602.2.C Cartway Widening
701 Stormwater Report

Mr. Bitner advised that he walked the roadway from the driveway to the intersection with the state highway. He feels that the deterioration of the roadway in that area is due to the trucks coming to and from Mr. Langletz’s business. H said he proposed that Mr. Langletz do base repair and the township would do the scratch coat. He advised that they could not come to an agreement.
