Council Vice President Kern- 079R-22 is a resolution to authorize Road widening, there’s a number of County Roadways in our Township that need to be widened and to be set up for future use. The County needs to step up and be able to set up these Roadways so there is not traffic the likes of which we have not had in this Township since he has been here. All these different roadways have to be widened and needs to be addressed now before the town becomes densely populated 571,527,528 and then 547 before the town gets more densely populated.
ELEANOR HANNUM – JACKSON RESIDENT – Ms. Hannum agrees that widening the roads for the population. For Cedar Swamp Road which is 527 asked how this town or County would they widen that road without bringing it to resident’s front doors. Council President Flemming What this Resolution is doing is offering Township property for the County, it is all that this resolution is allowing. Stated we have nothing to do with County Planning and County Engineering we’re just offering up what we own to make it easier for them to do so. Ms. Hannum asked how long residents would be given notice. She has concerns about Cedar Swamp Road and how close those homes are.
Attorney Greg McGuckin stated the resolution is only to authorize a dedication for Township land. It has nothing to do with other private potential dominant domain projects that the County may have to undertake over the next 50 years.
