Public comment: Ken Anderson asked what was happening with West Adney Lane. He and the others that were at the meeting said they didn’t care if it was blacktopped but they would like to have it plowed in the winter. Les said the township had plowed it in error and it is like a driveway that the property owners need to plow. Ken said they hadn’t received any updates from Mark Wessels. The clerk said she sent the property owners a letter regarding West Adney Lane.
Gene Moritz asked if anything was being done about the water on his property. Les said we are going to put in a couple of bigger culverts going east to west. Les said he talked to the Corp of Engineers, and they would not grant us a permit to go across the wetlands. Les said when the previous board dug the ditch all the wetland regulations we now have were not in place. Gene said the ditch needs to be plugged so his property doesn’t flood. Gene asked Les if he could check into what could be done to fix the problem and get a cost estimate. Les said he would try to contact the permit people for wetlands again to see if we have any options. Gene said the beaver dam on the state land was tore out by the township. Les said he will talk to Tim and let him know not to remove the beaver dam on state property.
