Amor Township Minutes For
June 9, 2021
Special meeting was called to order by Chairman Eric Roberts at 6:30pm. at the Peterson property on Amor Township Drive. Others in attendance were Supervisor Mike Holstrom, Supervisor Kerry Baumgartner, Clerk Brenda Hildebrand, Treasurer Lori Holmgren, Jason Butts; Attorney for the Petersons, Dain, Angie, and Nate Peterson, and Jim and Sandy Batcha.
The meeting was to discuss vacating the cartway easement on the Peterson property that allows Batcha's to access their property on Amor Township Drive. Batchas’ purchased the property on the eastside. It is landlocked. The easement was put in place by the township board at that time to correct this issue. Batcha has since bought surrounding and adjacent property that could be used to access his property on the eastside. After some discussion from both sides and looking over the property, the board will contact the township attorney and go from there. Batchas did not support the idea of vacating the easement. Meeting was tabled until more information is available.
