Residents press trustees on blight, boundary disputes and retaining‑wall requirements

Three residents used the public‑comment period to raise property issues. The resident at 213 Front Street asked about village enforcement for blighted properties; President McLimans said nuisance property ordinances apply and asked residents to report specific cases to trustees, the clerk, or Chief Small. A resident at 430 Mill Street presented a survey from Austin Engineering and complained his neighbor’s structure and a shed encroached on his lot; trustees told him this is a private legal matter and recommended consulting an attorney. A resident at 319 Bowery Street objected to a required retaining wall on a new home that would block yard access and force removal of a long‑grown mountain ash tree; McLimans offered to meet with Building Inspector Josh Copsey on site to review the requirement.
