Board approves text amendment to design standards manual to align local drainage rules with state code

At the March 12 meeting 'Adam' (staff) presented a proposed text amendment to the county’s design standards manual (text 26-26129) to Chapter 2 on drainage and stormwater management. He told the board the local manual was currently more restrictive than state code and that the amendment would bring the manual into accordance with the state code, reduce staff time and remove unnecessary hurdles for small developments.
