Underground propane field in Cattail Creek subdivision

Summary

The Cattail Creek propane facility was installed closer to Barratts Chapel Road than its 2024 waiver allowed, and its approval expired. Eighty-one homes already depend on it; moving the tanks would cut off service, so the applicant is seeking retroactive relief and offered to fence the tanks.
