Discuss/Action re: B Batterman water issue – B Batterman, owner of parcel 058/0811-262-9811-0, there is a natural water course runs through his property into the parcel 058/0811-262-9800-9. He has tried numerous times to contact the owner, parcel 058/0811-262-9800-9, with no response. The culvert bridge is obstructed causing the natural water course to be blocked. He has asked the Town for help resolving the issue. L Updike advised him to contact our local neighborhood deputy, Deputy Nelson, to see if there is anything he can do to help resolve the issue. B Batterman was asked to keep the board informed. No action taken.
Discuss/Action re: G Seltzner – CSM: L Updike stated he has had no contact since their roadside conversation. The new survey was completed, property stakes were marked, fence posts installed; L Updike personally donated a roll of woven wire on behalf of the town. This should fulfill the town’s landowner obligation on fencing. Town’s position is that Pierceville Road is a 4-rod road per survey. G Seltzner’s position is that Pierceville Road is a 3-rod road. L Updike told him the town would need written communication from him stating his position and the town would refer it to the town attorney. L Updike offered G Seltzner the larger trees from the road right-of-way for fire wood and the town would finish the clearing and cleanup of the small trees and brush. No action taken.
