Bontimiea from PAGE ONE) 41 profession. Mr. Martin “sewerage plans to be submitted to DAMA afor approval, for all towns @retiences. Mr. E Martin said that no such plans "have been submitted by the stands that the Army Corps. of N ‘Engineers’ hook-up of the park, to the DAMA system, was done ‘poorly, and ‘might not meet ‘DAMA specifications. 3» "The hearing was scheduled “Mr. Kester has argued that the May 10 hearing did not ‘conform strictly to provisions of the Pennsylvania Municipali- ties Planning Code. Board members, in conference with ‘Atty. Ben Jones III, solicitor for the township, decided that the hearing had not conformed to all technical provisions of the ‘code, and decided to set a new ‘hearing ‘rather than turn the matter over to the courts. The Aug. 23 meeting was run ‘by Atty. Jones, with’ much ‘formality and concern for meeting ‘planning code provisions. All persons concern- ed were notified of the hearing; witnesses were ‘sworn in’; Mr. Kester was . allowed legal counsel; the proceedings were tape-recorded, and a court stenograpljer was on hand; and a ly rion by the board 4s’ promised to Mr. Kester ‘within 45 days, of the Aug. 23 ‘date. Tightly run though it was, following an ‘adgenda closely, ‘with time limits on some state- ‘ments, the ‘meeting, which Ustarted'at 8 p.m., ran on past 11. “There! were several lengthy, prepared statements against acceptance of the park, and many residents took the witness “stand to repeat stories of gar- bage problems, crime prob- lems, and so on, even though Atty. Jones continually remind- ed those in attendance that they could not accept any repetitious testimony. Atty. Johnson kept testimony for the park at a minimung issuing shoxt.statement f several NE ‘rather than calling them one at a time, at one point/ He noted that all would ho remain living at the park site. John Dana, Kingston Town- ship zoning officer, was the first witness called. He testified that the Army engineers installed some trailers closer together than 20 feet, as required by township zoning; that. Mr. Kester’s application plans do percent recreational area; and thats no Rerpit has been issued vania Department of Environ- mental Rescources (DER), as is required for a private mobile home park. Mr. Dana added that Mr. Kester promised to turn six of the 60 acres in question into recreational space. Mr. Kester testified that he also plans to remove trailers that are closer to another than 20 feet. He added that he had just learned of the required DER permit when Mr. Dana testified, and would apply for it immediately. Mr. Kester further testified that he plans to rent the mobile home pads for minimum periods of one year, to owners of their own homes. He told the board that there are presently 73 families at the park, and that he projects that there will never be more than 140. He promised to maintain his own roads, testi- fied that he has an adequate, private water supply, and noted that he has made some plans to landscape the park. Jean Carey, secretary of the Midway Manor Taxpayers Association, read a long prepared statement against acceptance of the park and entered into the record questionnaires circulated by her group. She testified that 97.4 percent of the approximately 100 families polled were against the permanent park. In addition to the regular complaints, she added the argument that accep- tance of the park would set a precedent for more such parks in the ample, unsettled areas of the township. She also raised the possibility of Mr. Kester moving, to become a hard-to- deal-with, absentee landlord. Atty. Johnson objected to this prepared statement, as he did to the others, stating that it was based on opinion, whereas they should only be dealing with the facts of the zoning ordinance, which does provide for mobile home parks in the township. Reed Atchison, president of the Kingston Township Tax- payers Association, also en- tered questionnaire results into the record. An April 9 question- naire showed that 66 percent of 70 who responded felt that a ‘permanent mobile home park fessor of biology at Wilkes College, gave the opinion that a large mistake might be made if the township changed ‘‘an expedient action into a perman- ent park without making an extensive study of the long- range effects of the park on our school system, water supply and other services.” Township police chief Paul Sabol testified that problems of crime at the park are ‘‘very minor’. He added that the Slocum Mobile Home Park gives him ‘98 percent more trouble’. Edward Price, a neighbor of the park, also gave a prepared statement. He represented no organization. He claimed that in 15 years the park would be ‘‘one big slum’’. He said that trailers are not dumped, like old cars, but instead are sold, resold, resold and resold in place.” Mr. Price told Atty. Johnson that he would rather see the half million dollar project scrapped, than for it to be become per- manent. A young woman asked him if he had said, ‘People that live in trailers are not my type of people.” Mr. Price said that he had said that, but then quali- fied the statement. He said that he was only speaking of the minority, “who would ruin it for the rest.” Mr. Kester promised the board that all pads will be 30 feet from the roadways, that all will be placed on foundations, that he will probably hire a security guard, and that he is considering designating lots through the use of small pine trees. In his summation, Atty. Johnson promised that his client would meet zoning re- quirements and provide the board, within 10 days, with the information they requested, about the water output of his well and so on. Atty. Johnson emphasized that park prob- lems, like nonpayment of sewerage, hook-up charges and fees to DAMA, are the fault of the federal government, which is still running the park, not of Mr. Kester. He reiterated that the flood situation called for the waiving of some zoning regula- tions at the park, and promised that they would be met when the park is accepted by the town- ship. The attorney added that at that time the residents of the park would pay the same taxes that all township residents must pay. He also, again pointed out that the Kingston Township zoning laws do provide for mobile home parks. He finished, saying, “I can’t munity...if there is one, may God help America.” The zoning hearing board must now consider the testi- mony, study Mr. Kester’s forth- coming figures on the opera- tions of the park, and provide Mr. Kester with their written decision by Oct. 6. As Atty. Jones indicated during the hearing, there is a good chance that that decision will be taken to the Luzerne County Courthouse, by way of an appeal.
