After reviewing the draft presented, the Planning Commission requested some changes. Work is continuing on combining the R – 1, R – 2 Districts and eliminating the RA District.
Township Engineer:
Ron Ragan stated that he is following up on Act 167 Storm Water work. He also needs to apply for a new MS4 permit in September 2017. He is hoping to do a collaborative effort with neighboring municipalities within the East Branch of the White Clay watershed. Ron also reported that we need to do a Preventative Pollution Plan for the section of the Township that is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Ron gave an update on a retention pond in the Shepherd Hollow Subdivision. In order for the homeowner to do the work he presented to the Board, it would take approximately 750 tons of rip-rap. There is a new design using cocoa fiber with growing medium embedded that would make the work much easier for the resident. Ron will speak with the resident to see if this option would be acceptable.

Trish Fagan reported that nine (9) permits were issued in October, one (1) was for a Single Family Dwelling. There were no U & O’s issued.
