Hewitt board allows unpermitted drain tile work to continue if residents obtain required permits
Summary
Two residents who installed drain tile in road ditches without permits were allowed to proceed after the board conditioned approval on obtaining the required permits; the board said the residents were unaware a permit was required.
Two residents installed drain tile in roadside ditches without first obtaining a permit. At the June 29 meeting the residents said they were not aware a permit was required.
The board voted (motion by Tom Iwanski, second by Dan Sommers) to permit the projects to go forward provided the residents obtain the required permit. The motion carried. The minutes do not record the residents’ names or any penalties; the board emphasized compliance with permitting requirements going forward.
The decision signals the board’s preference to regularize unpermitted work through the permitting process rather than pursue enforcement actions in this instance.
