Conewago Township board approves right-of-way ordinance, authorizes PennDOT access and advertises warehouse ordinance

Conewago Township Board of Supervisors Chair Mimi Legro called the workshop to order at 2:00 p.m. on May 19, 2025, at the township building on Old Hershey Road in Elizabethtown. Attendance was recorded as Chair Mimi Legro, Supervisor Frank Graybill, Vice-Chair Mike Long (participating by phone), Treasurer Karen Brandt, Secretary Jessica Hunt and Victoria Storz. The meeting was advertised and recorded; there were no public comments.

During the workshop the board handled three formal actions. First, Chair Mimi Legro moved to approve Ordinance 2025-001, titled “Obstructions in the Right-of-Way.” Supervisor Frank Graybill seconded. The board voted, with all in favor, and the motion carried, approving the ordinance. The ordinance was presented and acted on during the workshop; text and effective date were not specified in the record provided.

Second, Legro moved to approve Resolution 2025-001 authorizing the township secretary to access the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Engineering & Construction Management System. Graybill seconded; the board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. The resolution grants administrative access for township staff to PennDOT’s project and permitting system; further operational details were not specified in the workshop minutes.

Third, the board approved a motion by Legro, seconded by Graybill, to advertise Ordinance 2025-002, a Warehouse Ordinance, for consideration at the Board of Supervisors meeting scheduled July 7, 2025. The motion to advertise sets that ordinance for future public consideration; the workshop record does not include the ordinance’s text, specific zoning changes, or any fiscal impact information.

All three motions were seconded by Supervisor Frank Graybill and recorded as carried with the statement “all in favor.” Vice-Chair Mike Long — participating by phone — is recorded among those present; the minutes list no recorded votes against or abstentions. The workshop adjourned at 3:02 p.m. following the final motion.

The board’s actions at the workshop consisted of ordinance adoption (2025-001), a staff-access resolution for PennDOT systems (2025-001), and authorization to advertise a separate warehouse ordinance (2025-002) for the July 7 meeting. The record supplied does not include ordinance text, vote tallies by roll call, or additional background material; those items are not specified in the minutes and would need to be consulted in the ordinance/resolution documents or at the July 7 meeting for more detail.
