“I have a dune that is literally covering my house,” Moravec told the Van Buren County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.
Moravec lives in the Syndicate Park development north of the North Point Conservation Area, county property that is north of Van Buren State Park along the Lake Michigan shoreline. She said the county’s sand is covering three-quarters of her property.
The sand is coming from a sand dune owned by the county...
When a DNR employee showed up at her home one day, according to Moravec, the employee had to wade through knee-deep sand to get to the door. In winter the sand can be hip-deep, she said, and doors get blocked. “I want to preserve the dune,” Moravec said, but she also wants the sand off her property, which is surrounded by county-owned land.
Afterward the board meeting, Moravec told the Kalamazoo Gazette her next step is to get an attorney. “It’s an illegal taking of my property,” she said of the county allowing sand to migrate onto her property"
