VANDERBURGH COUNTY

DRAINAGE BOARD

MARCH 18, 2008

The Vanderburgh County Drainage Board met in session this 18^th day of March, 2008 at 5:45 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Troy Tornatta presiding.

President Tornatta: I would like to start the Tuesday, March 18^th Vanderburgh County Drainage Board meeting. It’s about a quarter till six.

President Tornatta: I ask for approval of the minutes.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Tornatta: So ordered.

President Tornatta: Mr. Jeffers?

Bill Jeffers: Good afternoon. Our first and only drainage plan tonight is Highway 41 Industrial Development. It’s a Bramco parcel. What’s on our overhead display is the entire 40 acres being developed by Industrial Contractors. John Stoll had just brought in the roadway that comes in and accesses this for your approval in your previous meeting, across from Boyle Lane and then into this parcel. What I’m bringing forward to you is the northern 16 and a half acres, up here where it says Highway 41 Industrial Park. Now, we’ll see a shot of what that 16 acres is going to look like. It’s a Bramco development. It will consist of a display yard for their machinery that they have for sale, heavy equipment, and their parking area for customers, their warehouse and parts, their equipment shop, their truck service parking area, and their rental return area. They also lease and rent equipment. I believe it’s an industrial zoning. The drainage plan is on your desk. It’s been prepared by Bernardin Lochmueller and Associates. It’s surrounded on two sides by farm ground, so, I have asked for a berm along the north line and around the west line to direct all the interior drainage into a drainage basin that’s up here in the northeast corner on your plan. The rest of the drainage that’s not captured in that method will run down here to an existing detention basin that Industrial Contractors has already implemented in the southwest corner. Then that discharges into an existing farm drain. The one up here in the northeast corner discharges into U.S. 41 right-of-way. The plan comports with the drainage code. The County Surveyor recommends approval of the final drainage plan for Highway 41 Industrial Development, Bramco parcel.

President Tornatta: Any questions? I look for a motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

President Tornatta: Second and so ordered.

Bill Jeffers: The only other item of business–

Commissioner Nix: And, I abstain. I’m sorry.

Bill Jeffers: I’m sorry. Excuse me.

Commissioner Nix: I abstain.

Bill Jeffers: I did have Waterford Place Subdivision, Section Two on the agenda, but due to some notification issues, that will be brought to you April 1^st, so that we can notify a neighbor. We want to make sure he got his notification.

Bill Jeffers: I have two claims for work done on Barr Creek and Maidlow Ditch. This is for the final 15 percent retainage fee, guaranteeing completion. We have inspected it, it is complete, everyone’s been paid. We recommend approval of these two claims.

Commissioner Nix: Move approval.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Tornatta: So ordered.

Bill Jeffers: Thank you.

President Tornatta: Alright, any other business?

Commissioner Korb: Motion to adjourn.

President Tornatta: Hold on.

Commissioner Korb: Sorry.

President Tornatta: Any public comment? I don’t think I see anybody. Okay.

Commissioner Korb: Motion to adjourn.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Tornatta: So ordered.
