Conservation district inspection prompts follow‑up; permit reissued through 2029

Township staff and the planning commission reviewed an inspection report and conservation‑district follow‑up related to a separate property discussed during the EB Clearing agenda item. The report documents deficiencies in post‑construction stormwater and erosion controls and directs the property owner to complete a previously approved plan.

Township engineer Scott and zoning officer Gus said the conservation district had approved a plan several years earlier but that final implementation steps were not completed. The conservation district has informed the owner that the plan must be finished; staff said the district would perform a follow‑up inspection. The packet indicates the permit was reissued in February 2025 and extended through 2029.

Commissioners characterized the packet materials as informational and said enforcement and follow‑up inspections would be handled by the conservation district and county. The township asked to be kept apprised because complaints about the site had been made by township residents.

Scott told the commission the conservation district typically performs periodic inspections and that when a landowner seeks to close a permit, a final inspection is required; in this case the district found outstanding work and instructed the owner to complete specified measures. Conservation‑district enforcement, including potential further action if the owner does not complete corrective work, was described as the next step.
