7. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A discussion on whether the Planning Commission must agree with the Engineer took place. Paul Spiegel indicated that Commissioners are not obligated to agree with a final plan.
MPC recommends 90 days for a Plan to be under consideration. There are very few plans that go through without comments and changes. Often the applicant will request an extension.
Richard Craig said he was working on a format so the Commission can read files from the Web.
8. The Floor was Opened for public comment.
Lorraine McDermott asked questions about extensions beyond the 90 days. Mr. Craig said he had spoken with Mr. Yarnall that morning and Mr. Johnson had agreed to an extension because they
are waiting for a bridge permit from the Department of Environment Protection. There were questions about Preliminary Plans and Final Plans and when the clock starts ticking on a plan.
Robin Murlless quoted from Ch. 72 when he thought the Plan should start.
Mike Bannan said he did not understand the official clock and when a plan is ready to be submitted. He would like a check list for himself so he is assured that a plan meets all criteria. Richard Craig indicated that the official clock is started when a plan is published in the Minutes of a particular meeting as an Initial Submission.
Mike Bannan and Jim O'Brien agreed to chair the Residential and Commercial Committees.
They will organize a time when available Commissioners will be able to walk a certain property. The chairman will then submit a report back to the Commission.
Lorraine McDermott spoke about the Johnson property and about adults walking around the barn area. The structure could be a hazard and she was told to check with the Health Department.
Richard Craig introduced a packet which included locations of three projects which have been built in the Township by Mr. Yarnall.
Also included in the packet was a copy of the Act 167 Chester Creek Watershed which is a joint action by Chester and Delaware County. He indicated that he would like some action by the Planning
Commission by the next meeting. This document has been prepared by a committee, and if accepted by our Township would mean changes in some ordinances. This is a minimum need. He
suggested that we consider adopting it for the entire Township not just for the Chester Creek Watershed. It would not be retroactive.
Mr. Craig also mentioned that East High School plans should be coming in within the next few months. Ellis Road will have to be crossed for the children to reach their ballfields.
There are ideas for a bridge, relocating Ellis Lane, or installing a traffic signal.
9. MOTION: To adjourn the meeting at 8:10 PM.
ACTION: O'Brien/Spiegel (6-0).
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Boothe Higgins, Secretary
