The culvert has been temporarily taken off line. Because the utilities under the road are already installed, they are unable to connect this pipe to the drainage system. At this point, they are proposing to extend the pipe and tie it into the stream. There are no changes expected to the hydrology. Questions and comments from the commission: The commission requested that a grate be put at the end of the pipe to keep animals out. The applicant agreed.
