Nope, that was my post.  I had to pay for additional drainage and re-grading.  So did my neighbor.  The new build owners/builder paid nothing.  MoCo stormwater management did nothing.  We did consult a lawyer, but since MoCo approved the stormwater management plan as appropriate, we had no recourse and opted not to bring action and suffer legal fees for an uncertain outcome, when MoCo planning tends to be on the side of the new builder (witness what they did when Ourisman Honda built on public land, they just gifted the property to them,  because they had made a mistake in approving the plans.)[/quote]

My neighbor had a similar issue with a teardown turned McMansion--when you remove grass and trees and plunk a pre-fab ADU there, the stormwater has to go somewhere.  So it goes to the neighbor's homes.  Good luck with that.[/quote]

OK, so we're back to the enforcement issue. The problem is that Montgomery County doesn't enforce requirements. The solution to that problem is to push Montgomery County to enforce requirements.[/quote]

Again, if you want to live in the real world, you would notice the study that there are 1400 air b n' bs operating illegally in MoCo.  So if you think that MoCo is going to protect your home from your neighbor's inadequate stormwater management or the ADU turned illegal Air B n'B, you're not planning appropriately.  [/quote]
