Road Department
Milton Township Road Department
Doug has a vast knowledge of maintaining roadways and equipment, having worked at Lytle Construction in a Supervisory position for 16 years prior to being appointed to the Milton Township Road Superintendent position. Doug is responsible for maintaining 33 miles of roads, ditches, and culverts in the township, plowing snow in the winter, and maintaining the vehicles, equipment, and township signs throughout the year.
Ditches in the township are typically mowed three times per year. The Trustees ask that all residents help keep the ditches clean and free of debris that would have the potential to clog a culvert or damage the mower. The road department also uses the road grader to berm the edges when sod gets higher than the road surface. Occasionally during this process, a small portion of the residential yard surface may be affected, but this is necessary to help remove standing water from the roadway and direct it to the ditch.
In the fall, we ask that residents check to make sure their mailboxes and posts are secure, as we are not responsible for mailboxes that might get knocked down from the weight of plowed snow.
A culvert permit is required before the installation of a culvert or yard ditch enclosure if you live on a township road. The cost of the permit is $30.00 and the form is available on this website and should be mailed to:
Milton Township Trustees, P.O. Box 205, Sterling, OH 44276
Milton Township currently has part-time road employees, Dale Glessner and Adam Aubrey. They assist Doug with plowing snow, mowing, and on special projects for the township.
Doug and his wife, Debbie have 2 sons and have lived in Milton Township all of their lives. Doug can be reached at the township garage located behind Winkler Tire Center on Kauffman Avenue in Sterling, 13831 Kauffman Avenue, or by email at: dougrupp@miltonsterling.org
Culvert Permit Form
In Milton Township, obtaining a permit is essential for the installation of culverts, driveways, and yard pipes. This permit ensures that these construction activities adhere to local regulations and guidelines, promoting safety and proper infrastructure development. An application fee of $30 is required to initiate the permitting process, which covers administrative costs and helps support the maintenance and oversight of these installations within the township. This proactive approach benefits both residents and the community by ensuring that construction projects are well-planned and executed, minimizing potential disruptions and enhancing the overall aesthetic and functional quality of the area.
