Lake To Canvass ‘On Planning Law Lake Township will circulate a ja ii petition among taxpayers in the near future to determine if the township’ wants to form its own planning commission to deal with { zoning, matters, or: torabide ‘by the |, -. cGunty.erdinance which -is ‘now err | fective. Lake is one of the Back Mountain | municipalities which is governed by county zoning law, not having form- ed its own zoning ordinance. Under county law, the bulk of | Lake Township is zoned “A-1", pri- marily agricultural, but with leeway for practically any enterprise. There is extensive residential area at the | lake itself, as well as business and | commercial, set aside on the coun- | ty's zoning map. Areas termed ‘S- 1”, suburban residential, permitting - one-family ‘dwellings, most agri- * | culture except kennels and com- mercial chicken farms, and a host | | of other things requiring board ap- | proval, include Outlet Village, small | | sections built-up near the Lehman | line, and the area around Vito Pilosi’s. Loyalville Corners is term- ed a business district. And that is that for zoning in Lake Township, as far as the county is concerned. Lake supervisors are interested in forming their own planning com- | mission cad o rdinance, which would then supercede county law, for bet- J | ter control. Lake Township has problems which: would be better | handled on the local level, as do | most municipalities. Many Back | il Mountain communities, dissatisfied with county law on zoning, have in- troduced their own law in this field. Supervisor Sharon Whitesell, Loyalville, said. that while the town- ship was at it, they might consider = introducing legislation for subdi- | vision regulations as well. This has | been common practice among the various communities. Whitesell also observed that many people in Lake Township did not even know they were presently reg- oo ulated by county zoning. ‘Constable Jasper Kocher suggested that a pub- lic meeting on zoning prospects be called, to inform the taxpayers di~ rectly. : Along the same lines, discussion was: held at the Supervisors’ meet- ing on Saturday on various local | problems at the Lake. It was an- nounced ‘that the Health Depart- ment had not released the names or number of violators who had complied with state orders to clean up or replaced ‘their septic systems | which were found defective and pclluting Harveys Lake. LaaE | Supervisor Whitesell said Lake i health officer Henry Stefanowicz had been going around and inspect= ing many systems, accompanied by a state health officer. Supervisor Ed Crake moved the: # | secretary contact the Health De- partment to get an idea of “what's going on.’ : It. was again noted that here will ‘have to be some changes in the new septic tank ordinance to conform to present practices. There are some places in Lake Township where a simple sump would work adequately, without contamination, y
