6. Public Comment: -Steve & Julie Dickson asked the board, if or how they could obtain the rights to the township road that leads to their home. They indicated that the neighborhood has been evolving and only cars needing to turn around come down the road. As with other inquiries the homeowner would have to incur all costs involving taking the rights of the road. In this instance Dickson’s would have to get an easement from the school.
