III. ANNOUNCEMENT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION:

Mr. Tilley provided a summary of the executive session(s) held before the current meeting. (Copy attached) Mr. Albert announced that the Board had held an Executive Hearing at the Police Department to discuss a Police matter.

IV. RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC:

Michael Thompson wanted information on the enforcement status of the Bolger property. Mr. Waller stated he was looking into the issue and would have Mr. Draper inspect the property.

Ed Rawlings, Green Lane Drive, asked the Board to put a 3-way stop intersection in at Meadow Drive and Green Lane Drive to slow traffic. The Board will request a traffic study.

Mr. Ronald Seiger, Grandview Drive, requested that the Township again look into his home that he states was damaged by blasting in the adjacent subdivision over 4 years ago. Mr. Seiger also cited the problem with truck traffic from the Industrial Park driving on Grandview. A traffic study will be requested on the restriction of truck traffic.

V. AGENDA ITEMS:
1. Subdivision Plans:

a. Rutters, Lewisberry Road:

The representatives of Rutters discussed the stormwater issue that Penn Dot has created as a matter of a non-legislated policy that requires the Township to be the applicant for a highway occupancy permit for this development. The Board had previously authorized the Township Solicitor to work with the developer’s solicitor to attempt to reach a settlement with Penn Dot.

The general conclusion of this discussion is that if Penn Dot does not change their policy that appears to be somewhat arbitrary and capricious, that absent the Township becoming the applicant, development will most likely come to a halt in the future for any property that abuts a State Road.

Their solicitor indicated that there was a severe economic impact on his client and that if the matter was not resolved then he would have no option but to pursue this matter in the courts.

The Board instructed the staff to make additional contacts with representatives of the Commonwealth to try and resolve this matter.

Mr. Pirritano made a motion, seconded by Mr. Minito, to table this matter until these various matters can be resolved.
Vote on the motion: All yes. The motion carried.
