“For the record, Greg Cantwell, Johnson County Surveyor,” Cantwell said during the presentation on the Gradison Estates project. He recommended reclassifying the first 950 feet of the Scott Pruner tile to an urban drain and listed conditions including a legal description and exhibit for the urban drain, an added outlet where the developer connects to the existing legal drain, a bond (Cantwell recommended $125,000 or the engineer's estimate, whichever is less) and 48 hours’ notice before work in the drain.

EJ Mabu of American StructurePoint presented the subdivision layout and noted pond outlets and connections. Several downstream residents, represented in part by Larry Vandenberg, questioned how much new runoff would be added to the ditch and whether existing bridges and channels could handle added flow. “This amount of water is after, inch and a half rain...we're going to add 50 more acres of property that's going to go in this ditch. So I think this ditch needs to be oversized because it's going to get bigger as it goes,” Vandenberg said.

County staff and engineers noted that the developer's calculations met the county's ordinance standards and that the design included detention and an outlet that had received a review letter from the outside engineer (BERC). Cantwell said the engineering calculations, as presented, “meet our standards,” but told the board he favored reclassification and reconstruction of the near-bridge tile to urban standards because of anticipated growth and future development in the watershed.

Several board members said they needed more time to analyze off-site impacts, funding and timing for reconstruction and whether conditions should be mandatory rather than voluntary. A motion to continue the petition for 60 days carried after a second. Cantwell said he and staff would continue coordination with the developer and circulate details by email and follow-up meetings.

The board recorded the continuance; no final action on the subdivision was taken. Cantwell’s recommended conditions for reconstruction and the urban-drain reclassification will be part of the follow-up work the board and staff will examine during the continuance period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Johnson County Drainage Board 7-2-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Johnson County Surveyor Greg Cantwell declared a roughly 950-foot portion of the Scott Pruner tile an urban drain July 1 and the Drain Board voted to continue review of Gradison Estates Section 6 for 60 days amid downstream capacity concerns and proposed reconstruction conditions.","taxTitle","Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4101,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179357,"Drain Board approves Eastburn Farm minor plat; resident raises drainage concerns",696,979490,1675905,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c&start=979&end=1675","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c/thumbnail_979490.jpg","/articles/6179357/Johnson-County/Indiana/Drain-Board-approves-Eastburn-Farm-minor-plat-resident-raises-drainage-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179357-5f19bdbe3a75b45778499ef9c6fe69a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770977190&Signature=SpvVILLzcf9d9Heh8kRQOhj3s1QPlH2BoZnpza7TMr6vsxmc1doddbgU0l~f77LJOQK7RhzB8Cuv6aFAHeRqOScLR2f15PgFPMFIfLN2NT1MYCzvvrfaPIeDc77cU8ybmRKyaWUg48Vd65FLf~OqZtVJ1GpuYK1sARWLGEswhaqtV7crEM3~YQqq16iyjUVWoOM4gVUFBmZD7ra~ANm8yqyBxXd3HONbT~81MHA0hmIMKZR5lPf05oTb7Sqpy1JQPxt7FjWG9TftBAlCHnIcnzBfqnp5qpbV796JHx4vAFQt7pHh17zBBzR0fgTcu9fx4Lao6kQ3wh8sZVDhrspehg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Johnson County Drain Board approved the Eastburn Farm minor plat July 1, granting a waiver for one detention outlet orifice to be reduced from four inches to three inches and requiring the developer to submit construction documents and an operations-and-maintenance manual for final approval by the planning engineer.

“For the record, Richard Hoover, Johnson County planning engineer. We've reviewed the site. They do have 1 waiver that they're requesting, for the facility that's on Lot 3, to go from a 4 inch to a 3 inch orifice... We recommend approval of the waiver,” Hoover said.

Presenter Andrew Farcosi, representing the property owner Terry Johnson, said the subdivision will enlarge previously approved roadside lots and add detention to slow runoff. “So what we've designed, the area is kind of comes off in different directions. So we've designed it to collect, where we can from the impervious surface and slow down to the regulations of the county and then slowly release it,” Farcosi said.

Nearby resident Ricky Zrey asked how new detention would affect his property at 6498 Watson Road and expressed concern about existing clay tile and groundwater. Zrey asked whether construction would disturb an underdrain tile and whether the detention could increase standing water on his property. Farcosi and Hoover explained that the detention is intended to reduce runoff by capturing and slowly releasing water, and that work would avoid damaging existing tile where possible. “So we're actually placing an outlet structure on the ground pretty much, so we're not getting deep, and we're building this up to stop the water as it comes through,” Farcosi told Zrey.

After discussion and public comment, a motion to approve the waiver and require submission of construction documents and the O&M manual to the planning engineer carried by voice vote.","The board approved the Eastburn Farm minor plat with a waiver reducing an outlet orifice from 4 inches to 3 inches and required submission of construction documents and an operations-and-maintenance manual; a nearby resident expressed concern about existing tile and possible impacts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179358,"Johnson County Drain Board approves Kingsbridge sections 3 and 4 with four conditions",47,421889,469755,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c&start=421&end=469","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c/thumbnail_421889.jpg","/articles/6179358/Johnson-County/Indiana/Johnson-County-Drain-Board-approves-Kingsbridge-sections-3-and-4-with-four-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179358-f57d4990912b20d50a24d32b9dc96801/orig.mp4?Expires=1770977190&Signature=Wfh68MGxVhs82IAv1Lw9GYmHavVFM8CBPXNttqckhCMF~3xJHDkXely~wwb-Vy5wuUVMu6zMimEB9DopzQA4iBmW4mvId9EXDj-hU5X-dF11DUnwM6GO7I45Z2on3d-PM2Syfm057EHPgOA~Wvud1cTUoiFCYTs1Ks98etKobtVIF3NzwSSmeMZR-QHxpQPPkGEnJ6VDLNiUptj-vtJNwla-g7eUuNgGoUNM-uGMGO8hXZVFh8mF~8HCX4yjctBpW-O878lPn5zOckCjJujx77ASTS6bO7KKl2jAQVt2-t7G0rnn8CWyGu8d59-eF97xXoEXOL5XSDyGUHR-jCgc4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Johnson County Drain Board voted July 1 to approve Kingsbridge sections 3 and 4 with four conditions: an outside-engineer approval letter, a 25-foot setback at the outlet with an approved headwall and armoring, a $25,000 bond on the outlet, and 48-hour notice for work within the easement.

“For the record, Greg Cantwell, Johnson County surveyor,” Cantwell said before reading his recommended conditions. “Number 1, contingent upon FERC's final approval letter. Number 2, a 25 foot setback on the outlet with approved headwall and armoring. Number 3, $25,000 bond on the outlet itself. And then the 4, a 48 hour notice of the 4 working in the easement.”

David Marks, engineer of record for Kingsbridge with E3 Companies, presented the subdivision plan and said the developer accepted the contingencies. “We have no we take no issue with, any of the contingencies that that Greg brought up. We're perfectly fine with all of that,” Marks said.

A board member asked whether the 48 hours’ notice excluded weekends and holidays; Cantwell and another board member discussed that contractors often work weekends and that the 48-hour requirement would include weekend work unless otherwise specified.

A motion to approve with the listed conditions was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The board recorded the motion as approved with no recorded no votes.

The conditions will be included in the approval paperwork and noted in the construction schedule.","The board approved Kingsbridge sections 3 and 4 contingent on an outside-engineer approval letter, a 25-foot outlet setback with an approved headwall and armoring, a $25,000 bond for the outlet and 48-hour notice for easement work.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179359,"Johnson County Drain Board updates agendas, reviews maintenance contracting and spraying schedule",101,31891,133615,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c&start=31&end=133","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5130773-145eeff3f0e056752b44298b5723188c/thumbnail_31891.jpg","/articles/6179359/Johnson-County/Indiana/Johnson-County-Drain-Board-updates-agendas-reviews-maintenance-contracting-and-spraying-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179359-802085c17e46dc92e26a4337b1072e68/orig.mp4?Expires=1770977190&Signature=TL6i8YkB0P8Jp1QBblJGx~SuJi5j6P99CM8jJ9EMpeS9nJpvnIl9iuw-6empjaW6S-DNyf-G7Ce8EyEGE3dsDE2t69ID9bEDoY1BzjSzIWMRyGPdM2ObE-mHetPsVkGb1URikmhDiyLcA3y5RDokXFHBbrzG1I9nzOFoDAiOYAhfnt9p5Hx0v3342QZm7VkS2dUMveTRIYdQl4cCbxCqhjFuXvunCtyODEavO4ogsJqb~c8f7JBF9C3vabtbsy-JjPTiAn~0QLpBNVHyJurB~CuxFEENcQrXjJinWUH5ex2XAru7~xf5iN1jnxIE3Hj32Sdt-2IM69NynjfKpnlzJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Johnson County Drain Board on July 1 reviewed changes to its meeting agenda format required by a new state statute, and discussed maintenance contracting and spraying work that is nearing the end of its current contract.

Greg Cantwell, Johnson County surveyor, told the board that a state statute that took effect July 1 requires local governing bodies to include, in public meeting notices, the name of each board member, the appointing authority, the date of appointment and the expiration date. “This is part of a state statute that became law July 1, requiring that the governing bodies of a government entity, such as the Johnson County Drainage Board, include the name of the board member, the appointing authority, the date of appointment, and the expiration,” Cantwell said.

Cantwell also reported that county spraying for drainage maintenance began the day before the meeting but was delayed by contractor scheduling and recent rain. He said this is the final year of the current spraying contract and that the county will rebid the work in the fall. “We started spraying yesterday. It's a little bit later than we normally do... It's also the last year in our contract, so this fall, we'll have to rebid that,” Cantwell said.

The board clarified county procurement thresholds. Roger (last name not recorded) explained the quote and formal-bid thresholds: purchases above $50,000 up to $150,000 require three written quotes; purchases over $150,000 require a formal advertised bid. Cantwell noted exceptions for emergency repairs and single-source compatibility needs. “Anything above 50 and less than 150,000, you obtain 3 quotes. Anything over 150, you go through the formal advertisement for bid process,” Roger said.

Board members also noted that some routine maintenance projects have been delayed because trusted contractors are in demand and projects must be scheduled weeks after funds become available. Cantwell said the county will seek bids for larger projects in the fall for spring construction.

Looking ahead, the board flagged that the updated agenda format will make meeting notices longer and that staff should ensure compliance with the new statutory language.","At its July 1 meeting the Johnson County Drain Board discussed a state law change requiring expanded agenda notices, reviewed recent spraying work and contractor availability, and clarified local bidding thresholds and exceptions.","actionData","errors"]
