Resident tells commissioners Mahoning County, Pulaski Township dispute leaves his Villa Marie Road property without maintenance
Summary
A resident told commissioners out-of-state garbage trucks, poor ditching and a disputed maintenance boundary have left his property at 6972 Villa Marie Road in poor condition and asked officials to inspect and resolve responsibility.
Gary Fiorini of 6972 Villa Marie Road told the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners he has spent about 20 years trying to get the road and roadside in front of his property maintained and that neither the county nor Pulaski Township is taking responsibility.
Fiorini told commissioners a county agreement with Pulaski Township means the township maintains State Line Road but stops at the beginning of his property line; he said the result is a strip of unmaintained land he must constantly repair. “I want something done about it. I mean, I'm getting tired. It's 20 years,” Fiorini said.
He also reported repeated damage from out-of-state garbage trucks that use Stateline and Villa Marie to turn around, saying semi trucks have knocked down mailboxes and damaged yards. Fiorini said he has asked police to call truck companies or use GPS enforcement but was told to handle that himself.
A county official told Fiorini the matter is noted and that follow-up would occur: “You check it in. Thanks. The notes are on my desk,” the official said. The resident asked commissioners to visit the site; the official invited the commissioners to do so and said staff would follow up.
No vote or county commitment of funds was recorded at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to review the complaint and to follow up with the resident.
