Homeowner approved to build garage near Watterson No.2 drain; roof outfall requires separate application
Summary
The board approved a petition allowing a new three-car garage near the Watterson No.2 drain but denied (for now) routing roof runoff into the regulated drain, saying the outfall requires a separate permit, plans and fee.
The Allen County Drainage Board approved DOC #26-150 for a new three-car garage at 13621 Wesley Chapel Rd to be located 25.4 feet from the top of bank on the Watterson No.2 Drain, approving only the structure and not any outfall to the regulated drain.
Petitioner Tim Arens asked whether roof runoff could be routed into the drain via pipe; ACSO counsel and staff said that outfalls are not part of the approved encroachment and require a separate outfall application, fee, and supporting drawings. Surveyor staff noted the petitioner may return with a revised drawing for the next meeting; the board's approval allows the structure construction to proceed but not connection of roof drainage to the regulated drain without additional review.
