HARRISON TOWNSHIP — The first public hearing for the North Blom Drive and Cloverleaf Street special assessment district was held at the Jan. 22 Harrison Township Board of Trustees meeting. Out of all the affected residents for the road and drainage repair project, more than a dozen attended with most being against the project. Disparities between the two pavement parts of the project were a common complaint among residents. Asphalt sections at the entrance of the SAD will receive new asphalt while concrete sections further inside the subdivision will see a mix of replacement concrete and crack sealing. The 47 affected concrete lots will pay nearly $7,000 over the 10-year life of the assessment while the 23 asphalt lots pay nearly $14,000. “(Asphalt lots are) getting a new road. We’re getting squiggles,” said Susan Watroba, an affected resident. “(It is) $7,000 for black squiggles, which is going to really devalue the sub. It’s going to look hideous. … If you’re going to do it, do the whole road. I’ll pay for concrete.” Several residents questioned why the two pavement types were combined into one project. Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest, who lives on the concrete portion of North Blom, said combining them was an attempt to balance project costs. “I’d rather pay nothing,” Verkest said. “I’d rather see the asphalt done and not pay a dime, but I recognize that the cost is so prohibitive that it will never get done, so we talked to the attorney to see if there’s some creative way (the concrete lots) could participate. … If anybody in our subdivision thinks that the concrete is so bad that it needs to be replaced, that’s silly. But if there’s no benefit to the folks that live in the concrete
