Dupont orders removal of rocks placed in town right-of-way
Summary
After multiple complaints that rocks placed by a property owner encroached on the town's 20-foot right-of-way and posed a hazard, the Dupont Town Board voted to send a letter ordering removal within 30 days. The board also directed a second letter to resolve an unresolved alley gate dispute with Sparky Beeman.
The Dupont Town Board addressed two right-of-way and alley issues at its Nov. 12 meeting. The board heard complaints that rocks placed along the edge of the road on property owned by Brad Ferguson lie within the town's 20-foot right-of-way from the center of the road and present a hazard to drivers. The board voted to send Mr. Ferguson a letter ordering that the rocks be moved and giving him 30 days to comply.
Separately, the board discussed town alleys and an unresolved dispute with Sparky Beeman, who has a gate up and has refused to move it. The board plans to send a second letter to Beeman requiring removal or other remedial action. Members also noted that rocks and cement blocks at the end of a nearby street must be removed as part of the discussion on a petition to vacate that street.
The minutes record the board's enforcement steps but do not list a specific enforcement ordinance or fine; the board authorized letter-based notice as the next step.
