Summary

Commissioners reviewed a photograph of objects placed across a White Marsh driveway that have been moved but still obstruct access; staff said the sheriff contacted the landowner and commissioners discussed certified-letter documentation and no‑parking signage to enable enforcement.

Commission staff presented a photograph of a resident placing objects at a driveway entrance on White Marsh Road that obstructed vehicle access into the driveway and partially blocked the highway shoulder. Commissioners said the obstruction had been moved further into the yard but still created a hazard for delivery vehicles and farm traffic; one commissioner suggested posting no‑parking signs and coordination with the sheriff for enforcement.

A commissioner asked whether Sheriff Turner had issued a certified letter to the landowner and renter; another commissioner said a certified letter would provide a clear, signed record of notification. Staff agreed to share information with the sheriff's office and explore placement of no‑parking signs and enforcement options if the obstruction persists.
