The exception was granted by the zoning board on the condition that the developer remove three of the residential units from the subdivision plans. The property is owned by Harveys Lake resident Al Morrow. Attorney Mark McNealis filed an appeal on the basis that the zoning board's special exception waived a host of residential zoning ordi- nances. McNealis is representing Robert Zimmerman, who is a part- time resident of the lake and lives across the street from the proposed development during the summer months. Zimmerman challenged prelimi- nary approval by the borough plan- ning commission of the developer's original application, claiming that the plans did not comply with sev- eral borough residential zoning ordinances regarding major subdi- visions. At a July 25 meeting the planning commission voted toreject the application for those reasons. Attorney McNealis said that bor- ough ordinances regarding subdivi- sions state that both planning commission and zoning board re- view and approval are neccessary, By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Reports that there head lice found among students in the Dallas School District were confirmed this week by District Superintendent Gerald Wycallis. Wycallis said, however, that there was no need for parents to panic. “This problem occurs just about every year,” Wycallis said. “The nurses check heads periodically and take steps to prevent an epidemic by taking the proper steps.” School nurse Rita Bren stated that only 13 cases were found among students in the schools in the dis- trict. “That's not a lot of cases for the hundreds of students within the school district,” Bren said. “Several of the students were reinfected and, in some cases, children infected from ““one ‘school took them home were other children in the family became infected. “There is no need for parents to panic,” she said. “We have been but as far as he knows Al-Sar Cor- poration doesn’t intend to file any future applications with the Plan- ning Commission. He said that several setback and density re- quirments were waived, and the zoning board did not review the application properly. The pending appeal leaves the future of the townhouse develop- ment at the lake up in the air, some land has been cleared but no struc- ture has gone up since the original application for 29 townhouses on 3 1/2 acres of land was filed back in June 1988. “If they decide to build anything they are doing it at their own risk. There is a possibilty that if the zon- ing board's decision is overturned the developers would have to tear down any building they started,” said McNealis. An attorney representing the borough zoning board said that townhouse developers probably will have to submit another application before the Harveys Lake Planning Commission. The zoning board does not have the authority to hear sub- division applications, but can grant special exceptions to allow the con- struction of multi-housing units in residential areas. The appeal would be heard in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. Head lice in Dallas schools checking the students and we have sent flyers home with all of the stu- dents. If there are parents, whose children have not brought home a flyer, we suggest parents ask their children if they have one in a book or in their desk or locker at school.” Bren said that over the weekend all of the lockers were sprayed and all sanitation steps have been taken. She also recommended that parents inspect their children’s heads regu- larly over a period of time since head lice can spread through contact. She also stated that a doctor’s prescrip- tion is usually needed to get rid of the lice, although she recently heard that there is one type of medication sold over-the- counter. Parents should not worry about cleanliness because that is not the cause of head lice. “Cleanliness has nothing to do with it,” said Bren. “The.. most immaculate individual can have head lice. They can be picked up from outside or many other ways. Checking children's heads regularly is the best preven- tion.” DELEUR'S weak To "YOUR ONE STOP SHOP" Be 631 MEMORIAL HIGHWAY, DALLAS, PA 18612 717-675-2266 SSEtIAER" eats 2400 sq. ft., Triple Pane Glass Door /Blower & Ashpan standard.
