Announcements

New Business

• Bennett Conditional Use: Denise Bennett of Newton Ransom Boulevard approached the Commission for approval to seek a conditional use for a home occupation of prenatal and postnatal massage and nails. The business would be located in her home in a 300 sq. ft. room with plenty of parking. The nail portion of the business would be only natural products, no chemicals and doing only natural nails. The Commission stated that she needed to get a zoning book to be prepared with everything needed for the conditional use hearing and a $500 check to proceed.
• Buranich Subdivision: Plans were submitted to the Township on May 12, 2006 for the Sam Buranich minor subdivision on Cherry Hill Road. The property will be divided into three lots. During review of the plans, the Commission stated that the plans needed to show all septic systems and that they are functioning and show all driveways. The wording on the first page refers to the Department of Environmental Resources and should say the Department of Environmental Protection. There needs to be something written on the plans that state the property owner will be responsible for the pipe replacement in the roadway of the common well. Ransom Township is mentioned twice on the second page and should be Newton Township. Also, anything that is common needs to show responsible party written on the plans. Motion by Holweg to accept the preliminary plans to have the above changes made, 2nd by Raino. Motion voted, all in favor.

Unfinished Business

• State Subdivision: Letter from Patton was received stating that there are tanks on the property and there is no record of default. It is the owner’s responsibility to fix any problems that may occur when the systems are running again. Motion by Parsells to accept the plans as presented, 2nd by Stemphoski. Motion voted, all in favor. Motion by Stemphoski to forward the plans to the Supervisors and recommend approval, 2nd by Holweg. Motion voted, all in favor.
• Telecommunications Ordinance: Scot Haan wrote up the ordinance for review with the changes discussed at last months meeting. Commission recommends sending to the Supervisors for review.
