Dupont orders protective fence near railroad, to reinstall stop sign; board to send violation letters
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting Dupont’s board approved plans to put up a protective fence near the Madison Railroad (set 9'8" from the track centerline with a five-foot easement), will reinstall a stop sign at South and NW Front Street when the fence is installed, and directed letters to multiple property owners for trash/debris and roadside hazards.
The Dupont Town Board on Dec. 10 discussed and recorded several public-works and code-enforcement items, including a coordinated fence installation with Madison Railroad, reinstallation of a stop sign, and letters to property owners over ordinance violations.
Town officials said negotiations with Madison Railroad secured use of an additional five-foot easement and that the town will install a protective fence positioned 9 feet, 8 inches from the center of the tracks. Clerk/Treasurer Robyn Meek told the board the fence has been ordered and that she met with Adam from the railroad to confirm placement.
Board members agreed to reinstall a stop sign at the corner of South and NW Front Street and to do that work at the same time crews install the new fence along the railroad right-of-way. The board also discussed reviewing town alleys for cleanup and handling a property dispute in which a gate placed by Sparky Beeman remains; the board directed that a second letter be sent to Beeman demanding removal.
Separately, the board recorded multiple noncompliance properties that will receive letters under the town’s trash-and-debris ordinance. The owners named for letters were Larry Andres, Marty Colyer, Keith Warren and Anne Read. The board also noted complaints about rocks placed along the roadway at Brad Ferguson’s property; a first letter has been sent and a second letter will follow if the rocks are not removed.
All bills and vouchers were signed and reviewed. The board adjourned and scheduled its next regular meeting for Jan. 14, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.
