Old Business

McKinney Final Minor Subdivision

Mr. McKinney is requesting several waivers that are unopposed by Mr. Ragan as set forth in his review letter dated October 8, 2012.  The waivers requested that are unopposed are providing a site context map, accurate field topographic survey and a final resource impact and conservation plan.  Monuments were discussed briefly and it was agreed that the internal (new lot) needs to have iron pins, but the requirement to pin the outer (existing) parcels be waived.  Mr. Ragan noted that the signature block needs notarization before it goes to the Board of Supervisors for approval.  Also, if it is determined that more than 1,000 square feet is disturbed, then the Township needs and Erosion & Sedimentation form submitted.  Mr. Ragan also discussed the Chester County Planning Commission comments as set forth in their review letter dated October 5, 2012.  The need for a sketch plan to show potential development was discussed, but since Mr. McKinney has the property on the market and has no plans for future development, it was determined that no sketch plan exists.    On a Motion by Martha Straus and seconded by Mary Anne Steel, the McKinney Final Minor Subdivision Plan will be recommended to the Board of Supervisors for approval, with waivers. The vote was unanimous.

Mr. Ragan reported that the Cook Brothers need to obtain their own illumination specs by going back to the vendors; he doesn’t have anything for them.

PECO Green Region Grant Opportunity

Sunoco

There was brief discussion about Sunoco after Mr. Humkey inquired as to the status.  Mr. Ragan reported that Sunoco has elected to defer formal approval until November because the clock starts ticking immediately after approval and construction must begin within six months of approval. Sunoco would like to commence construction at the beginning of March.

Adjournment

On a motion made by Ms. Steel and seconded by Mr. Humkey and approved unanimously, the meeting adjourned at 7:43 pm.
