Unfinished Business

• Richard Keller Subdivision - Mr. Keller addressed the plans he had submitted earlier this month. Parsells noted that the septic and well is not listed in the legend. The well is now listed and the wording has been corrected to state that there are three lots. Setbacks have also been depicted on the plans. Motion by Raino that the plans be submitted to the Supervisors with a recommendation for approval with the stipulation that the plans be redone showing the septic system and well in the legend, 2nd by Stemphoski. Motion voted, all in favor.
• Skatepark - Skatepark Association was not present at the meeting to address Ned Slocum’s review of the plans and the ninety days for review has expired. Motion by Sartori that the Supervisors contact skatepark association to have them request additional time for review of plans or the Supervisors should reject the plans, 2nd by Parsells. Motion voted, all in favor.
• Sal Pileggi - Mr. Pileggi brought sewage facility plans for the Commission to review, however, the ordinances state that plans need to be brought to the Township fifteen business days before the Planning Commission meeting. Haan pointed out that the plans need to have preliminary or final written on them, twelve copies of the plans are required along with six copies of the DEP Modules and that the road has not been substantially completed and would need to be brought up to current code before final approval.
