Jul 14, 2026

The full story

During public comment, resident Barry Turkovics described ongoing nuisance and blight conditions at 4421 Crosby Rd., saying: "There are 3 vehicles not plated in between this house and his house. The grass has not been mowed, and I have seen raccoons come out of the tall grass. The previous owner passed and his son owns the property now and has sold the property under a land contract." Turkovics also reported seeing a deer carcass near a barn and piles of junk next to a fence line and requested that township staff inspect the property and walk the site with him.
