Prior to possible approval of the final subdivision plan for 76 residential lots, known as Tiberton, located at the southeast corner of Westtown Road and South Five Points Road, a discussion was
held. The main issue discussed concerned an easement of a driveway located on the property of Dr. Geoff Winkley and Ms. Robin Stuntebeck. This driveway is used by the Morrow Family in order
to access their residence. Dr. Winkley and Ms. Stuntebeck had requested that this easement be vacated by the Township when the Tiberton subdivision is developed.
Mr. Robert Adams, Esquire, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Morrow, advised that Mr. and Mrs. Morrow are opposed to this request since it would change their address. Mr. Adams further advised that his clients have yet to view a copy of the plans or title for their property.
A second issue that was discussed concerned the removal of utility poles located along the driveway belonging to Dr. Winkley and Ms. Stuntebeck. Dr. Winkley and Ms. Stuntebeck requested that these
poles be removed once underground utilities are placed in the Tiberton Development.
It was agreed by all parties that no decision would be rendered at this time. It was further agreed that this item would be placed on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting to be held on
April 25, 2001.
On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Meakim, the Board unanimously approved Resolution 13-01, recognizing Representative Elinor Z.

Mr. Halvorsen advised that he would be in attendance at Mrs. Taylor's birthday luncheon to be held on Sunday, April 23, 2001 and that he would present the Resolution to Mrs. Taylor at that time.
A discussion was held concerning the request from the Owners of Crawdaddy's Café to transfer a license to serve alcohol at the restaurant establishment located at 1215 West Chester Pike.
Mr. Ronald Nagle, Esquire, Township Solicitor, was present to represent the Township and Mr. Paul Rubino, Esquire, was present to represent the Owners of Crawdaddy's Café, Rob and Julie Trabbold.
Mr. Nagle explained that in accordance with Act 141-2000, it was mandatory for a local municipality to conduct a public hearing whenever an establishment was requesting the approval for a license to serve
alcohol. The purpose of this hearing would be to allow the public to express their support or opposition to such a decision.

Crawdaddy's Café in their request to obtain a license to serve alcohol at their restaurant located at 1215 West Chester Pike.
