Drainage board approves two consents for permanent structures near county drains
Summary
The board approved consent for a driveway and detached garage for Emma Smalley adjacent to STANGLAND #33 and a shed-on-slab for Elaine Drew near DOWELL L; both requests included minimum setback distances and were approved unanimously.
The Drainage Board considered two Consent for Permanent Structure petitions during the meeting. Emma Smalley requested permission to construct a concrete driveway and a detached garage at least 38 feet from the top of bank of the STANGLAND #33 county regulated drain; Member Michael Schrader moved to approve and the motion passed 5-0.
Separately, Elaine Drew requested placement of a shed on slab a minimum of 35 feet from the top of bank of the DOWELL L county regulated drain; the minutes note this was on the non‑working side of the drain. Vice Chairman Dave Johnson moved to approve the petition, and the motion carried 5-0. Both approvals include the specified minimum setbacks and will be recorded in the drainage office files.
Why it matters: these consents allow property owners to proceed with improvements while preserving minimum buffer distances from regulated drains that support maintenance access and protect drainage function.
