Developer raises multiple open items for Nazareth Nest; board directs lawyer review

Lower Nazareth Township Board of Supervisors · April 22, 2026

Summary

Developer Justin Huratiak requested acceptance of additional letter-of-credit funds, a list for third‑party arbitration of engineering fees, release of BIA for footing inspections, and delay of open-space fee payment; solicitor said MPC limits the board’s role and asked for formal attorney letters.

Developer Justin Huratiak told the board he would provide an additional $1,200 in security for a letter of credit and asked the board to provide a list of engineering firms acceptable for arbitration under the Municipalities Planning Code for disputed inspection fees charged by Carroll Engineering. Huratiak also sought release of BIA to complete footing inspections while ownership and the land-development improvements agreement are revised.

Solicitor Gary Asteak said the options under the MPC for third-party review of engineering bills are between the developer and the engineer and that the board does not have a direct role; he asked Huratiak to have his attorney draft formal letters for requests that require legal action. Huratiak also asked to delay paying an open-space fee until a certificate of occupancy is issued; that request remained unresolved and Huratiak was asked to supply formal correspondence via counsel.
