Elizabeth Lloyd of Machell Avenue says she is less worried about this particular project thafi about the lack ofadequate planning in general. “If things are not well planned, there can be negative consequences in the future,” she said recently. In the case of Deer Meadow, Lloyd “is concerned that we know all the facts and exactly what we are dealing with so the best decisions are made.” Nancy Eckert, who lives on Powderhorn Drive adjacent to the proposed development, is a former member of the Dallas Borough Council. She said that experience made her aware of how complexand difficult decisions like the one to rezone the Deer Meadow property is. i “I would prefer it to stay exactly as it is,” she said when contacted recently, but added that the plans she has seen seem acceptable, “as long as drainage and other concerns are taken care of.” Eckert referred to Nelen's proposal that showed lots of 1/2 acre and larger and homes valued at approximately $250,000. Eckert said she would like to see the Borough rewrite its zoning and subdivision statutes and raise the minimum lot size above the 7,500 square feet it is presently. Merolli had made a different suggestion last July when the Borough Council asked his office to review the rezoning application. Rather than rezone to R-1, which leaves open the possibility of the smaller lot sizes being requested at a later date, Merolli suggested that the developer be granted variances within the conservation zone. Those variances could have been specific as to lot size and location, avoiding the possibility of the lot sizes being reduced. In his letter of July 12, 1988 to the Council, Merolli recommended denial of the proposed zone change for three reasons; that putting 51 homes on the tract might put too much pressure on water, road and other systems; that the zone change to R-1 left open the possibility of 7,500 square foot lots, “which seems too drastic of a reduction,” from the previous two acre requirement; and that making a Special Exception to the existing zoning was a better 3 Months - 8.15% bet 6 Months - 8.35% v 9 Months - 8.45% 1 Year - 8.60% 2 Year - 8.55% 3 Year - 8.70% FDIC or FSLIC Insured *Subject to availability. * No commision charged BOB OSTROWSKI Senior Vice President - Investments CALL COLLECT 826-6006 Prudential-Bache 39 Public Sq.

Box 366, Dallas, PA 18612 option because it would “protect the community by allowing some reduction in the 2 acre lot size without the aforementioned wholesale lot size reduction.” That is the position Joan Hiller, who lives on Machell Avenue, says she and many of her neighbors could support. “We are not against growth. We just wish to keep it manageable,” said Hiller last week. “That's why our petition urged tha Council to maintain existing zoning as ameans to control the growth.” Mrs. Hiller referred to a petition that she gathered and presented to the council in July. On it, she claimed to have found 349 persons opposed to the rezoning plan and only ten for it. Hiller and her neighbors are also worried that a creek that runs from the land into Huntsville Reservoir may become contaminated and overflow as a result of the added runoff from the new homes. Hiller says the creek now rises enough to wash out a dirt roas next to the reservoir at least four times a year. Robert Jones calls himself the unofficial watchman of the Huntsville Reservoir, which lies below the proposed development. He says that he is now constantly cleaning up trash left around the reservoir by fishermen. and feels that adding 50 homes to the area will only increase the garbage problem. He also claims that sewerage migrates down from existing homes located above the reservoir, but that he calls Pennsylvania Gas and Water when he notices changes in the water and they respond quickly to correct the situation. But, he thinks that more population in the area will have an adverse effect on the quality of the water. “Heaven help us if we end up with 50 more homes there,” he said last week. Another long time Machell resident who opposes the zone change is Jean Gale. She has lived on the street for 18 years, and says her home has never had adequate water pressure. Mrs. Gale said that her home is the last one on the existing water line for the Dallas Water Company. While the company says pressure there is sufficient, Mrs. Gale responds that in order to take a decent shower, her family ‘had to install a device that narrows the water stream and increases pressure. Mrs. Gale also cited increasing automobile traffic that creates a hazard for walkers in the area. “Traffic right now is getting dangerous,” she said, adding that 50 more homes in the neighborhood will make the hazard greater. “I don't know what the answer is, but it's not more traffic,” she said. Mrs. Gale said she would prefer that the existing two acre zoning of the parcel be maintained. “If they take away this little bit of conservation land, we'll never ever get it back,” she explained. Jackson Twp. residents will have recreational space The Jackson Township Supervi- sors voted unanimously to author- ize their solicitor to proceed with the purchase of 19.57 acres of land; 17 acres to be used for recreational purposes, and the remaining por- tion allocated for a new municipal building. The selling price for the property is $115,000. The property includes the former Texaco service station and a two- story building on Chase Road near the Huntsville Dam. The service station will house the township road department, and after remodeling of the two-story structure the munici- pal office and the police department will be located there. The purchase was made possible in part through a $50,000 grant from the state Department of Com- munity Development, said Supervi- sor Thomas Adams. A special board will be appointed by the supervisors at the beginning of next year to review possible appli- % cations for the recreational land.
