WATER PROBLEM – WOODLAND TERRACE

Pat Miller E4455 479th Ave, he called Frank and said water is coming off the hill behind his house and causing damage. Frank said it appears to be coming from the cul-de-sac. Frank said trees have been removed which could be causing the excess water. Jeff and Cody mowed behind his house to see if they could determine the path. Frank suggested using a backhoe and divert the water to the culvert.

Ed questioned if this water problem was caused from a town road? Frank stated no. The board agreed that this falls back on to Pat Miller and he must correct it. If the township fixes the water problem, then the township would be tied to the problem if it was not corrected. Frank will contact him and suggest what could be done. The board will go look at the property next week. ESW HOST FEE’S

Frank received an email from Doug Gowland owner of ESW asking for the host fees be waved for 2016 & 2017. He stated that ESW has spent $500,000.00 in effort to control the odors and because of this cost, he is asking for the fee’s to be waved.

Frank stated he would like to see the breakdown of the $500,000.00. The board is not in favor of waving the fee’s. Frank will contact the County and discuss with them that the township would like to not wave the fee’s as Mr. Gowland has requested.
