Mr. Lechner also states that the County Drainage Board should not be in the business of drains in urban areas, that their primary purpose was to drain farm lands. The hearing is declared closed and the Board entertains a motion for approval or denial of the vacation of the Robert Crawford Tile thru the Pines of Greenwood Development. In the case of approval, a stipulation is that this be preliminary approval only and the subdivision be approved by the City of Greenwood. Mr. Adams makes a motion to grant preliminary approval to vacate the Robert Crawford Tile at the petitioner's property line, said approval subject to the cleaning of the county ditch, that the water will enter into the petitioner's pipe at the NW corner of petitioner's property line, subject to receiving final drainage plans, and subject to final approval of the construction plans by the City of Greenwood. Mr. Weaver seconded the motion.
Motion carries unanimously with the aforementioned stipulations.
The water has been placed into the State's storm system, leaving only about 400-500 feet. As the ground is developed, requests to abandon the remainder of the tile will emerge, in fact some calls have been received. This is just the tile, not the open part of the legal drain along I-65 and Alpine. There being no additional questions from the Board or the audience, the Board entertained a motion to approve or deny the vacation of the Peggs Tile Legal Drain. Mr. Rhoades made the motion to approve the vacation of the Peggs Tile Legal drain.
