A. Brush Pick Up
Mr. Riedel reported that Fremont Township will change how they manage brush pick-up. Beginning on or around September 17, 2018, brush will no longer be picked up for recycling at residential homes in Fremont Township by demand. The township is working with the different subdivisions within Fremont Township to schedule twice yearly pick-ups at residential homes. Extra pick up events may occur following extreme weather events, as necessary.
B. Paving Water Main Breaks
It was clarified that if a road or driveway has to be opened up following a water main repair due to a water main break, it is the responsibility of the homeowner association, or private homeowner, to have the road, or driveway, repaired. Fremont Township is not responsible for repairing the road following this scenario.
C. Forest Water Main Project
Fremont Township is considering adding a storm sewer along Forest Lane. They will work with WSP to coordinate and collaborate on the engineering and permit process so that the storm sewer can be installed at the same time as the new water main. Fremont Township may be responsible for the cost of the road repair following the installation of the new storm sewer.
D. Fairview Drainage at New House
Fremont Township will look into installing storm drain and/or catch basin on Fairview drive to help alleviate the storm water drainage onto the road adjacent to a newly constructed home.
Mr. Riedel responded to questions from Real Estate Agent, Cathy Stavropoulos (representing a potential buyer) that the unpaved section of Forest Lane (between “new” Forest and Lane “old” Forest Lane is currently under strong consideration to be paved in the near future.
