County drainage board approves Promise Wedding Estates site plan after stormwater review
Summary
The County Drainage Board approved a one-lot, 6.57-acre site plan for Promise Wedding Estates after hearing engineering details about on-site detention, a culvert under County Road 1150 East and assurances that post-construction discharge rates would be slower than current flows.
The County Drainage Board on a motion approved the Promise Wedding Estates site plan, a one-lot, 6.57-acre subdivision off County Road 1150 East that will include an event center and chapel. The approval followed a public hearing and engineering presentations about drainage and stormwater controls.
Tory Tripp, engineer with Tripp Engineering Consulting, told the board, "This site is located on County Road 1150 East ... It is a 1 lot subdivision containing 6.57 acres. The site will include an event center, a chapel, and it's associated ... it all drains to a detention area that discharges to a culvert that goes under 1150 East, and then flows through the property to the south ... and then discharges to the Wildcat Creek." Tripp also answered board questions about the site plan and pond location.
Greg Blake, who reviewed the drainage plans, said the pond was designed to meet the board's discharge ordinance and that, after construction, "the basin will be at a slower rate after the construction than this area currently discharges today," adding that the culvert under 1150 East "would be able to handle everything."
A nearby property owner, Jennifer Catidi of 8614 West 200 South, spoke during public comment and said of the valley and culvert below 1150 East, "It's never flooded. It drains perfectly fine."
Board members asked questions about farm drainage and whether the project would disrupt existing flows; staff described the existing drainage as a swale through a valley and noted that current grading provides fall and drainage. The board received confirmation that the applicant had obtained a stormwater permit prior to the meeting.
A motion to approve the Promise Wedding Estates site plan was moved and seconded; the chair called the vote and the motion passed.
The board did not adopt additional conditions on the public record beyond the site plan and stormwater permit requirements, and no further public comments were received during the hearing.
