County approves two watershed special‑use permits with engineered stormwater controls
Summary
The board approved WSSUP 43 (industrial expansion with sand‑filter stormwater controls) and WSSUP 44 (small funeral home) after staff found engineered plans met ordinance requirements; applicants will post construction and maintenance bonds as required.
After public hearings, Lincoln County commissioners approved two watershed special‑use permits. WSSUP 43 (Hongtao Han) authorizes the high‑density option in WS‑4 for a 1.01‑acre industrial site with engineered sand‑filter stormwater controls and impervious coverage near 54–55%, subject to required construction and maintenance bonds.
WSSUP 44 permits a small, single‑story funeral home with site‑specific stormwater measures; an adjacent resident raised flooding concerns that the applicant's engineer addressed by pointing to a diversion ditch and a sand‑filter plan designed to match pre‑development flow. In both cases, staff and the county engineer reviewed and accepted the engineered plans and the board voted to approve findings of fact and grant the permits.
