The BoS reviewed a revised plan by Gary Strausser to convert a temporary road into a township maintained road that serves as the entrance to the Riverview recreation center and extend the sidewalks along the road.
Under questioning from the BoS, the representative from Strausser Enterprises informed the BoS they had transferred the deed to one of the lots in the plan to the Riverview Homeowners association. This means a portion of the land development plan submitted by Strausser Enterprises was not owned by Gary Strausser. Go Figure!
Based upon this revelation, the BoS agreed with a proposal to deny the land development application based upon two reasons. First, the agreed upon improvements to Phase 1 of Riverview estates were not completed. Second, Gary Strausser submitted a land development for a property did he not own.
I must admit to an active involvement in the debate between the BoS, the Strausser representative, and the public. I was appalled the Forks Planning Commission was not informed that Gary Strausser did not own all the land contained in the land development submission. It seems weird this critical fact was missing from the developer presentation to the Planning Commission. How does that happen?
I am very supportive of the BoS decision to reject the land development plan. I welcome the opportunity for the Planning Commission to review a valid land development plan for the Riverview Estates Recreation Center.
Get Involved! Every Voice Counts!
