Committee moves to address plugged culvert on Preserve Road; farmer requests wider opening
Summary
A farmer reported a plugged culvert on Preserve Road; the committee discussed jetting, replacing the 20-foot culvert with a 40-foot culvert for farm machinery, or removing it and graveling the entrance. Members will bring a recommendation to the board.
Frank reported a farmer had notified the village that a culvert on Preserve Road was plugged and requested a 40-foot culvert to accommodate large agricultural equipment. "He said it's plugged," Frank said. Committee members discussed options including jetting the culvert, installing a 40-foot culvert or removing the culvert and putting gravel across the entrance as a practical solution to allow access without repeated maintenance.
Members said the drainage impact appears limited to roughly 300 feet and noted that any permanent changes should be discussed with the property owner and be brought to the board for approval. The committee asked staff to include the culvert recommendation on the next board agenda.
