Clinton County grants conditional drainage approval for West 28 Business Park
Summary
The Clinton County Drainage Board granted conditional drainage approval for a 36-acre West 28 Business Park development, requiring the applicant to address minor grading and drawing comments before a permit is issued.
The Clinton County Drainage Board on Oct. 7 granted conditional drainage approval for the proposed West 28 Business Park, a 36-acre development west of NHK along State Road 28, voting 2-0 to approve the condition that outstanding technical comments be addressed before any permit is issued.
The approval covers a preliminary plan that lays out four outlots along State Road 28 and a larger rear parcel that may be developed in multiple ways. County staff recommended the conditional approval after reviewers identified minor grading and drawing clarifications.
Adam DeHart, project manager with Keeler Webb Associates, told the board the parcel under consideration is 36 acres and that the applicant has been working with county planning for several months. "It was rezoned last year. The parcel that we're looking to develop is 36 acres," DeHart said, describing a triangular piece in the site's lower right corner that remains owned by the county commissioners and where a detention pond is proposed.
County staff said reviewers flagged a small number of issues and that the applicant agreed to make revisions. A staff speaker summarized the recommendation: "Mark Schmeloski has reviewed this. We do have a list of comments which he has addressed, and we're willing to accept those. With the condition that they will not start any construction, no permit will be issued until those have been addressed."
Board members moved and seconded the conditional approval; the motion carried 2-0.
The plan includes an oversized detention pond intended to serve the business park and to provide capacity for potential adjacent development to the south if those sites can connect into the pond's storm sewer. DeHart said the design also proposes a separate dry detention area in the site's northeast corner because an underground pipeline bisects the property and prevents a continuous storm sewer through that area.
The board record notes the applicant intends the construction documents to comply with the county stormwater ordinance and that final permitting is contingent on the applicant resolving the reviewers' technical comments.
Following the vote, the applicant team thanked the board and staff for the review and said they would revise and resubmit the construction documents.
