Commissioners table first easement vacation and approve second after developer commits to replacement easement
Summary
The board tabled a petition to vacate a stormwater retention easement that lacked drainage-board approval and approved a second petition to vacate and replace a 12-foot drainage easement in Reiner's Ridge after the developer confirmed a recorded replacement easement and a three-month timeframe for ditch construction.
During a public hearing Aug. 10, the Warrick County commissioners tabled the first petition to vacate a stormwater retention easement because the drainage board tabled the matter earlier that day and the board required drainage-board consensus before vacating retention easements.
For a second petition involving Reiner's Ridge Phase 2 (Lot 8), staff confirmed notices were mailed to adjacent property owners and green-card receipts were on file. Scott Beadle of Cash Wagner & Associates corrected an earlier description and said the developer seeks to vacate a 12-foot drainage easement (not 23 feet), and that the developer will construct a replacement ditch and then record a new 12-foot easement once the work is built. "It'll be replaced with the same 12 foot easement," Beadle said. The board asked that a recorded copy of the new easement be provided when available.
After public comment the board returned to its official meeting and approved ordinance number 2026-16 to allow the second easement vacation to proceed (item 3(b)), while the first petition remained tabled pending drainage-board action.
