He said the one that was obstructed had things in there that shouldn’t have been and said hopefully the things done will fix the issue. He said he will keep an eye when it rains to see if the water flow/drainage is working.

Mr. Kovalsky was saying it is township alley. Mr. Barbin said that he and Mr. Kovalsky had talked about this before and it is not a township road/alley and therefore not township responsibility.

Mr. Terry Crissey about the upcoming road paving work to be done on Bentwood Drive. Mr. Crissey asked he be contacted beforehand; he said he would then let other neighbors know.

Mr. Barbin said concerning the noise to fill out a complaint form. Mr. Gdula said we have ordinance against loud noises after 11:00pm.

Mr. Ron Stombaugh, Mrs. Sandra Stombaugh, and Ms. Stacy Ahlborn here about stormwater/drainage not working issue in Sidman.  Mr. Stombaugh had pictures where it comes to his yard. But other neighbors’ drainage pipes there is no water draining. Mr. Richards said the water is not releasing then.

Discussion occurred; Mrs. Stombaugh said she has video and other side has no runoff and some places have berms on sides, and some don’t. Ms. Ahlborn commented about previous issues (flooding) stemming from this issue on her property and she put in pipe in. Mr. Gdula said he had gone up before to see where source was, and he said they would look into diverting water out to Route 160 but first would have to get permission from PennDOT getting in their culvert. He also mentioned that there have been new homes put in that were not there before and that can affect drainage. He added the pros and cons of having curbing. Mr. Gdula said he would contact PennDOT first to see if township can get permission from them; then go from there with pipe work needed and added this work would probably not be done until next year.

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.

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. 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. Mrs. Leventry commented about children at play could be displayed could be somewhere since there is a lot of children in area. Mr. Gdula said they could get signage with that on it.
