Summary

A resident asked about placing a sawmill and another asked for township support on a subdivision driveway waiver; the board advised both to proceed to the Zoning Hearing Board or supported waiving the right-of-way width based on presented information.

During the public-comment period, Samuel Esh asked the board about placing a sawmill at 2865 Delta Road. Vice-Chairman Bradley Smith told Esh he would need to appear before the Zoning Hearing Board; Solicitor John Wilson and Engineer Grant Anderson added that a special exception and possibly a variance would likely be required to satisfy the 500-foot distance requirement.

Laura Seitz presented a potential subdivision at 2068 Trinity Road and requested whether the board would support a waiver of the private driveway/right-of-way width for future parcel access. The supervisors said they did not see any issues with the information presented and later ratified a related Road Maintenance/Right-of-Way agreement for Laura R. Sietz, Mark W. and Joyce L. Frey and Rosalie B. Bitter.

Carmine Pantano introduced himself as the new township constable during the public-comment period. The board did not take further action on the sawmill request at the meeting; Esh was directed to pursue the formal zoning process if he decides to purchase the property.
