A resident told the Highway Committee that a Fredonia-area homeowner, Jeremy Jenkins of 71 Crimson Lane, is not receiving mail delivery because the lane is gravel and not listed on the county road inventory. "They will not deliver his mail," Carolyn, a resident who raised the matter, told the committee.

The issue matters for property access and service delivery: staff confirmed the road does not appear on the county's published road list and said that many unfinished development roads in Fredonia Village had not been completed to standards that allow routine postal service. Committee members urged the resident to pursue remedies with the developer and real estate agent and said the department would "dig into it" and follow up with the resident.

Separately, the committee discussed mailbox placement and safety for farm equipment and passing vehicles. Highway staff reminded the group that there is a regulation governing mailbox placement and described commonly used placement measurements: "6 to 8 inches from the edge of the pavement" for the front of the mailbox and a bottom height of "41 to 45 inches from the road surface," staff said. Committee members said mailboxes placed at or near the pavement edge create hazards for farm equipment and for drivers who must pass closely when meeting slow-moving vehicles.

No formal policy change or enforcement action was taken at the meeting. Staff said they would investigate whether Crimson Lane should be added to the county road list and would follow up with the resident on options; the committee reiterated that private-developer-built roads may not automatically receive county services until they are accepted by the county.
