Board approves Deer Ridge Park subdivision drainage plan, marks floodway as non‑build area

Howard County's drainage board approved the Deer Ridge Park subdivision drainage plan after a staff presentation described topography, a branch of Wildcat Creek and a designated floodway marked as a non‑build area on the recorded plat. Mr. Johnson, who presented the item, told the board the site has adequate drainage with a nearby Wildcat Creek branch and an identified floodway that will be preserved as non‑build.
