The numbers are for the entire city of Roswell, which is 42 square miles, and includes some very high end properties. But this area is practically downtown, and the property has been developed for 50 years.

If you start getting condo and high-density encroachment into the older subdivisions (and that's probably more likely along the commercial corridor) you could see some increased runoff. But this is not a flood zone and we're not talking about a huge creek. During those 2009 floods the normally dry wash next to our property was a raging river (and got into our crawlspace).

I cruised around the Roswell website for awhile, but didn't see anything in the development plan that had an impact on this particular property - other than it being within the Alpharetta Highway commercial corridor. Source?

It is identified on the city maps as a flood zone, which it obviously would be by the simple geographic fact that the lot is located at the confluence of two creeks.
