Drainage board approves Long Estates minor-subdivision drainage review
Summary
The Clinton County Drainage Board approved the Long Estates one-lot subdivision drainage review after staff reported no flooding concerns; the site’s depth to water table (~30 inches) limits basements and crawlspaces, officials said.
Speaker 2 presented the Long Estates minor-subdivision drainage review, describing a proposed one-lot subdivision on about 17 acres in Madison Township north of Mulberry on 550. Speaker 2 said a creek runs along the west side of the property, there is roughly 20 feet of fall from the proposed home site to the creek, and the depth to the water table at the home side is about 30 inches, which limits basements and makes crawl spaces somewhat constrained.
Board members asked questions and accepted the presentation. Speaker 3 moved to approve the drainage review and a second was recorded. Chair (Speaker 1) announced, “Motion carries 3 0,” and the board closed the agenda item. No conditions or amendments to the drainage plan were recorded in the transcript.
The board noted there were no flooding concerns at the home site and no concrete-related issues identified in the staff presentation. The board indicated the item will proceed toward any required subsequent hearings for drainage reconstruction at a future meeting.
