Commissioners direct contact with property owner over clogged creek, request tree trimming on Third Street
Summary
Board members agreed to ask the rental owner to clear debris clogging the creek between High and Depot streets and to notify Jeremy Mabrey to trim trees obstructing Third Street traffic.
Members of the New Haven Board of Commissioners agreed August 15 to pursue property-owner action after residents reported a blocked creek and to request tree trimming where limbs impede traffic.
The minutes state there have been multiple complaints about a creek running from High Street to Depot Street that is stopped up with debris. Commissioners concluded the debris appears to come from rental property owned by Levi Wooldridge and reached consensus to ask him to clean the creek near his rental houses. Commissioner Ruth Faulkner said she would contact property manager Dooley Mattingly, who manages the property for Levi Wooldridge, to seek remediation.
Commissioners also noted that trees belonging to Jeremy Mabrey are impeding traffic on Third Street. The board agreed to contact Mr. Mabrey and inform him he needs to trim the trees.
The minutes record the board's direction to contact property representatives but do not record any enforcement action, timelines for compliance, or penalties if the problems are not addressed. No formal citations or fines were recorded in the minutes.
