Planning commission backs code tweak to focus infrastructure above 4215 elevation, with caveats

The commission reviewed a proposed amendment to Hooper City Code 10-4A-31 addressing flood-elevation and infrastructure siting. Staff and engineering input framed the change as moving from an absolute "no development below 4220" standard toward a more granular approach that identifies particular infrastructure (storm drain, land drain, sewer) that should be sited above a 4215 elevation, with sanitary sewer potentially subject to case-by-case engineering review.
