Zoning Report:

Road Superintendent:

Mr. Kelley reported that Scheid and Wood Road repaving projects were completed, and less than the allotted tonnage of asphalt was needed.  Trustees commented on the high quality work completed on these projects by Groton, Margaretta, and Oxford Townships’ personnel.  Mr. Kelley reported they would start laying stone for the berm on these roads as soon as work in Margaretta Township is complete.

Trustees:

Mr. Leber advised he had submitted the townships rough plans for a storage building to Country Metals for additional ideas or suggestions for building.

Mr. Parker stated he had attended two Erie Regional Planning Commission sessions for grading applications for grants from the Ohio Public Works Commission.   He shared some details with the other trustees for general knowledge.

Mr. Stewart reported he had been contacted by a NEXUS gas line representative who is  attempting to close out any claims for road damage due to gas line construction. Mr. Stewart advised NEXUS to contact the Erie County Engineer’s Office as they are our representative per the Road Use Maintenance Agreement the Oxford Township signed with the county and the county negotiated  with NEXUS.  All trustees agreed it was far too early to settle or even submit any claims for damage as construction was not complete.  Damage has been observed on Harris and Thomas Roads.

Communications:

Communications were reviewed.
