Gus, the township's zoning officer, updated supervisors on building permits, planning work and pending ordinance revisions.
Gus said he issued two permits to Carmen Builders for single-family homes on Tammy Drive, a rooftop-solar permit for Margaret Birney at 7064 Old Harrisburg Road, occupancy permits for Scott McIntyre (Cranberry Road) and Barry Hershey (yard-mounted solar), a 24-by-30-foot freestanding garage permit for Brian Harner, and plans submitted by JDI for an interior renovation at a furniture store changing to office use. He noted one plan had a county-discovered boundary discrepancy that the owner must correct and that planning commission review will resume once revisions are complete.
Gus told the board the county is working with the township on revisions to Part 4 of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO); those revisions remain before the planning commission and will be recommended to the supervisors after county review. He also said the planning commission had formed a committee to interview building inspection agencies and that the township interviewed the Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance and other inspection providers.
Chair acknowledged an application from Steven and Jennifer Hollinger asking to add their property to an agricultural security area (ASA). The board said the ASA application was advertised appropriately and that the township will accept objections or proposed modifications through Feb. 21 before the planning commission and county planning commission consider the application and the ASA board makes a determination.
The board also discussed a proposed revision to the burn ordinance that will go to the planning commission for review.
The supervisors granted a 60-day extension for the Huebner subdivision plans after a motion and voice vote earlier in the meeting; Gus and others discussed deeding and lot-splitting issues where county parcel records had previously lumped several adjacent lots under a single parcel.
