If you do not put in a “Grandfather” clause on the new zoning ordinance, you will incur and lose a court challenge. I will cite the City of New Haven v s Flying J truckstops as recently as fall 2009.

The new zoning ordinances will apply from the approval date forward – all land uses that were “conforming” the day before the new ordinances are approved will still be valid on the day after – but any changes to “old” land uses may be required to conform to the new ordinances.
In other words, the new zoning ordinances will not be applied retroactively.

we need to know what the ordinance is in regards to someone cutting a field tile that prevents the runoff of ground water from surrounding properties and causes said properties to in some cases to stand in ankle deep water for several days. We would like to have the ordinance number for legal reasons.

Regulation of drainage (field tiles) is a matter for the County Surveyor or the County Highway Department or another County department only if it involves interference with public right of way or public property, like a regulated county drain or interference with public roads. Otherwise, drainage tile is usually a private matter between neighboring landowners. Where there is new construction (like a development or subdivision), the County Zoning can require that matters of run-off, erosion, and drainage be addressed. Unfortunately, Indiana law is not well-developed in matters concerning field tiles. If your situation does not involve interference with public access or right of way, you should talk to your attorney about your options.
