Apparently, it is consistently filled with water and a problem. The Director of Public Works advised that the original developer had made an illegal lot split when the property was sold and consequently, the street was left as a separate parcel and that the owner had stopped paying taxes on it and consequently the County now owns it for delinquent taxes.
