County Planning Commission
Adopts Conservation Measure
In a recent meeting of the
Lancaster County Planning
Commission, a memorandum of
understanding was adopted in
which the planning commission
said it will pass some sub-division
plans onto the U.S. Conservation
Service for their review and
comments.
With increased state
regulations regarding soil
erosion and flooding, the com
mission said it will consider
making Conservation Service

comments mandatory when new
subdivision regulations are
drafted this year.
The planners took no action on
a request from the Lancaster
County Conservation Distiict
that regulations for avoiding
runoff on construction sites be
incorporated into the subdivison
regulations. It was the feeling of
the planners that such guidelines
could best be established where
building permits are obtained, on
the local level.

the county. These are the tourist
business and the colleges. “If you
count the payroll and the money
spent by the students, the three
colleges here-Frankhn and
Marshall. Elizabethtown and
Millersville - you’ll find that
they ’re adding about $4O million a
year to Lancaster County’s
economy ”
On the future of the county,
Lyons said that things would
have to change just to stay the
same If attempts aren’t made to
channel growth in the proper
directions, he said, then the
county would decline
“If Lancaster County had
different leadership, we might be
another Atlanta, Georgia We
might have a city of 250,000 in
stead of a county of 300,000 I
think, though, that the movers
and shakers of Lancaster County
like things the way they are ”
Lyons did point out that many
communities have grown too last
for their own good “The problem
is to achieve good economic
growth without getting urban
ulcers We don’t want to become
another Newark Under present
cOllUlllOils, tlltll is a possibility
that the county won’t keep up
with the economic growth of the
rest of the country, and maybe
that’s not all bad It could mean
that this will be a nicer place to
live than the rest of the country ”
Asked if he felt economic
growth could occur without
sacrificing the county’s limited
farmland, Lyons said he didn't
feel farmland was especially
limited “1 can still get lost in
Lancaster County,” he said “No
matter what happens, it’ll be a
long time before all the farms are
gone ”
