Unfinished Business

• Kellerl Subdivision - Mr. Naegle approached the Commission to review the progress of the subdivision. Commission was waiting for comments from Os Patton and Lackawanna County Regional Planning Commission. Patton stated to Township that a DEP module is needed. Naegle disagrees with that request. Haan stated that Planning Commission goes by the recommendations of our SEO. Naegle requested contingent approval. Consensus of the Commission stated that they do not give contingent approval. Naegle requested a special meeting if DEP approval is received. After a discussion of the matter with Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, John Pardue, a special meeting can be held if the requester is willing to pay for the cost of the advertisement. Naegle is willing to pay for the advertisement and will call Miller when it can be advertised. Miller explained the process that will need to be followed in order to have the plans signed by the Board at their September 15, 2008 meeting.
