Disabled/Low income Driveway/Berm Snow Removal Form (new for 2024-2025)

Road District #8 may be able to plow your driveway and remove the berm left by the snow plow in Winter. According to the Special Road District #8 By-Laws, the owner/occupant of the property is responsible for removing the snow berm left by the snow plow.

However, if no person in the household is physically able to remove the berm/clear driveway nor financially able to contract for its removal, it may be removed by the District subject to a physician’s recommendation and demonstration of insufficient income for removal by a third party. We revised the policy during the meeting of January 17, 2023. See New guidelines on the form attached below.

The District’s intention is to verify need and finances in a more systematic and fair way then we have in the past. We contacted the County Road Department about their Snow Berm Removal policy and have developed an equivalent policy that we will be put in place on January 1, 2023.

A Big THANK YOU to all the individuals who remove berms and clear driveways for their neighbors! (Please do not clear snow from roads!) We have a number of community-minded residents who help out their neighbors by doing this and other chores to allow our members who are elderly, infirm or otherwise need it to continue to live independently.
