During the SALDO and ordinance discussion, township engineer Rock Stahovic urged the commission to consider removing three waivers that are "always granted" (tree inventory, opinion of title, and drawing scale) from the ordinance because their routine use undermines the need to include them as automatic exceptions. Nancy Sarcinello proposed making amendments and then revising the ordinance language and taking changes back to the Board of Supervisors.
Guest Jonathan Shupp raised a separate concern about the lot-joiner ordinance, telling the commission that "our fees are much higher than any other townships" and suggesting the fee structure might be appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to review. Commissioners agreed to refer ordinance language and fee concerns back to the supervisors for further consideration. The transcript does not include a fee schedule or comparative figures; Shupp's comment was recorded as an assertion to be considered.
