Engineer reports progress on townhouse developments, DOT projects and a Chick‑fil‑A permit

Engineer Mark told the council that townhouse projects — including Camelot Phase 3 and East High Street Estates — are finishing punch-list water-and-sewer work and that the borough is aiming to have roads turned over to the borough by the end of the year, subject to completion of outstanding work.

Two Department of Transportation grant-funded projects, Beau Boulevard and Alfred, are complete with only punch-list items and signage remaining; Mark said the contractor on the Alfred project left debris and stone on Paddock Drive and the borough is pursuing cleanup.

Mark said he participated in a conference call about the Chick‑fil‑A site and that the applicant is working to satisfy requirements for a road-opening permit, including water and sewer crossings. He also said a cannabis business (identified in the transcript) is scheduled for a walk-through and is close to completing landscaping and hydroseeding for code inspection.

Why it matters: Completion of developer-built roads and DOT projects affects when the borough assumes maintenance responsibility; outstanding punch-list items and debris can delay acceptance. The Chick‑fil‑A road-opening permit and a pending cannabis business walk-through involve coordination between developers, contractors and borough code/enforcement staff.

What happens next: Engineer staff will continue punch-list oversight, pursue contractor cleanup on Paddock Drive, and coordinate permit-clearance steps for the Chick‑fil‑A and the cannabis site. No formal schedule change or bond-release decision was recorded at the meeting.

Quotes: "We're looking probably to have those roads turned over to the borough by the end of the year, but we'll see how quickly they can get this stuff done," Mark said.

The council adjourned; the next meeting is Sept. 23, 2025, at 6 p.m.
