate of runoff comparable to die predevelopment rate. The Branson Hills
development area within eitv limits has stormwater detention provided so as to not significantly
altering the flow of Bee Creek. Even, with these precautions, the runoff from the entire 3,775 acre
Bee Creek watershed flows within 130 feet of the Crismon5s apartments. These buildings were
built in the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Zone A. and based on the flood elevations shown
on die nearby FEMA Flood Insurance Rale Map Zone AE, it appears that at least one of the
Crismon buildings is a few .teet below the flood elevations in that area. This location is obviously
susceptible to water flow issues.
The Bee Creek watershed, as stated above, is 3,775 acres in size. Approximately 42% o f
the watershed is in Taney County outside of the Branson city limits. The City is unaware of how
Taney County may or may not have implemented any storm water detention requirements
outside of die City. If there is not implementation of runoff requirements on developments in the
unincorporated portions of the watershed, the rate of runoff will increase. In looking at the area

"The City will encourage the Quality growth of a healthy, wholesome, clean environment in which people live, work and visit."
rrinUhi oil tatycted, PfGcesftt-a t nJotino Uoo-
in questions the amount of impervious surfaces including all parking lots and roofs in Branson
Hills, totals less than 10% of the watershed area. Again, these areas inside the City are required
to develop detention basins to maintain the rate of stonnwater runoff and the City believes from
the provided plans that this was properly achieved at the time of construction.
Your letter indicates that at the Bee Creek channel is being filled with rocks and gravel.
Since that creek is outside of the city limits. 1 would suggest that the Gasmen's best plan would
be to work closely with the Taney County Commission and the Corps of Engineers to obtain the
necessary permits for the Crismotf s to maintain the creek channel on their property. If Taney
County did some improvements below the Crismon property, as stated in your letter, then it
would be logical that they may want to do more repairs or alterations.
The letter mentions excess water coming over a bluff behind a Crismon apartment
building. The contour mapping of Taney County indica tes that the microwatershed north of th e
Crismon property is actually 460 acres in size. With an area this size, combined with a lack of
stonnwater detention facilities being required by Taney County, it seems inevitable that the
Crismon's are having problems especially with their location at the bottom of a bluff. Also, be
aware that recently Circuit Judge Laura Johnson ruled in case number 16AP-CC00524 that the
City has zero authority to request that City Code be applied outside of City limits under the terms
of the Bee Creek sewer agreement.
Thank you keeping the city of Branson in formed of the matter. If you have further
questions, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

In terim -C ity A d m in istrator
