The Board noted receipt of a recommendation from Kanwaka Township to rescind the "minimum maintenance" designation currently in effect for a portion of E 650 Road between 1590 N and County Route 442 (N 1600 Road). The Kanwaka Township Board conducted a public hearing to accept comments regarding the required recommendation to be made to Douglas County on the matter. The Kanwaka Township Board has determined the "minimum maintenance" designation should be rescinded.
Scott Stockwell, nearby property owner, was present for the discussion. Stockwell expressed frustrations regarding a recently obtained building permit. However, after the permit was issued, it was determined that since he would be taking access off of the minimum maintenance road, the permit is not valid. It should be noted that the portion of E 650 Road Stockwell would be utilizing for access is not included in the request. Stockwell noted significant costs associated with taking access off of Stull Road.
McElhaney noted Kanwaka Township's desire to lift the minimum maintenance designation, however the current request is for five hundred feet (500').
