A new asphalt parking lot to the west of the First Christian Church may be a welcome addition for members of the congregation, but not so much for the Scott County Library less than a half block to the south. Concerns with the flow of water off the asphalt surface were raised during Monday’s Scott City Council meeting. Because the library is at a lower elevation than the parking lot, water will inevitably flow in that direction. … The council decided that if there are any issues with drainage they will need to be resolved between the church and
the county since the library is county-owned. However, it also raised the need for large, flat work – parking lots, concrete foundations, etc., to be approved by the city. “At this time the city does not require permitting for flat work, but that’s going to change,” said City Administrator Brad Pendergast.
