Board defers Roger Farms ditch‑cleanup request, cites drainage‑district tiles in right of way
Summary
The Board of Supervisors took no action on a Roger Farms application to clean the north ditch along 140th Street at Kildeer Avenue because the ditch lies in a drainage district and tiles are in the right of way; staff will gather more information.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors on June 30 took no action on an application from Roger Farms to perform ditch-cleaning work along the north ditch of 140th Street at the intersection with Kildeer Avenue.
County officials noted the ditch is within a drainage district and that tile lines exist in the county right of way; because of those jurisdictional and infrastructure issues the board deferred the matter to allow staff to gather additional information. The minutes state no vote was taken and no permit or authorization was granted at the meeting.
What happens next: County staff will investigate ownership and drainage-district authority and report back so the board can decide whether to permit the work or require coordination with the drainage district.
