HOMEOWNER FORUM – PUBLIC COMMENT
Fremont Township Highway Commissioner Alicia Dodd presented a map detailing the small stream that runs under West Shore Drive and along (new) Forest Lane and into the Miller Park Channel. The walls of the stream are collapsing between two Forest Lane homes. Fremont Township is working with the homeowners bordering the stream to address the issue. This may include filling in the open stream between the two homes and continuing the current path of the stream underground through pipes into the channel. Fremont Township requested permission to remove silt that has built-up along a stretch of seawall north of the WSPC block 2 beach. This is to provide the required compensatory storage area from covering over the small portion of land where the stream currently runs between the two Forest Lane homes. Fremont Township is investigating grant money to help off-set the estimated cost of this project.
Alicia Dodd of Fremont Township issued a “Thank you,” to the West Shore Park Volunteers who participated in the road-side clean-up event along route 60/83 on April 22. Fremont Township is hoping to make the clean-up an event that occurs a couple times a year.
Larry Bakirtjy requested that Fremont Township assess a damaged area and patch a large pot-hole on Oakdale Lane.
Lynn Manhard from Taylor Lake Court reported a concern about boats (some with skiers) coming too close to shore near the Taylor Lake Court homes and requested buoys to be installed to keep boaters farther from the shore. It was explained that this request and concern should be brought to the Mundelein Park District. WSPC cannot insert or move the general buoys placed by the park district (except for our WSPC beach markers).
