Township denies reduction of Zimmerman poultry-barn security, releases Creekside Meadows phases 3 and 4 (contingent)
Summary
Conewago Township supervisors denied a request to reduce financial security for the Zimmerman poultry barns (maintaining $9,910) and released financial security for Creekside Meadows phases 3 and 4 contingent on a maintenance bond for roads.
At its Jan. 21 workshop, the Conewago Township Board of Supervisors denied a request to reduce the financial security for the Zimmerman poultry-barn project and maintained the security amount at $9,910.00. The board also approved releasing financial security for Creekside Meadows Phases 3 and 4, but conditioned that release on receipt of a roads maintenance bond.
Vice-Chair Mike Long moved to deny the Zimmerman reduction and to keep the financial security at $9,910; Supervisor Frank Graybill seconded and the board recorded "All in favor, motion carried." Later, Graybill moved to release the Creekside Meadows financial security for Phases 3 and 4 contingent upon the required maintenance bond for the roads; Long seconded and the motion carried.
Why it matters: financial-security decisions affect the township’s guarantees that developers complete required infrastructure work. Maintaining security for the Zimmerman project preserves funds the township can draw on if required work is incomplete; the contingency on Creekside Meadows ties security release to a maintenance-bond condition intended to protect road upkeep.
The minutes do not include detailed engineering findings, the developer’s requested reduction amount, or any roll-call voting tallies. The board did not specify dates by which the maintenance bond must be provided.
