Mark Miller, Corinna Township maintenance. Corinna Township provides these maintenance services: Brush removal: Brush and overhanging tree limb removal is the responsibility of the property owner along dedicated roads. Some roads are becoming so overgrown that the plows and grader have difficulty getting through. If you need help, the Township can do the trimming at a reduced charge.911 Signs: The maintenance men place the posts and 911 signs (address signs). Please report missing or damaged 911 signs or street signs to the Clerk or maintenance men. The signs will be replaced as quickly as possible. Swing Away Mailbox Supports: The mailbox supports are available for $42, including tax. Contact the Clerk. Gravel for Dedicated Roads: Gravel is available for $3/yd delivered and spread for all dedicated roads. Contact the maintenance men for an estimate of the amount needed for your road. One person will be billed and this person will need to collect from the other property owners. Driveway Culverts: When a new home or a second driveway needs a culvert, the Township men will order the correct size of culvert. Snowplowing and Grading: The Township maintenance men make every effort to provide a high level of service when it comes to snowplowing and grading and maintaining the roads. The men also mow the ditches, open culverts, keep the roads clear, patch the potholes, add gravel to the roads and shoulders, and more. Instead of renting this year, the Township will be purchasing a packer that will be used after gravel is applied. Snowplowing will generally be done when there is an accumulation of two inches or more. Plowing and sanding are scheduled to have the roads in the best travel condition during heavy use periods. Do not push snow onto roads!!! Do not park cars, trucks or other vehicles on the road right off way!!! The removal of snow is one of the most important jobs confronting our maintenance crew during the winter season. Safety for the motorist and serviceability of the roads are also the primary consideration of our maintenance crew. Only mailboxes and fences properly located and installed that are damaged by actual contact with township equipment will be repaired by township expense. Depositing snow onto or across a public road is illegal and punishable under Minnesota Statute 160.27. Placing snow onto a public road can be a road hazard…such as a slippery area, a frozen rut or bump…which can cause a traffic accident. This liability can extend to both the property owner and the person who actually placed the snow onto the roadway. You can help: Provide off road parking for all of your vehicles and trailers, and inform the Township of especially bad road problems. Posting of Roads: During the Spring break-up, all Township gravel roads have a 5-ton load limit and paved roads have a 7-ton limit unless otherwise posted. This goes into effect when the County posts their roads.
