Residents question soil-moving behind Spring House and raise concerns about township upkeep
Summary
Residents at the May 6 Conestoga Township meeting asked why dirt and brush were being moved into woods behind the Spring House and urged better property maintenance across the township; officials said the work is a conservation-district project and there are no plans to alter the pipeline on Conestoga Boulevard.
The Conestoga Township Board of Supervisors heard multiple public comments at its May 6 meeting about recent land disturbance behind the Spring House and general neighborhood upkeep.
Chris Bair of 208 Run Valley Road asked why dirt and brush were being moved into the woods behind the Spring House. Vice Chairman Thomas Grassel Jr. replied that the work "is a Lancaster County Conservation District project to connect the farming terraces, built to reduce the tillable slope, and to guide the water to the drainage swale." The board did not propose local changes to that conservation-district project at the meeting.
Resident Doris Warfel of 39 Sandhill Road urged the supervisors to press owners to maintain properties, saying "people are not maintaining their yards nice, putting up unsightly structures, and the condition of sidewalks have deteriorated." Her comments focused on visual blight and the safety implications of failing sidewalks.
Robin Maguire of 32 Sandhill Road raised separate concerns about activity on Gas Company property along Conestoga Boulevard, saying Amish workers were putting up a fence to keep people out; Vice Chairman Grassel replied there are "no plans to make changes to the pipeline." The board did not take formal action on the public comments and did not set a follow-up agenda item during the meeting.
