While the board agreed to continue using the driveway permit with no fees until the ordinance is revised, the minutes do not specify a timeline or the specific textual conflicts to be resolved. The board did not record any public comment on this item in these minutes.
Supervisor Helman’s motion directs staff to cease enforcement of the named ordinance for now and to remove the ordinance text from the township website pending a rewrite; the minutes record the procedural action but do not include a date for when a revised ordinance will be presented.
