The Emerald Drive improvement was completed. Some residents were concerned about the depth of the ditch by the cul-de-sac. Supervisors thought it was good depth and board will mow ditch. After discussion board will wait until spring for road improvement to settle then evaluate need for dirt or plant additional grass.
The township received a complaint of messy lot on Lady Lake. After discussion the board does not feel the township should judge landowners yards, but wishes all property owners keep their lots reasonably clean.
