Mr. Dale Vernon, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Leventry, Mrs. Erin Siverd, and Mr. Attilio Squillario all residents of Brendalyn subdivision. They had questions/concerns about the recent paving project and the wedges/depressed curbs that were put in. Mr. Vernon then later Mr. Leventry asked why the decision to do the curbs and not mill. Mr. Gdula explained that before paving he reviewed the subdivision area with the paving contractor and saw to make the transition to all the concrete driveways; they had few options. Some were lower, some were higher, and a few were okay. He asked contractor’s opinion and they recommended to do the wedge/depressed curb to make transition to concrete driveways so the stormwater would drain properly and not go into their driveways.  Mr. Richards commented that expense of milling was part of it. Mr. Gdula said other factor was the road had different levels of thickness in different parts of the road so if milling would have been done it would compromise the strength and integrity of the road. Mrs. Erin Siverd about the transition on her driveway and she questioned township being on her property. Mr. Gdula and Mr. Bucci both said that it was in the township right of way. Mr. Richards said township had right to work in the right of way. Mr. Barbin said yes that is right of way which is a state law.  Mr. Gdula explained and said he would be over to look at hers. Mr. Vernon also asked about backside of curb by his property. Mr. Gdula said they could bring topsoil there and level off and its up to him to seed, etc. Mr. Vernon agreed. Mr. Leventry remarked about runoff from State Route 160 and at the entrance to the subdivision there is pipe that has not been cleaned. Mr. Gdula said he was not aware the pipe was there and said if Mr. Leventry would mark where it is then the township will clean it. Mr. Squillario asking decision making process on paving and asked if anyone else was involved and about his transition area also. Mr. Gdula said we are only contacted a week before as to when paving will be and our PENNDOT representative rode the project areas with him before project was put out to bid. Mr. Leventry commented on amount of salt in winter on road and Mr. Gdula said majority of people in the subdivision work and want road to be melted and clear. Mr. Squillario also commented about speed limit sign was being held together by tape and Mr. Gdula replied that they replace with a new one.
