Willow Grove drainage and the Kleinpeter development
St. George
Summary
Settlers Circle residents described years of street flooding and demanded drainage fixes before any new development upstream. The Kleinpeter concept-plan revision failed when no motion carried, but the underlying flooding problem — and the property's permissive zoning — remains unresolved.

Impact analysis
The city already spent over $20,000 fixing one drainage defect, and new development could add runoff to an overwhelmed 24-inch pipe.
If eventually approved, the Kleinpeter family gains buildable lots; residents want binding drainage guarantees first.
Roughly 17 homes in the Settlers Circle 'bowl' already flood during intense rains and fear new runoff will make it worse.
