Board accepts petition to outlet private tile into Consolidated Judicial Ditch #1, orders engineer and viewer
Summary
The board adopted initial Findings and Order accepting Pat Dorn’s petition to outlet private tiling into Consolidated Judicial Ditch #1 and directed appointment of an engineer and viewer, with petitioners responsible for costs.
Pat Dorn submitted a petition after discovering a private tile outletting into Consolidated Judicial Ditch (CJD) #1. John Kolb, drainage legal counsel with Rinke Noonan, reviewed the filing and found it sufficient to proceed. The board adopted the initial Findings and Order accepting the petition and directed appointment of an engineer to assess the ditch’s capacity and a viewer to determine outlet fees and future benefits; petitioners are responsible for all costs.
The minutes state the board must appoint both an engineer and a viewer to evaluate whether CJD #1 can accommodate Dorn’s property connection and to set related fees. The motion was moved by Commissioner Justin Ahlers and seconded by Commissioner Bob Paplow; the minutes record the action as duly passed.
