Moore <br />Engineering, Inc. continues to work on project design and the items needed to submit a <br />Conditional Letter of Map Revision to FEMA for the project. The next step for the project <br />is to survey along the proposed levee alignment and pond area of the project. Discussion <br />was held on the status of right of way acquisition for the project.

Under the Application, <br />Applicant seeks to install a 101-acre drain tile system in the S 1/2 of Section 23 and the <br />S 1/2 of Section 24 in Cornell Township, Cass County, North Dakota. The project will <br />include a pipeline under and through 137th Avenue SE to connect the systems in the S <br />1/2 of Section 24 and the S 1/2 of Section 23. The project will include a single gravity <br />outlet that will discharge directly into Cass County Drain No. 56 in the SW 1/4 of Section <br />23. Cass County Drain No. 56 is a legal drain owned and operated by the Maple River <br />Water Resource District. <br /> <br />According to County tax roll information supplied by Applicant, Justin Killoran owns the <br />SW 1/4 of Section 24 and 146.11 acres in the SE 1/4 of Section 24; Terence L. Hanley <br />owns the SE 1/4 of Section 23; and Colleen Buhr owns the SW 1/4 of Section 23. <br /> <br />The Board discussed how the project will impact benefits and assessments for Drain No. <br />56. Kurt Lysne indicated the S 1/2 of Section 23 is currently within the Drain No. 56 <br />assessment district, but the S 1/2 of Section 24 is not within the assessment district. <br />More specifically, the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 in Section 24 and the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 in <br />Section 24 are not currently in the Drain No. 56 assessment district. The Board agreed <br />this project, that will utilize Drain No. 56 as an outlet, will provide significant benefits to <br />the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 in Section 24 and the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 in Section 24. The <br />Board concluded that property should be included within the Drain No. 56 assessment <br />district at 100% benefit. <br />
