Commissioners approve purchase and settlement for 16812 Edinberg Lane to create detention basin
Summary
The board approved a settlement and purchase agreement for 16812 Edinberg Lane; county staff said the property will be demolished and converted to a retention/detention basin to help neighborhood flooding.
St. Joseph County commissioners approved a settlement agreement April 7 to acquire the property at 16812 Edinberg Lane for stormwater management.
County staff explained the parcel receives a large share of neighborhood drainage and that the property is suitable for conversion into a retention/detention basin to reduce flooding. The plan described by staff includes demolishing the existing house and regrading the site to function as part of local drainage infrastructure.
The board approved the settlement agreement by unanimous vote. Staff did not provide a purchase price in the meeting record and did not specify a demolition or construction timeline; those details were described as the next steps to be handled by the department overseeing the project.
