Village board acknowledges contested driveway after Main Street parking complaints
Summary
The Kellnersville Village Board acknowledged a disputed driveway at 1224 Main Street, advising property owners to resolve use between them and directing the constable to ticket vehicles parked in a newly yellowed curb zone; the board said county and post-office rules limit a full 24-hour parking ban.
President Don Dietrich called the Village of Kellnersville meeting to order on March 9 and opened a public hearing on a neighbor dispute at 1224 Main Street over vehicles blocking the narrow path residents use as a driveway. Dietrich said he painted the curb yellow to discourage parking and had spoken with the U.S. Postal Service, which told him a resident may post restricted-parking signage for mail-delivery times but that because the road is a county highway, a 24-hour restriction is not permitted by the county.
A subsequent land survey and property records review showed no recorded driveway for 1224 Main Street; the path in use is partly owned by the adjacent property at 1228 Main Street. The records also show an easement granting driveway access behind the house to KBA Lane. Trustee Scott Totten moved to "acknowledge the driveway with the understanding that use of the driveway is to be determined by the property owners of 1224 Main Street and 1228 Main Street," and Trustee Jason Kolb seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
The board instructed residents to notify Constable Ron Kohlbeck if vehicles block the yellow-marked curb so the constable can issue parking tickets. The board did not enact any new ordinance or 24-hour parking restriction; it advised residents to contact the post office and Manitowoc County if they wish to pursue enforcement or signage options beyond what the village can do.
