EAC flags SALDO changes: fees or dedicated land for open space could be required
Summary
Members discussed potential stricter Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) requirements that could require developers to provide fees or dedicated land for open space and recreation; Tom Donohue urged tailoring fees vs. facilities to borough needs and noted funding could be devoted to borough for recreation equipment.
The council reviewed concerns about proposed stricter SALDO requirements that could require developers—commercial or residential—to provide either fees or dedicated land for open-space and recreation facilities.
Tom Donohue emphasized the trade-off between fees and providing facilities, saying fees could be directed to the borough for new recreation equipment if that better addresses community needs. Judy Kauffman noted that study results differ across borough areas and that the Comprehensive Plan study should inform local choices.
