Guest Comments:

A. Several residents of Dillingham Estates were concerned about the lack of the yard and building upkeep at one of the properties in the development.  They advised there is overgrown weeds, grass, and bushes requiring more frequent maintenance. A snowplow and trailer have been parked in the driveway for some time, and the home is vacant until completion of interior remodeling. A notice of violation was already issued regarding an unlicensed vehicle on the property. There is no active Homeowner Association at this time and board members asked if this might be reactivated to address upkeep of the property. Ordinance violations will be reviewed with the township attorney, and the township inspector has agreed to follow-up with the owner on plans and permits of interior restoration. The current owner is living in Clinton.
