Pocono planning commission tables solar facility plan and several projects

The Pocono Township Planning Commission voted to table a preliminary plan for a solar electric power generation facility, identified in the meeting as LDP 1-446, and to table several other preliminary plans during its meeting.

The Chair announced the solar project LDP 1-446 and the commission took a motion to table consideration of that preliminary plan. According to the record, "Joe made a motion to table" and "Claire seconded," and the commission carried the motion by voice vote. The commission later considered multiple other preliminary plans — including Cranberry Creek Apartments, Mount Edge Village, 135 Warner Road and an item referenced as Alaska Pete's Roadhouse with Ocean — and voted to table those items as well; the motion to table those projects was recorded as moved by Dennis and seconded by Joe, and it carried by voice vote.

Commissioners noted that 135 Warner Road had an extension filed the same day. The Chair asked about the length of the extension; a clerk confirmed an extension had been received but did not state how long the extension runs.

No formal roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the minutes read at the meeting; outcomes were recorded by voice vote with "aye" responses. The motions to table were recorded as carried. The commission did not take final action on any of the tabling items at this meeting; tabling preserves party and administrative deadlines until future consideration.

The commission also announced there were no sewage planning modules, special exceptions, waivers, or final plans under consideration at this session.
