D.S.T. at the Fulton County 4-H Fairgrounds. The following Board members were present: Chairman, Roger Rose; Vice Chairman, Ron Truex; Board Member, Sherry Fulton; Board Member, Don Goon; and Fifth Member, Michael Tiede. Also in attendance were Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne; Kosciusko County Surveyor, Richard Kemper; Joint Drainage Board Secretary, Jean Cloud; Joint Drainage Board Attorney, Greg Heller; and Assistant Surveyor, Tom Chudzynski. Chairman, Roger Rose, called the meeting to order at 7:02 P.M. D.S.T. Chairman, Roger Rose, commented we are here tonight to consider some proposals made for the Chippewanuck Creek, specifically to establish a maintenance rate. Chairman, Roger Rose, introduced the members of the Joint Drainage Board. Chairman, Roger Rose, asked for any additions or corrections to the June 8, 2009 Organizational Meeting minutes. Being no additions or corrections to the June 8, 2009 Organizational minutes, Ron Truex made a motion to approve the minutes as presented. Sherry Fulton seconded the motion. Motion carried. Chairman, Roger Rose, asked for any additions or corrections to the June 8, 2009 for the Joint Drainage Board meeting. Being no additions or corrections to the June 8, 2009 Joint Drainage Board meeting minutes, Sherry Fulton made a motion to approve the minutes as presented. Don Goon seconded the motion. Motion carried. Chairman, Roger Rose, opened the hearing on the Chippewanuck Creek to establish a maintenance rate at 7:09 P.M. D.S.T. Landowners/Representatives present: Dorothy Bixler; Jeanette Miller; Jacob Riffle; Max Cumberland; Angela Bredeweg; Allen and Karen Heltzel; Eli and Barbara Hochstetler; Oren Norman; Devon Smith; Mike Norman; Tom Holloway; Paul Holloway; Jason Holloway; Dick Alber; George and Lorna Strohschein; Robert Peterson; Howard Kerr, Jr.; Jim Doud; George Krom; Phil White; Jerry and Deb Hartzler; Nyle Miller; Jim Bucher; Steve and Cathy Heller; Gene Black; Allen Black; Kristopher A. Fear; Michelle Hentz; Daniel Hagan; Tom A. Weaver; Don Burton; Mike Boldry; Carmen Smith; John Elliott; Roy L. Fisher; Dale A Heltzel; Robert and Nancy Wilburn; Lana Hunter; and Charlotte Hammond. Chairman, Roger Rose, asked Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, to give an overview of the project. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, stated the proposal was to start the project near the railroad tracks east of the Tippecanoe River. Don commented when they met with DNR, Army Corp of Engineers and IDEM, because of the floodplain and wetlands in the area, the project was moved upstream, approximately one thousand feet (1000') west of County Road 450 East. The project then will go upstream to the southeast to where the Bucher Open drains into the Chippewanuck Creek, which is south of Division Road and north of the railroad and north of Lake 16. The total project is just under six (6) miles. Don further commented that the project consists of brushing one side of the creek, pulling out logjams and also dredging the creek. Don further commented there would be from one (1) foot to four (4) foot taken out of the creek. Don commented the last seventeen hundred (1700) feet of the creek where the Bucher Open drains into the Chippewanuck Creek; a one step removal will have to be done, because of a wetland area. Don commented the spoil must be hauled and spread to a tillable upland area. Don commented he has marked on the maps the side of the creek the work will be done. Don further explained where there are wetlands the work must be done on the opposite side. Don commented there are a couple of small wetland areas that we can work through, will need to pile the spoil on the high ridge adjacent to the creek. Don commented the estimate for the project is approximately fourteen dollars ($14.00) per benefited acre. Don commented the Joint Board decided to do a two (2) year payback, so the proposed assessment is seven dollars ($7.00) per benefited acre with a fifteen dollar ($15.00) minimum. Don explained that after the two (2) years, the Board would review the maintenance fund of the drain and lower the rate at that time. The floor was opened for landowner questions and comments. Jerry Hartzler asked if it is necessary to dredge where the Bucher drains into the creek and haul it upland, since it was cleaned back in 1984. Don responded he shows that a foot to a foot and a half needs to be cleaned out in that area. Don explained the Bucher drain is a county drain on maintenance and needs to be taken care of at this time. Jerry Hartzler asked if the work would be done so that it will not destroy crops. Don explained the permits with DNR and IDEM would not allow work to be done between April 1 and September 15, because of bat habitat and fish spawning. Don explained the work would be done after crops are harvested in the fall. Phil White asked about clearing the brush and trees on the creek. Don responded the brush and trees would be cleared out, and on the bank the trees will be cut and pulled out, and if the trees are beyond the bank and further than three (3) foot in from the top of the bank, the stumps will also be pulled. Don commented when the creek was clean fifty (50) or so years ago, the spoil was not leveled, so the spoil bank will need to be leveled in some areas. Phil commented if the trees are taken out, then the people down on the Tippecanoe River are going to see the water go up and down, even faster. Don commented they might, but we are only taking the trees off of one side, and this must be done in order to the do the work. Phil asked if the creek would be channeled. Don commented the proposal is not to widen the creek, but remove the silt that has built up in the creek over the years. Don commented there are some oxbows in the creek, but we will not be able to take those out, we will just follow those areas when the work is done. Mike Boldry asked about surface water coming from upstream. Don commented there is nothing we can do about the surface water coming across from neighboring fields. Mike commented by dredging the creek, the creek would be able to handle more volume of water, and keep the water moving better. Don also commented there are several logjams in the creek. Paul Holloway asked from County Road 450 E to the river if there would be enough flow to take care of what the proposal is. Don commented the project will be started a thousand (1000) feet west of County Road 450 East, and there will be a foot to a foot and a half taken out of that area of the ditch and a silt trap will also be put in at that location. Don commented the worse part of the creek is north of Fort Wayne Road, and there will be approximately four (4) foot taken out of the creek in that area. Paul asked about Shriver’s near the river. Don commented shots had been taken on the entire creek. Don commented in that area the biggest problem will be logjams. Don commented in the past on other ditches, logjams have been removed and the maintenance money for the ditch has been used to do the work. Don further explained from County Road 450 E on west the river there are so many woods, floodplain, and wetlands, and for the work to be done from the railroad to County Road 450 East, the cost would be considerable to go that short distance. Don explained in order to do that area a contractor would have to hydraulically dredge that area, which entails floating the creek, and pump all of the spoil to a ravine, plus remove all the brush. Don further commented if logjams need to be removed from that area, west of County Road 450 E, the situation can be taken to the Joint Drainage Board, and they can address the issue and decide if the work can be done using the money from maintenance fund on said drain. Nancy Wilburn asked why the project is being done and what are the benefits. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded there are several regulated drains, both open and tile that drains into this creek, which are affected by the creek. Don further commented there is flooding in several areas, where it backs out into field. Don also commented the benefit would be to eliminate the flooding into fields, and provides a better outlet for the drains coming into the creek. Steve Heller commented he lives over by County Road 1400 E, which is Fulton/Kosciusko County line. Steve asked how is this project going to benefit him, as he has ten (10) acres of swamp and there is a ditch, but it is not maintained. Steve also commented he has been paying ditch tax for thirty (30 years, and still have the swamp area. Steve further commented if it is not going to help him, then why does he have to pay. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented to Mr. Heller, that he is in the watershed and the water on your property ends up in the Chippewanuck Creek. Don commented to Mr. Heller that he is in a bad area. Don explained that the ditch is a county ditch of record, but is not set up on maintenance. Jerry Hartzler asked about the proposed rate for the project. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, explained the project actually would cost approximately fourteen dollars ($14.00) per benefited acre, but the Joint Board decided to extend the payback for the work over two (2) years, so that gave a proposed rate of seven dollars ($7.00) per benefited acre. Don commented when the fund gets back to zero or close to zero, then the Joint Board would review the fund, and would lower the maintenance rate. Dan Hagan commented his notice read the cost would be fifteen dollars ($15.00) per lot. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented the Joint Board set the minimum at fifteen dollars ($15.00). Don further commented there is always a minimum, and even if someone owns two (2) acres, they still would pay fifteen dollars ($15.00). Mr. Hagan commented he has four (4) lots and he is going to be assessed fifteen dollars ($15.00) on each one. Jeanette Miller also commented she has the same situation. Drainage Board Secretary, Jean Cloud, commented the fifteen dollars ($15.00) is on each parcel, and she has one lot on each parcel number so that is the reason for the minimum on each parcel number. After brief discussion, Vice Chairman, Ron Truex, commented if the landowner has four (4) lots and you are treating it as one property, you can go to the Auditor’s office and asked that those parcels be combined on one parcel number, and you only pay one assessment. After further discussion on this issue, then the question was asked if after the work was completed would the rate be adjusted. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented if the proposed rate would remain in effect for two (2) years, then the third year the Board would review the fund and lower the rate. Paul Holloway asked about the total acres in the watershed. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented he is proposing to take acres off of the low end, since the project is starting one thousand (1,000) feet west of County Road 450 East. Don commented there is approximately eleven hundred (1100) acres from the starting point of the project to the railroad that he is proposing to remove from the watershed. Don further commented the charge can only be to landowners from where the project starts to upstream. Don commented any landowner that drains into the Struckman Open would be taken out of the Chippewanuck watershed. Don further commented that would bring the watershed acres to approximately twenty-seven thousand three hundred (27,300) benefited acres. Paul Holloway asked how many acres would be coming from Kosciusko County. Drainage Board Secretary, Jean Cloud, commented there is 5595.11 benefited acres. Paul Holloway asked if the upper end has been cleaned where the project is going to start. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented the Bucher Open has been cleaned on the low end. Don further commented there is a stretch of the Bucher Open from Kosciusko County Road 880 W up to Rock Lake that needs to be finished. Phil White commented his concern is from the starting point to the Tippecanoe River. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, explained where there are floodplains, woods and wetlands, spoil cannot be deposited in those areas, so the creek would have to be floated and the spoil pumped upstream and the cost would be excessive. Phil White commented then there would be fast water going into that area. Don commented the creek would have the same grade as the rest of the ditch. Don commented that everything on this drain is a fraction over or below a tenth grade, which is a foot per thousand, which is a good grade for an open ditch. Robert Wilburn asked if and when you decide to clean that out, will the people in that area pay for the work being done, or are the people paying for this project going to be paying for that work, and the people in that area will not have to help pay for the work. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented he does not see the area from County Road 450 E to the river being cleaned out. Don further commented if someone comes forward and wants that area cleaned, then another hearing would have to be held. Jayson Holloway was concerned about what is going to happen with the water at the starting point, if the area on west is not cleaned. Don responded the water would flow just as it is now. Don commented cleaning there would allow the silt to flow out in a silt trap and keep the water moving on. One of the ladies asked what is the benefit of doing the project. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, explained the creek will be cleaned and brushed in order for all the regulated drains to flow freely into the creek, and it will also improve the overall drainage system of the area, and keep the adjacent ground from being flooded. The individual also asked if there was anyone in attendance that is having a flooding problem, and is there anyone here that this is going to help by doing this project. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented there are people here wanting the project, if they will speak. Another lady commented she lives in Akron and commented she understands she received the letter because she is in the watershed. Don responded stating that is right and the Akron area either drains to the north into the Bucher Open or to the south into the Harter Curtis, which both of those drains end up in the Chippewanuck Creek. It was asked if there would be a specific time to make sure the work is completed. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded there would be a starting time and a finishing time and hopefully it will be done during that window. Jerry Hartzler asked about the area between the Bucher and the Gast drains. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded and said there will be approximately three (3) feet taken out the drain by the Gast drain, but the Gast drain is not set up on maintenance. It was asked if landowners would be asked to fence the ditch in order to keep cattle out of the ditch. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded there have been comments on that situation, and since it has been brought to his attention he must address the situation. Kris Fear asked about crossings for cattle. Don asked if it was like a ford. Kris commented the ditch has a gravel bottom and the water is low enough so that the cattle can cross it. Don further commented if the landowner wants a ford back across the ditch, we have done that in the past for the landowner. Don commented normally the landowner pays for it, whether it is a ford or a pipe. Jerry Hartzler asked if a private crossing is taken out is there any provisions so that property is not land locked. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, explained when a private crossing is removed on an open ditch, then it is the responsibility of the landowner to put the private crossing back in. Don commented the size of the pipe would be determined for the landowner, and the pipe would be set to grade. Jerry Hartzler commented there are no provisions for damages. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented according to State Statute that is damaging the ditch because the pipe is undersized. Don commented to Jerry that the pipe on his property needs to be approximately seven (7) times bigger. There was discussion if the private crossing is not put back in the ditch, the property would be landlocked because they cannot get to the property on the other side. Don commented a ditch does not land lock a parcel of ground. Don commented it is the landowner’s responsibility to put the crossing back in the ditch, especially if the pipe is too small, because it acts as a dam. It was asked if there would be any road culverts taken out. Don responded “no”. Eli Hochstetler commented they are at the upper end of the project and do not need it, but was taught to take into consideration the landowners at the lower end. Mr. Hochstetler commented this has been going on for years, why were we not asked to pay a small amount years ago, instead of this large amount now. Don commented he agreed, but it just did not happen. After further discussion, Mr. Hochstetler commented he is willing to pay on it, but would like to see it stretched out. Vice Chairman, Ron Truex, commented when the Board met in June there was discussion on what the cost of the project and the Board cannot come to the hearing and charge the landowner’s more than what was set at the preliminary meeting, but we can go less. Vice Chairman, Ron Truex, further commented we have the same money, it is just how long we spread out the cost. After further discussion, Chairman, Roger Rose, commented the project will give watersheds an improved outlet. Phil White asked, “What good is this project going to do, and according to the drawing a thousand feet (1000’) west of County Road 450 East is where the project and watershed will start, so I will not have to pay anything. Phil commented he is located at County Road 375 East and County Road 400 N. Don commented he would not be included in the watershed. Phil commented he would probably get flooded out. Phil also asked if it is against the law to go down a waterway and remove fallen trees. Chairman, Roger Rose, asked for further comments or questions. Jason Holloway asked, “How he is going to get benefit out of this, as the starting point is in the middle of my farm, and I will be catching everyone else’s water.” Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded, “There would be dredging done and removing the brush on one side, so this it will keep the water moving. Don commented there has to be a starting point, and the next person is going to say they don’t want it if you cannot go to the river, but we cannot clean that area. After further discussion, Don commented it should improve the drainage from the woods to upstream and a silt trap will be put in downstream, we are not putting in a dam. It was asked what the cost would be to take the log jams out near the river. Don commented logjams would need to be taken out periodically, probably every spring and fall. It was asked if the logjams could be taken out when the project is started. Don responded, it would be difficult to get a piece of equipment down in that area, and if there was a huge cottonwood tree down in the creek, someone would have to walk in and cut it up, and does not feel anyone would want to do that. The question was asked how this would affect the property taxes. Don responded, “That it will not affect the property taxes, it is a ditch tax, and there will always be a maintenance fee and once the work is completed and the Board decides to lower the maintenance rate, then by State Statute once there is four (4) times the annual assessment in the fund, then it is not assessed until work is done again and the fund is below the maximum amount. After brief discussion, Mike Boldry asked if the Board’s consensus is to lower the rate to one dollar ($1.00) after the work is done and paid for. Chairman, Roger Rose, commented the Board would discuss this after all comments are heard. Tom Weaver commented his Dad moved to the area in 1963 and there has always been drainage problems, because they could not get enough fall for the tiles, because the creek was too high. Tom further commented they attempted to put tiles into their fields, but the tile was always under water. Tom further commented that this project would help their drainage. Tom commented he does question about what other landowners have commented on tonight, about the outlet part, and it does not make sense if there are logjams or something on down by the river, that would also help everyone by having them removed, even though it cannot be dredged. Tom further commented we all want the flow to increase. After further comments, Tom asked that the lower end near the river be looked at in reference to take out logjams to improve the flow of the water. The question was asked if an appeal could be made on the decision. Drainage Board Attorney, Greg Heller responded the landowner has the right to file a judicial review. Chairman, Roger Rose, again asked for any other comments. The question was asked, How long would the Board be willing to run this out to, three or four years?” Chairman, Roger Rose, responded, “Since the Board has heard the suggestion several times, we will entertain the idea.” Debra Hartzler commented if it is decided the culverts on their property must be taken out, then they are going to have to pay all the expense, and we cannot stretch it out for years because we must get to the property on the other side of the creek. Deb further asked if they would be told if the culverts have to come out. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded the culverts on their property are too small and must be taken out. Deb asked if they could be compensated for replacing the culverts. Kosciusko County Surveyor, Richard Kemper, commented he is going to interject about private crossings. Richard commented there are authorized private crossings and unauthorized private crossings. Richard explained with an authorized private crossing, the landowner goes to the Surveyor’s office and he provides the landowner with a grade, a minimum area of opening for the structure and he does not specify what it should be whether he round, oval, bridge or whatever. Richard explained if it is on file in the surveyor’s office, and if you had received a letter from the Surveyor, that is an authorized structure. Richard explained an authorized private crossing in a reconstruction project, the cost could be included in the cost, if the structure must be replaced then everyone in the watershed would help pay for it. Richard explained since this project is a maintenance project, the Board has discretion ultimately if they want to cost share or leave it all up to the landowner. Richard further commented according to code after the crossings are installed, even the authorized crossings, the maintenance of that crossing is the responsibility of the landowner. Richard gave an example if the crossing fails on the end and washes out and riprap is needed, it is the landowner’s responsibility, or if the crossing rusts off, it is the landowner’s responsibility. The question was asked if a culvert plugs up with trash upstream. Kosciusko County Surveyor, Richard Kemper, commented it is part of the maintenance, but sometimes a landowner will remove the trash if possible. Richard also commented if the owner is elderly or is not physically possible, Kosciusko County will go out and remove the obstruction and pay it out of the maintenance fund. Richard further commented they try to work with the landowner. Jerry Hartzler commented then he should see if there is a record that he has an authorized private crossing. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented he does not have a record of that being an authorized private crossing. Don further commented the only information he has on Chippewanuck Creek is when it was dredged back in the 1900’s. There was further discussion on this issue. Steve Heller asked the Drainage Board Attorney, Greg Heller, about the appeal process. Greg commented that an attorney needs to be contacted and the appeal would go to the Drainage Board. Drainage Board Attorney, Greg Heller, commented there is a time frame for the appeal to be made. Chairman, Roger Rose, again asked for further comments. It was asked if there were proper grass areas maintained along prior to getting into this ditch, or not and is this part of the problem with a lot of surface drains and soil in this drain or is the banks washing down into the drain. Chairman, Roger Rose, responded it is an agricultural area and there is sediment coming in from field tiles and general runoff. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, commented as far as set aside acres and filter strips along a drain, we encourage that. Don further commented the landowner cannot be forced to do it. There was further discussion on this issue, and Tom Weaver commented he does have filter strips and understands once the work it done; it is the landowner’s responsibility to reconstruct those areas. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, responded, “That is the way we have done it in the past” There was also discussion about a spray program set up after the project is done. Chairman, Roger Rose, gave a last call for final comments. It was asked how many objections were received. Drainage Board Secretary, Jean Cloud, commented there were approximately twenty-seven (27) landowners or approximately 2300 benefited acres. Several of the landowners filing objections have several parcels of land. Phil White commented he feels a lot money will be spent that is not going to do any good. Phil commented if the work was being done to the Tippy that would be a good deal, but not dump the problems on somebody else. Phil further commented it is going to push the water faster down to the Tippy. Mike Boldry asked about the culverts at County Roads 450 and 300. Fulton County Surveyor, Don Towne, stated the culverts are on grade, and matched the grade up to them with a tenth grade. Being no further comments, Chairman, Roger Rose, closed the public comment portion of the hearing. Chairman, Roger Rose, commented there have been suggestions made of stretching it to a longer period of time, possibility up to four (4) years, and also there is also a concern about the minimum. After much discussion among the Joint Drainage Board, Chairman, Roger Rose, stated the Board has come up with an amended proposal. Chairman, Roger Rose, commented the amended proposal would include the addressing of logjams from County Road 450 East to the river. Roger also stated the acres from one thousand feet (1000’) west of County Road 450 E west to the railroads tracks will be taken out of the watershed. Chairman, Roger Rose, also commented the proposal would be the adjoining lots where there is a residence that the lots be combined into one and pays one minimum for four (4) years. Chairman Rose commented the proposal for farmland would be assessed at four dollars ($4.00) per benefited acre for four (4) years. Chairman Rose commented between the fourth and fifth year, the Joint Board would propose that the assessment be lowered to one dollar ($1.00) per benefited acre with a five dollar ($5.00) minimum, with adjoining lots taken into consideration and assessed with one minimum. Being no further discussion, Vice Chairman, Ron Truex, made a motion to remove approximately eleven hundred (1100) benefited acres, which is the landowners from one thousand feet (1000’) west of County Road 450 E on west to the railroad; farm ground would be assessed at four dollars ($4.00) per benefited acre for four (4) years; and the lots would be seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) for four (4) years, and any adjoining lot which has no house on it will be combined and assessed one minimum; and between the fourth and fifth year the assessment, depending on where numbers are at that time, would be lowered to one dollar ($1.00) per benefited acre with a five dollar ($5.00) minimum. Sherry Fulton seconded the motion. Being no further discussion, the motion carried five to zero. IT IS NOW ORDERED, by the Fulton County/Kosciusko Drainage Board that the Schedule of Assessment has been approved to establish the maintenance rate on the Chippewanuck Creek, Cause No. 2-2009, #799; in Rochester, Newcastle and Henry Township in Fulton County, Indiana; and Franklin and Seward Townships in Kosciusko County. The said Board orders that one notice be published in this cause of action promptly in the Rochester Sentinel, The Observer and Times Union, newspapers of general circulation throughout Fulton County and Kosciusko County, which notice shall properly identify the drainage proceedings and further state the Findings and Order of said Board has been filed and is available in the Office of the Fulton County Surveyor. Paul Holloway asked, “What if works needs to be done west of the one thousand feet (1000’) west of County Road 450 E; where would the money come from? Chairman, Roger Rose, commented the Joint Drainage Board would address the problem, and it would come out of this maintenance fund, because it is the outlet for said drain. Being no further comments or discussion, Chairman, Roger Rose, entertained a motion to close the Chippewanuck Hearing. Vice Chairman, Ron Truex, made a motion to close the hearing at 8:40 P.M. D.S.T. Sherry Fulton seconded the motion. Motion carried. Chairman, Roger Rose, entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:41 P.M. D.S.T. Sherry Fulton made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:41 P.M. D.S.T. Don Goon seconded the motion. Motion carried.
