Makanda board reiterates stance against assuming Stone Creek road maintenance amid de‑annexation talks
Summary
Trustees said the village remains unwilling to assume maintenance of Stone Creek Subdivision roads and flagged concerns that a de‑annexation could affect property along Virginia Drive and Apple Creek Golf Course's liquor license.
The board discussed a recent inquiry from Beck Simonds about the possible de‑annexation of Stone Creek Subdivision. The minutes say the subdivision previously asked the village to maintain their roads and that the village did not agree to take over maintenance. President Tina Shingleton reported consulting legal counsel, who advised that if Stone Creek de‑annexes, the de‑annexation should not include Apple Creek Golf Course; the golf course's liquor license would be Apple Creek's discretion.
The board reiterated it is not inclined to accept road maintenance responsibility for Stone Creek and asked the subdivision to confirm its plans if it moves forward with de‑annexation. President Shingleton said she will contact Beck Simonds to follow up. The minutes do not show any binding action — only that the board reaffirmed the 2022 letter on the topic and raised specific concerns about Virginia Drive parcels and the liquor license.
