Chairman Bruce Bucher convened the July 2, 2002 meeting of the Board of Supervisors at 7:00 a.m. Present were Supervisors Bruce Bucher, Michael Vigunas, W. Logan Myers, and Roger Moyer. Joseph McSparran was absent. In attendance were Township Manager Daniel Zimmerman, Dan McGraw, Scott Campbell, Michael Arno, John Love, Attorney Mark Stanley, and Sean Richardson.

CONSIDER THE HMA - COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION PLAN, PREPARED BY RETTEW ASSOCIATES: The Chairman stated that the Board received a draft copy of the Improvement Construction Plan Agreement. Attorney Stanley explained that "Exhibit A" as submitted with the draft Improvement Construction Plan will be revised to include a statement indicating that the connection of the hospital project's stormwater facilities to the existing basin on lot 7 as depicted on the Final Subdivision and Land Development Plan for the Shoppes at Kissel Village will be included as part of the site work (the statement will be added as 19. on "Exhibit A"). Attorney Stanley explained that draft agreement stipulates that, except for the connection to the basin on lot 7, all work authorized by the Agreement shall be limited to the boundaries of the hospital site.

Moyer inquired whether or not the applicant is aware that beginning site work as part of an Improvement Construction Plan, rather than following approval of a Final Plan imposes certain risks (i.e. denial of a DEP Sewer Module requiring a modification to the plan). Attorney Stanley stated that his client is aware of possible risks.

The Applicant is requesting a Waiver Section 403.E.1 pertaining to the PA DEP's approval of the Sewer Module for the Construction Improvement Plan. The applicant has submitted the Sewer Module for the project to DEP and would submit the appropriate approval notification to the Township prior to Final Plan approval. On a motion by Moyer, seconded by Vigunas, the Board voted unanimously to grant of Waiver of Section 403.E.1, contingent upon notification of DEP's approval of the Sewer Module prior to Final Plan approval.

The applicant is requesting a Waiver of Section 301.7.E regarding Lancaster County Planning Commission review of the Improvement Construction Plan. On a motion by Myers, seconded by Moyer, the Board voted unanimously to grant a Waiver of Section 301.7.E.

The Applicant is requesting a Waiver of Section 301.7 pertaining to Unconditional Preliminary Plan approval prior to the processing of an Improvement Construction Plan. The Township Manager explained that the applicant submitted the Preliminary Plan and the Construction Improvement Plan simultaneously. On a motion by Moyer, seconded by Vigunas, the Board voted unanimously to grant of Waiver of Section 301.7.

On a motion by Moyer, seconded by Myers, the Board unanimously approved the HMA-Community Hospital Improvement Construction Plan contingent upon execution of the Improvement Construction Plan Agreement, upon receipt of the Conservation District approval, and upon the Township Engineer's July 1, 2002 comment letter being addressed.

CONSIDER THE TIME EXTENSION REQUEST FOR THE TRAJAN PUTNIK PRELIMINARY LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN: The Board reviewed the request. The Board expressed concern that the applicant has approximately 20 vehicles parked on the property used for the residence. The Township Manager explained that Putnik is not operating a commercial business from the residential site, he uses it for storage for his existing business. On a motion by Moyer, seconded by Vigunas, the Board unanimously granted a 90-day extension request for the Trajan Putnik Preliminary Land Development Plan. The Board requested that any written notification of the approval for the time request include a note indicating the Board's concern regarding the storage of vehicles on the residential property.

CONSIDER RESOLUTION #07-02-02-01 PROVIDING FOR THE TAX COLLECTOR TO IMPOSE FEES FOR CERTIFICATION OF REAL ESTATE TAXES: The Board reviewed the Resolution. The Resolution authorizes the Tax Collector to impose fees for tax certifications ($10.00) and for issuing duplicate tax bills or similar records ($5.00). On a motion by Myers, seconded by Vigunas, the Board voted unanimously to adopt Resolution #07-02-02-01.

ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 7:26 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Daniel L. Zimmerman
