Residents urge borough action on hazardous tree and ask council to consider data-center restrictions
Summary
Two residents used the public-comment period to raise safety and development concerns: Katherine O'Hara reported a large pine tree touching Verizon and Comcast lines and requested follow-up; Karen Crossley asked whether a recent development has a tax abatement and urged council to consider an ordinance banning data centers.
During public comment Katherine O'Hara of 620 Coyle Road said a "giant pine tree" is on wires owned by Mr. Dessin and indicated the lines involved are Verizon and Comcast; Administrator Sue Miller said she will call to follow up and Solicitor Timothy Scaffidi said there is no update on Coyle Road at this time.
Karen Crossley of 339 Sugar Hill Drive asked if a new development has a tax abatement (the council said it does not) and raised concerns about data centers, noting neighboring towns have taken action; Mayor Simon said the council has been discussing the issue. No formal ordinance was introduced at the meeting.
