Valparaiso trustees will ask landowners about development before proceeding with $7,000 Oak Street survey
Summary
Trustees voted to send letters to nearby landowners asking their immediate development plans before the board proceeds with a $7,000 survey bid for Oak Street, citing the potential effect of private development on the town's investment.
During ongoing business at the July 8 meeting Chairperson Dan Homes raised a reported basement water issue and trustees discussed a separate planning matter: a $7,000 bid for a survey on Oak Street. Trustees expressed concern that imminent private development could affect whether the village should invest in the survey now.
Trustee Turnwall moved and Trustee Brightenburg seconded a motion to first send letters to the relevant landowners asking for their immediate development intent before the village proceeds with the survey work. The motion carried unanimously. The board noted that unkept properties have been improving and that a list of such properties will be circulated to trustees before the next meeting.
No further survey expenditures were approved at the meeting; the decision to commission the Oak Street survey will depend on landowner responses and subsequent board discussion.
