Summary
William Barr, of 1192 Aura Road, told the Elk Township Combined Planning and Zoning Board that work by a neighboring company identified in the minutes as Eaise Landscaping has redirected stormwater onto his property and that dirt and dust from workers are affecting his yard; the board advised him to raise the matter with the Township Committee on Nov. 7, 2024.
William Barr of 1192 Aura Road told the Elk Township Combined Planning and Zoning Board during the meeting's public-comment period that his front yard floods when it rains and that recent work by a neighboring company identified in the minutes as Eaise Landscaping — including an added building and new curbing and paving — has redirected stormwater onto his property instead of into the stormwater basin.
Barr also said dirt and dust from workers entering the neighboring property have been carried onto his yard. The minutes record that Mr. Cheney directed Barr to raise the issue at the Elk Township Committee meeting scheduled for Nov. 7, 2024. The planning-board minutes do not show any formal investigation or board action in response to his complaint.
No developer or company representative is recorded responding in these minutes, and the matter is not resolved by the planning board in the meeting record. The minutes advise the resident to bring the concern to the township committee for further consideration.
