Sanford residents urge cleanup of debris in waterway adjacent to homes
Summary
At the May 7, 2026 Planning Committee meeting, two Sanford residents told the committee they are concerned about debris in a local waterway adjacent to their properties and were advised to contact the Four Lakes Task Force for assistance.
Resident Gloria Cooper told the Village of Sanford Planning Committee on May 7, 2026, that debris in the waterway next to her property at 10 Pine St. is a continuing problem and a cause for concern. She said she had brought the issue to the committee to seek help with removal or remediation.
Resident Linda Zimmerman of 11 Poplar echoed Cooper’s concerns, saying she had already spoken with Dave Rothman of the Four Lakes Task Force (FLTF), who she said was aware of the issue. Both residents were advised by committee members to contact the FLTF directly for follow-up.
The committee did not take formal action on the matter during the meeting. Committee members advised residents to pursue the FLTF as the appropriate organization to address debris in the waterway. The Planning Committee’s next meeting is scheduled for June 2, 2026, when it will review the Master Plan and a Capital Improvement Plan; residents may raise the issue again or bring new information to that meeting.
