Grant County Commissioners Minutes
Week of February 16, 2015
In early January 2015 Grant County Public Works (GCPW)crews noticed 18"culvert pipe
being installed in the County Road Right-of-Way at this location and contacted Michael �
Skeels. Public Works discussed with Mr. Skeels that thls work needs to be permitted and
a Franchise approved since the pipes are running parallel along the road.
There is currently an existing line running south, approximately 1,000 feet in length,
parallel to County Road V-NW to the intersection of 9-NW and runs into a canal. The
pipe appears to be 18"culvert pipe and has been in place for quite some time. GCPW
has no record or franchise of this existing pipe.
Grant County Public Works has the following comments on this franchise:
• The adjacent property owner is the applicant of the franchise.
• GCPW standards require water lines to have 4'of minimum cover,
currently the pipes that have been p/aced would only have 1'-2'of cover
and would interfere with Road Maintenance Activities(shoulder&
ditching workJ
• The pipes were not connected per GCPW standards, no bands or collars
were used.
• The 18"culvert pipes combined are over 800 feet in length, cleaning and
debris remova/would be very difficult.
Based on the following comments, the County Road Engineer recommends that this
franchise application be denied, that the culvert pipes in this location be removed from
the County Road Right-of-Way and the area cleaned-up. Mr. Skeels can install this line
on his own property and tie into the existing structures. �
Discussion ensued and the Commissioners looked at the pictures provided by the Public Works i
Director.
Michael Skeels, applicant, discussed the history of the irrigation on his property and how its ',
currently irrigated.
Commissioner Swartz asked if Mr. Skeels if he conferred with this with Public Works on the ��
installation of this culvert pipe in the County Right-of-Way. He stated no, he didn't think about �
it. Discussion ensued. i
Commissioner Swartz moved to close the public comment portion of the hearing, Commissioner I
Carter seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Carter moved to approve i
the recommendation of the Public Works Director and deny this franchise application.
Commissioner Swartz seconded and the motiorr passed with all Commissioners in attendance. '�
The meeting adjourned. �
3:00 p.m.—3;15 p,m. Consent Agenda (Items 1 through 14)
