Board approves drainage plan for Sofia Estates subdivision
Summary
The board approved the drainage review for the 8.5-acre Sofia Estates subdivision, noting shallow on-site water tables and localized ponding; motion carried 3-0.
The Clinton County Drainage Board approved the drainage review for the Sofia Estates subdivision during its Nov. 3, 2025 meeting, voting 3-0 to accept the staff recommendation.
Staff described the 8½-acre site and noted that the depth to the water table on-site ranges from 2 to 30 inches and is about 6 inches at the proposed building location. The record noted ponding concerns on the north and west sides of the lot but indicated these could be managed with appropriate design and outlet work.
The board had no recorded objections and moved to approve the drainage plan; the motion carried 3-0. Staff marked the site as suitable for limited basements with appropriate construction techniques and recommended standard drainage conditions and outlet protections be included in final plans.
