Summary
The Drainage Board set April 20 public hearings at 8 a.m. for petitions to vacate portions of the Simpson and Scott legal drains and for reconstruction hearings for Scott and Lucas tiles; staff said developers and Lebanon Utilities will fund reconstruction work and assessments have been prepared.
The Boone County Drainage Board on its recent meeting set multiple public hearings for April 20 at 8 a.m. to consider petitions affecting the Simpson, Scott and Lucas legal drain tiles tied to area subdivisions and utility projects.
Carol of the surveyor’s office described the Simpson and Scott petitions as tied to the future Courtyards at Heritage Trail subdivision. She said the Scott drain vacation would affect parcels owned by the Kane Family Trust and Jeffrey Kayser while the Simpson tile work involves property owned by Stonegate; all three properties are under contract with EPCON Communities, which will build the planned PUD.
For the Scott tile, surveyor staff presented plans for an 18-inch reconstruction prepared by Kimley-Horn, said the reconstruction would provide an adequate outlet for the Courtyards at Heritage Trails subdivision, and asked the board to accept a schedule of assessments and damages. The board set a public hearing on April 20 at 8 a.m. and accepted the assessment schedule.
Staff also presented a Lucas tile reconstruction petition at the outlet for a proposed City of Lebanon booster plant site; Lebanon Utilities told the board it plans to pay all reconstruction costs and BFNS prepared the reconstruction plans. The board set the Lucas hearing for April 20 at 8 a.m. and accepted the assessment schedule.
All three hearings were scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. to avoid delays to the commissioners’ calendar, per staff request. The board approved the hearing dates and the assessment schedules by voice votes.
