PUBLIC GENERAL COMMENT PERIOD:  
Etta Albright with League of Women Voters of PA about Fix Harrisburg issue. She explained about the League of Women Voters being a non-partisan group that came out of Women’s Suffrage. She said about Harrisburg; about how in state legislature current legislative rules allow a few partisan leaders in positions of power complete control over which bills get a vote; should be bi partisan; should be fair and just process. Mr. Richards had a question; asked if they have gone to state representative,senator,etc. She said yes; and also mentioned Health Care Safety; staffing issues right now and gave sheet that explained that is an example of a bill about this staffing issue being blocked or not considered. Mr. Richards mentioned when we at township need help/assistance with something we go to our state representatives. Albright said that is good for you as a township; that is what it should be a collaboration.  Ms. Albright asked Board to consider signing petition either online or physical copy in support of these issues. Mr. Schrader said something about the secretary doing that… and Mr. Richards said that no that would something to be done on an individual basis. Ms. Albright said she leave the Board with the information to look over and consider signing petition in support then check back.
Joe Barnouski here on behalf of Tessa Williams about discussing building permit denial and then any needed motions. Mr.Barnouski here representing his daughter; sold her 30 acres on Strip Road with intent for her to build a home on the land. He said she tried going the stick-built route but with lumber today; it didn’t work out. She found and ordered a manufactured home (double wide). He said building codes sent denial saying acreage is in middle of three different zoning areas where manufactured is not allowed; it says to come to Board to either grant exception or change zoning to agricultural; he said is here for advice/guidance on what can be done. Mr. Richards mentioned it not being allowed in any of those zoning areas; that the Planning Commission updated the ordinance, and we had public hearings at which there was no objections. Mr.Barbin said recently we changed property on zoning map; but we were able to that because one of the zoning areas bordering the property allowed that. If we changed Ms.Williams property to all agricultural, it would be spot zoning which is illegal in Pennsylvania. He said option he suggests if we want it work is to do a zoning amendment to the language under the Conservancy (S) District to allow one single residence either stick built or manufactured home on no less 20 acres provided manufactured home is built on full foundation. Mr.Barbin said that change would allow wherever Conservancy is on zoning map. He told Mr.Barnouski that when a property is in two or more zoning districts the owner can choose which one it is. But none of the 3 this property is in allows it that is why he said about doing zoning amendment to language. Discussion continued. Mr. Bucci explained difference between manufactured and modular homes after Mr. Schrader asked Mr.Barnouski where his daughter had ordered the home from. The Board told Mr.Barnouski to go to Planning Commission later this week with this issue and then if they are acceptable of zoning amendment we can proceed with change. Mr. Bucci provided him time and date of meeting. Mr.Barnouski also brought up a place in road near the S curve near Krestars that needs smoothed out or something put there. Mr. Richards said that is a state road but if the road department passed by the area; they may put something there.
Mr. Colt McKelvey who lives on Forest Hills Drive and has McKelvey Law Office up the hill here about natural gas. He said he has been trying to get natural gas on his side of Forest Hills Drive. He said he has called gas companies (Peoples/Keystone) but has not received a call back. Mr. Richards said when Representative Rigby was here two weeks ago; he is trying to help get gas to Mr. Paluch’s greenhouse on Forest Hills Drive. Mr. Bucci said that we have been dealing with this for years.; he said a few years ago he went around Old Luther development with forms to get people who were interested in Peoples gas and got them back and submitted them; no movement forward. He also said all the contacts he had numbers for back then are no longer there. Mr.Senft said if he remembers correctly that it was about money to get gas line from hill by Em’s up to that side of Forest Hills Drive or have Keystone come up Palestine. Mr. Bucci asked Mr.Paluch what they said it would cost to bring up to his greenhouse. Mr.Paluch said it changed every time; said in beginning was around 80,000 then up to 300,000. Mr. Bucci agreed price is astronomical. Mr. McKelvey asked if calling Rigby’s office directly would help; the Board said yes give him a call. The Board said this has been ongoing for years and that if the gas company brought line up, they even said they would allow them to go along township right of way. Mr.Paluch mentioned places down in St. Michael area getting gas line down there so quickly; how that happened so fast. Mr. Bucci said he said he thought the businesses Mr.Paluch mentioned all contributed to the cost to get the line down there. Mr.Paluch said yes all we want is a call back to know where things stand. Mr. Richards said one of the supervisors would try to get in contact with the gas companies to see if anything can be done.

Mr. Morris said yes it is near there and the current owner is ECS Partnership ; it is just the one 10.1-acre parcel and is on north side by creek. Mr.Barbin said the options are to either file a curative amendment which is like a variance hearing and go before either the Zoning Hearing Board or the Supervisors ;  you have to prove that you can’t use property any other way and are technically challenging the zoning ordinance. He said an easier way would be if the supervisors all agree to change/amend the zoning map/ordinance; would be quicker would take like 45-60 days and would be more cost effective also.

Mr. Senft said that we are trying to get a grant to do the drainage. Mr. Gdula said that you must have good drainage to have a good road. Mr. Gdula and Mr. Bucci both said wouldn’t want to pave then have to cut it all up again to put in drainage. Mrs. McNeal asked if there could be temporary fix at least for the entrance. Mr. and Mrs. McNeal asked when the we would know about the grant; Mr. Bucci said we would not know until the fall whether we get the grant for it. The McNeal’s said even if the grant comes through could be another year then. Discussion continued. Mr. Senft said there was plans to do entrance last year but ran out of time.

Discussion on questions brought up by Board included stormwater, having only one egress , utilities, entrance. Mr. Good said that one of questions the Planning Commission brought up was a trust indenture. Mr.Barbin said what that is a trust that you would set up that would provide maintenance for common area for residents. Mr.Barbin said that he doesn’t see anything  so far that is not allowed under the zoning ordinance although he would have to look at it as it pertains to Mr. Good’s plan ;will there but some buts and ands sure but nothing stands out ; he said Mr. Good’s next step would be to draw a sketch plan and present it to the Planning Commission.

PUBLIC GENERAL COMMENT PERIOD: Ms. Connie Weyandt and Ms. Loretta Dusack who lives on Centennial Drive here about numerous issues. First Ms.Wyandt asked if you need a permit to demolish a building; the Board said yes; she explained that her neighbor said he is tearing down existing garage and put new garage on existing foundation. Mr. Barbin said if they tear down and put back up have to follow setbacks/zoning ordinance and as long as foundation stays he said we have allowed in the past and said setbacks have some relief in these areas in old mining towns where houses are close together. She mentioned liability when he would take it down if it would damage anything on her property….Mr. Barbin said they touch your garage,etc it would be considered trespassing….and then you could file with District Magistrate. Mr.Senft recommended taking pictures of garage before he does his demolishing. She commented that she already has. Both Ms.Wyandt and Ms. Dusack both commented on the animals/ livestock being in their area..what is allowed. She said someone in past had to get rid of what they had, and new people have moved in and have some. Mr. Richards said this is where you would need to file complaint with codes. Mr. Barbin read from the township zoning ordinance that the animals they are referring to are allowed in District A (Agricultural) but outside of District A you need at least 5 acres to maintain animals, no horses/cows outside District A and have to put up fence and feed/water the animals, clean up manure/manure storage ,chicken coops or other building to house animals located at least 50 feet from neighboring property, and would need special permit to do outside of District A. Next, Ms.Wyandt asked about burn permits. She said one neighbor she thinks does not have permit and/or is not burning according to what it states on permit; and mentioned he is burning building materials from his business. Mr. Barbin stated that you are not supposed to burn building/construction materials that it is against PA laws and DEP laws. Mr. Richards said to call police in that situation. She also brought up a car that that has been sitting along street and is close to fire hydrant; has been there since last fall. She asked how feet may away car needs to be from hydrant, and someone answered 15 feet . She said police had been there for another issue ; would think they would ask for car to be moved. Mr. Richards said we can get police to check that address on Centennial ;she said they know address. She mentioned another address where some young men are residing where garbage/trash is piling up.Mr. Richards replied that we can turn that address into codes to check out. She inquired also about 1274 Centennial where garage collapsed. Mr. Bucci said that codes sent background information for citation to police to fill out identifiers so charges can be filed. Then, she brought up ditches behind her residence and other residences that previously she has tried to upkeep and try to keep clean. She said they all need opened. Someone asked whose property they are. She said Berwind’s. Mr.Gdula said we have cleaned these ditches in the past so water would run freely. Mr. Richards said Mr.Senft Roadmaster can clean ditches ; Mr.Senft was not sure which one and /or where is clogged. Mr. Richards informed him on area where ditches are located. Lastly, Ms.Wyandt and Ms. Dusack said there are trucks hauling gravel(coal trucks?) that are going too fast in their area ;concerned since there are kids in the area. Mr. Richards said they are coming out of quarry back there and are bonded. She asked about posting speed limit signs and having police watch speed and the Board said would be the state since that is a state road for sign, and we can let police know about speeding. Both ladies mentioned cats…..one neighbor lady has lots of cats . Mr. Richards said cats are not required to have license like dogs. Attorney Barbin said animal control won’t do anything. He said in another township in the past they considered a cat nuisance ordinance but didn’t end up doing because the questions were how many cats do you allow 3 or 5 ? and people could say well that isn’t mine that’s a stray,etc. that the rules would be frowned upon; he said it is something that is hard to get a handle on.
Mr. Bob Cooper here for second time about water runoff/flooding; said it’s not all coming from his roof. He said he is considering putting in leech bed to help problem ; wants some guidance wants to know how close to come to road with right of way; how far from road is right of way. Mr.Gdula said the right of way in there a lot of the roads are 50 feet but there are some that are 60 feet right of way such as Adams; that he would need to measure from roadway towards his property. He mentioned he still has property stake that is  10 feet from road by electrical box ; mentioned previous  conversation about animals and said his neighbor’s dog barks a lot; called police and was told to listen how long it barks for. Mr. Barbin said if he would do a leech bed ; is part clay ; water will run out over and if it would come out onto road and get icy/freeze then the township would tell you do something different. Mr. Cooper questioned/asked what else or where else he could do something for water runoff; reiterated he gets lots of water; has 2 sump pumps running and still doesn’t help; still gets water. He mentioned an open ditch along Oakridge ; questioned  if that is allowed. Mr. Barbin said yes it is if you close it you need a DEP permit where you don’t if you have an open one. Also, he mentioned about water comes across road from Adams ; and goes down his driveway (driveway is concave) . Mr.Gdula said from road to his garage is downhill and mentioned that are natural springs back in Beauty line area also and that he not only one that gets water; has been at least 4 homes that had to get water pumped from basements over years; . Mr. Cooper also mentioned he has lived there for 39 years has had water issues since day 1; mentioned when sewer line went in ;what contractor did; Mr. Barbin said that could be it; water went into sewer lines before ; said there could have been cracks in line before. Mr.Gdula said his sewer must flow downhill; guys questioned where sewer lines were installed? Mr. Cooper said he has old video  of when it was put in. Mr.Gdula said  where does his French drain line go to? He said French drain could be his problem ; it may have no outlet ;is running along foundation and into yard.  Mr. Schrader asked about French drain ;where is it located ; does it work? Mr. Cooper said it is by foundation and yes it is working. Next ,he mentioned a culvert is needed.  Mr.Gdula said yes that could be done that but where do you take the runoff water to ? Have an inlet but need an outlet for drainage. He mentioned the leech bed again; Mr.Gdula said the water will fill up in there; still need an outlet for water. Mr.Gdula and Mr. Richards said Mr.Senft as Roadmaster can come look at road and see what can be done ( a swell) so that water does not come across his driveway from road but the other water is his to fix (whether it is coming from underground) or somewhere else. Mr.Senft said he did go over there one day if it is house he is thinking to look what he could do. Mr. Richards and Mr.Gdula both said again that the water coming across Adams Drive Mr.Senft could use grader/create a swell so that water would not run towards his property and other water is his to figure out what to do/where is coming from.

PUBLIC GENERAL COMMENT PERIOD:
Mrs. Baker inquiring about at last meeting how Board approved resolution for Kelly Drive Stormwater project for possible grant  and wants to make them aware of the stormwater issues/problem with pipes by her and provided some pictures of water; she had talked with Mr.Sewalk at Eads Group who had worked up the project cost, flow for us as our engineers,; told him her concerns; he suggested holding pond as an option. She was asking about how/where this water would flow and is worried that there would be extra water coming through pipe in front of her property and Mrs. Scullion’s as their basements get flooded already. Mr. Bucci said this is only preliminary at this point. Mr. Richards said the Eads Group had worked a cost estimate for that project for the possible grant, but we are not sure if we will get the grant at all; so, project may not happen if we don’t. Mrs. Baker asked if there was a problem up in that area of Kelly Drive,etc with the stormwater. Mr.Senft and Mr. Gdula both said yes. Mr.Senft explained that pipes there are blocked because they are not large enough ; there are no catch basins just holes and the resident’s yards get saturated and water just lays there, and piping will follow natural drainage to creek behind homes. Mr. Gdula said water can only drain from drainage system in place ;that it will go into creek and then follow established drainage piping system down Centennial and pipe under railroad tracks on Old Bedford Pike and that all drainage from Delfire and below it drains down that way. He said I understand your concern that you would be getting extra water; by replacing those pipes on Kelly Drive and that area it is still draining through same system it may just be more efficient and get there quicker and we have other residents that get flooding in their basements. Mr. Gdula also mentioned that large pipe in front their homes; the township had to fight with PENNDOT about that pipe to get corrected/larger and said as he and Mr.Sewalk walked one time to find water flow from side of road they are on. He said water drains from Bentwood(natural springs in yards) to behind MIC Industries through 18inch terra cotta pipe then goes to back of Mrs. Scullion’s property. He also mentioned how he wanted to put in new pipe on Track lane by Mrs. Baker property and she wouldn’t let him. She said I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you. Mrs. Baker expressed her concerns about us diverting this water with the project and then stormwater issues in area. Several board members said we are not diverting it ; it is going into already established drainage; we are just replacing piping, which would improve flow. Mr.Senft said  that is what we are trying to do with changing/replacing these stormwater pipes and the pipe in front of their properties is not our pipe its PENNDOT’s. Mrs. Baker said it is difficult to work with PENNDOT or get them to do things when it comes to the pipe situation and that we all know the railroad won’t so piping under there wouldn’t get replaced.
Mrs. Scullion inquired about any updates about the Geibig case. Mr.Barbin said a new judge has not been assigned yet. Mr.Senft asked hasn’t this already been to trial. Mr.Barbin responded yes ….it went to district court and we won there so Mr.Geibig appealed it, then it went to county court. We won there and the judge ordered him to pay a fine, he paid fine, but the tires were not removed. So, then he (Mr.Barbin) filed an injunction…was delayed due to their solicitor being ill more than once…the pretrial conference was set for mid-January….their solicitor was ill again ,and Mr.Barbin objected due to another delay. Then Judge recused herself from case; she had a conflict of interest and ordered the court administrator to assign a new judge to the case. He said he has not been notified of the  new judge assigned yet or court date. Mrs. Scullion expressed how long this has been going on. Mr. Richards said its filed and we are just waiting on the judge and said we want an answer also and for the matter to be resolved.
