JACKSON TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS
The Regular Meeting of the Jackson Township Supervisors was called to order at 7:03pm by Chairman Walt Barnes
Present were Supervisors Walter Barnes, Frank VanDelinder, the Secretary, and 6 guests.
**********************************************
Visitors were acknowledged at this time: Clyde Gilbert reported vehicles parked in the road on White Road. He contacted the planning commissioners about junk at the property in regards to possible violation of the county’s junk yard ordinance. The planning commission will look into it. C Gilbert talked to the state police about the vehicles parked in the road right of way. Since the township sent the landowner a letter about parking in the right of way the state police will only visit the site if the township contacts them.
J. Bennett expressed concern about the stream eroding around the box culvert under SR328 on the Bennett property. He also expressed concerned about the erosion on the farm adjacent to the stream. F VanDelinder suggested he contact DEP or the Conservation District about stream permits.
C Gilbert expressed concern that the little white house being built on White Rd. does not have a sewer permit.
