At the Board of Supervisors meeting held on April 11, 2001, a discussion was held concerning the final subdivision plan for 76 residential lots known as Tiberton, located at the southeast corner of Westtown Road and Five Points Road.

During that discussion, the two following issues were approached requiring further research and clarification: 1) the 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 requested that the easement be vacated by the Township when the Tiberton subdivision is developed. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow were opposed to this request because it would require them to change their address. It was agreed that this issue was a private matter and one that did not have an impact on the decision for approving the subdivision plans. Mr. Halvorsen did suggest that once Mr. and Mrs. Morrow vacate the property, the issue concerning the easement of the driveway should be vacated. 2) the removal of utility poles that are located along the driveway, on the property owned by Dr. Winkley and Ms. Stuntebeck. These utility poles provide service to the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Morrow. It was agreed that the utility poles would be removed once underground utilities were provided for the Tiberton Development.

On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Meakim, the Board unanimously approved a final subdivision plan for 76 residential lots known as Tiberton located at the southeast corner of Westtown Road and South Five Points Road for Wilkinson Builders. Mr. Jerrod McCarron was present to represent Wilkinson Builders.

On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Meakim, the Board unanimously approved a final combination of lots and land development plan for a 1,912 S.F. addition for Weinstein Supply located at 887 Fern Hill Road and 904 Old Fern Hill Road.

On motion by Dr. White, seconded by Mr. Halvorsen, the Board unanimously approved a final subdivision plan for an eight lot residential subdivision for Short Brothers located at 1327 Ashbridge Road.

On motion by Mr. Meakim, seconded by Mr. Halvorsen, the Board unanimously approved a final land development plan for a 640 S.F. building enclosure for Philadelphia Suburban Water Company located at 1010 Greenhill Road. Dr. White recused himself due to a conflict of interest.

Ms. Evelyn Baker, resident of 900 Sheridan Drive, requested a comparison in figures of the bids from this year for road materials with those bids from last year for road materials. Mr. Halvorsen advised that Mr. Craig would need some time to compile the information concerning the bid figures. Mr. Halvorsen advised that the information would be available at the next meeting.

No further public comments were made.

There being no further business, on motion by Mr. Meakim, seconded by Mr. Halvorsen, the meeting was adjourned at 4:28 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

April L. Breniser
Assistant Township Secretary
