Summary

The Howard County Drainage Board accepted proceedings for the Maria drain, set hearings for multiple items (Maria drain June 15; encroachment and subdivisions May 18) and placed the Theodore Applegate encroachment for Monarch Springs RV Park on the May 18 agenda; the board adjourned after taking these actions.

The board completed a set of administrative and procedural actions at the meeting.

Key votes and scheduling decisions included: approval of the Kokomo C Store subdivision (preliminary plat) and conditional approval of the two-lot Timberfield Estate subdivision (contingent on completion and county approval of stormwater SWIP documents). The board accepted reconstruction and assessment proceedings for the Maria drain (HCDB 26-02 and HCDB 26-03) and scheduled a public hearing for June 15 at 5:00 p.m.

Tory Tripp of Trip Engineering asked the board to accept an encroachment request on the Theodore Applegate legal drain to allow development of Monarch Springs RV Park (the applicant outlined about 74 lots and said roads would use geogrid rather than asphalt); the board agreed to set a public hearing for that encroachment on May 18 at 5:00 p.m. The Underwood House subdivision request was also scheduled for public hearing on May 18.

The board closed the meeting and adjourned after routine final motions. Notices are to be mailed to adjoining owners for the proceedings and encroachment hearing per the county’s mailing window.
