Commission backs Pittsfield Township language requiring permit before tying into road storm tile, staff asks wording cleanup
Summary
Staff recommended and the commission approved a zoning amendment for Pittsfield Township to require a permit and inspection before tying into township road storm tile; staff recommended clarifying overlapping terms 'road tile' and 'storm tile.'
Christin Brandon, Planning Commission Coordinator, summarized a proposed amendment from the Pittsfield Township Zoning Commission to Chapter 4‑9 Section D that would require a permit before tying into a township road 'storm tile' and mandate inspection by the road supervisor before backfilling.
Staff recommended approval but advised clarifying the language—specifically the use of both "road tile" and "storm tile" in close proximity—which can be confusing. Brandon explained that road drainage tile is designed for roadway drainage and should not automatically be used for private stormwater connections. The Planning Commission approved the amendment on the staff recommendation.
