The resident said they checked the Huntington Township website in the late afternoon and found the Feb. 13 Board of Supervisors agenda posted instead of the commission's Feb. 20 agenda and that they had screenshots documenting the condition. The resident asked the commission to note the assertion of a Sunshine Act violation in the minutes.

Commission members asked township staff to verify which website was meant and to check the posting. A commission member said staff would double-check and follow up going forward to ensure postings are reliable. Later in the meeting during public comment the same resident urged the commission to consult the township solicitor, stating their understanding that actions taken at a meeting without proper public notice could be null and void if the public was not properly informed; the commission said it would check with Solicitor Todd King.

Commissioners recorded the resident's assertion in the minutes and instructed staff to review the website postings and confer with legal counsel on any required remedial steps. The meeting record shows a public concern was raised and that staff agreed to investigate and consult the solicitor; the commission did not reverse or rescind actions taken at the meeting during the session itself.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 24, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting, Huntington TWP, Adams County, PA.","oneSentenceSummary","A resident told the Planning Commission the Huntington Township website showed the Board of Supervisors agenda instead of the planning commission agenda and asserted a possible Sunshine Act violation; commission said staff would check with the solicitor.","taxTitle","Huntington Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania","taxId",79792,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6644618,"Commission tables 4 J Farm two-acre subdivision until March meeting",724,2333000,3057000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a&start=2333&end=3057","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a/thumbnail_2333000.jpg","/articles/6644618/Pennsylvania/Commission-tables-4-J-Farm-two-acre-subdivision-until-March-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644618-991eee19d354d3774b5deffb03875082/orig.mp4?Expires=1770924892&Signature=j7C~htTquXN3T08R9lZCS5FMwKkRhm9pa095B1Ju6b09dHRz1bO3QRh6tu0N1qiSdGyHl8RbhlH7HRDsEJm4L~NWdJPYIjva-20eO4-8YG4oufLBnun3LWwGK5cTFZ7QvsTzPh~A9ak9wC0HFTbQKFZrDJETpanQAdjdPfEw4AqBF2qgUxj7YDc6PWibPEoXF2M2uAkzOid-UavVECrKww-R0h6PaxoDJ0Bi1~l2VQn2IQvDEkFDoK4rd1aWvjSAoujaZk30LpTGIPa5hMSkpX9OU4OH0Xr-hlRqVqcf1oQImulil67QAYzfGMKtc2YjruYSZLlXMIbUmc8-~QlWeg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huntington Township Planning Commission voted to table action on a proposed two-acre subdivision from the 4 J Farm property and to resume consideration at the March meeting after the municipal engineer completes a final review.

The applicant presented plans to subdivide a two-acre lot from an existing approximately 48-acre farm for single-family residential use. The applicant said soil testing and a planning module had been prepared; the applicant asked the commission for a recommendation to the supervisors.

Commissioners and the municipal engineer said revisions to the plan arrived too recently for a complete engineering review and that the township must have the full package, including the planning module and finalized engineer comments, before recommending approval. Commissioners also noted county review comments and a pending Land Conservancy of Adams County interest in the property that the applicant said would be addressed on the plan.

A motion to defer consideration to the March meeting passed by voice vote. Township staff said the applicant has 90 days for municipal review; the commission said deferring one month would allow the engineer to complete a thorough review and allow the commission to ensure all county and conservancy conditions are met before forwarding a recommendation to the supervisors.","The Planning Commission deferred action on a proposed two-acre subdivision from 4 J Farm, citing recent revisions and the need for the township engineer and planning module paperwork to be reviewed.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6644623,"Planning commission recommends bids for Meijerstown and Greenbrier culvert projects; Meisterstown roof project scheduled for construction",1656,500000,2156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a&start=500&end=2156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a/thumbnail_500000.jpg","/articles/6644623/Pennsylvania/Planning-commission-recommends-bids-for-Meijerstown-and-Greenbrier-culvert-projects-Meisterstown-roof-project-scheduled-for-construction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644623-41ab5081ef58c1d024d67688a87baa39/orig.mp4?Expires=1770924892&Signature=RM35rlLlZO7NC822koC39J4HwC8Kq6aeaBh~xFN14BUVCNOE6KcJpDOH8~emTrane-vKsLVdIkv-My4eKbPw~aL5Jc-lf0mGAlt92Qt~gylWbWAwFLAi4z8kPKB-wjDndB7Eh9x~ekTVhNNmL12melg1sQWwVp8pdxvBcpiG9YWceg6sYF7ASGh-ShsupED5E~9ykE-lNx4jEHhvTGjSt6jVAD1sWMPOW4sB8f2EOGMSqjbAxHU9jnppBCNVhkx3YSuOHUpKB7dPzw7wYwkW0H5pX0D9SJNS5JUcDnH~K3V4IifxSTw3R9jqvtT-LvUzd6O3EWkJV0Bsu7-rTfp4xA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huntington Township Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors advertise bids for two culvert projects and reviewed plans for a Meisterstown roof/road project expected to require a short road closure this summer.

Commissioners voted to recommend that supervisors solicit bids for the Meijerstown culvert project after staff confirmed permit approvals and final plans and specifications. The commission also recommended bidding Greenbrier Road culvert work; both recommendations passed by voice vote.

Township staff said the Meijerstown permit approvals and plans are complete and that the commission's recommendation would allow the supervisors to move the project to bid. For Greenbrier Road, staff reported that temporary culvert crossings must be removed by Friday under permit conditions and that backfilling was underway so traffic could be restored as the contractor completes work.

Separately, the commission reviewed plans for a Meisterstown roof replacement and related road work. Staff estimated the project cost at about $340,000 and said the plan would likely require the road to be closed for roughly four weeks; total construction and ancillary work could extend to two to two-and-a-half months. Commissioners discussed funding timing and whether to delay the project to seek county funding in the next budget year; members decided to proceed with the recommendation to bid rather than delay because the road was considered to be in poor condition.

Members also discussed construction logistics\u0000including temporary bypasses and working windows to avoid conflicts with the apple harvest\u0000and noted the advantage that some work would not require a temporary culvert bypass, which reduces scope and cost. The commission told staff the plans would remain on file for review and asked that contractors and staff coordinate access and tree-line impacts during construction.

All motions to recommend bidding the projects were approved by voice vote and forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.","Huntington Township Planning Commission voted to recommend that supervisors bid culvert work on Meijerstown and Greenbrier roads and discussed a Meisterstown structure replacement estimated at about $340,000 with anticipated short road closure.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6644628,"Planning commission waives preliminary review, recommends conditional approval for JVI land development",515,1024000,1539000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a&start=1024&end=1539","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941275-b1391780229fd5f7fbabcd4f7602533a/thumbnail_1024000.jpg","/articles/6644628/Pennsylvania/Planning-commission-waives-preliminary-review-recommends-conditional-approval-for-JVI-land-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644628-36cf73ce896a868dbc0f31c298101a82/orig.mp4?Expires=1770924892&Signature=myGR-wXAO7iEvNlFRr82fn5-mVwB~XZTU3VIGeb5kx8RMBDzsgxZu1mKQX5UO-nu3S~mhxZMoMjN5Jyte73EGho-vRdmtD~LG6CXGPOQf92OHg27jevLTmUY7b-YK5t7NukYBjrVbebk4y1LDicsg9dp4b2lz-wYiFY89qfeDc1vrs4llJ-1k2BZSaVG3sH7IRAxKRb2vd4jTQ4aIndUBBsdFaXlT~xKbX5fwKrVMfTULif-u~SP~Kb8f6k~l3uEqbFYWLSPLqpqxWqZR~qpRwg7yGhxkI6Rs02KZgp7-kHLdeFYHYfICFY9iFTy5XlCI1eNuFkaUUoR9rI61qCQlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huntington Township Planning Commission voted Thursday to waive preliminary-plat procedures and to recommend conditional approval of a JVI land development plan, pending municipal engineering sign-offs and outside-agency permits.

The commission approved a motion to waive the preliminary plan and allow JVI to proceed with a combined preliminary/final review, then approved a separate recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for conditional approval of the JVI land development plan. The recommendation specified that approval be contingent on the consultant engineer's comments dated Feb. 20, 2025, and on issuance of necessary permits.

The developer's representatives said the outstanding municipal items are largely administrative or financial securities: final engineer sign-and-seal, owner notarizations, approval of the engineer's cost estimate for public improvements, and recording a stormwater BMP operations and maintenance agreement. The project team said two outside approvals remain: an HOP (Highway Occupancy Permit) and a recently revised MPDES/ NPDES permit that currently sits with the Adams County Conservation District for review. JVI's representative Roger Drake told the commission the HOP comments had been addressed and that he expected the conservation district review to determine whether state DEP review would be required.

\"I want to thank you for all your cooperation during this entire process,\" Roger Drake said after the commission's vote.

Commissioners voted to send two items to the supervisors: (1) the waiver to allow preliminary/final processing of the JVI plan, and (2) a favorable, conditional recommendation to approve the land development plan when the municipal engineer's comments and required permits are satisfied. Both motions passed by voice vote.

The commission also asked staff and the engineer to confirm that the MPDES revisions and any conservation-district direction would not delay the local actions. Developers said the sediment-basin work to convert to the long-term stormwater control (MRC) is already underway and that, if the conservation district handles the MPDES review locally, final approvals could follow within about 60 days; if DEP review is required, the timeline could lengthen.

The commission's action moves the JVI plan to the supervisors with a formal recommendation but does not constitute final municipal land development approval until the supervisors act and the outstanding engineering and permitting items are resolved.","Huntington Township Planning Commission voted to waive preliminary-plan procedures and recommend conditional approval of JVI\u0000Land Development Plan, subject to engineer comments and outside-agency permits.","actionData","errors"]
