Phase Il is to contain 23 lots. Three homes are presently being built there. Clinton McMullen, president of the Sunrise Estates Homeowners’ Association, said in March that the oldest homes in the project were built about 11 years ago. Alfred Tamanini. Jr. said Mon- day that his father, Alfred Ta- manini, Sr., had conveyed the land for Sunrise Estates II to him and his sister about two years ago. He said his father is the developer of the land. Also in March, township man- ager Jeffrey Box said that he had attempted to reach Tamanini, Sr. several times to resolve problems with the subdivision, but had re- ceived no response. Box said Fri- day that he thought this was the first time the township had sued a developer to force compliance with ordiances and plans. In Monday's hearing in the Luzerne County Courthouse, Jo- seph J. Savitz, the Tamaninis’ attorney, cited a letter from the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission that authorizes the interconnection of water systems like those in Sunrise Estates. Savitz repeated Tamanini's claim, made in March, that the connection was made only to provide service dur- ing emergencies. To Savitz's claim that the state Department of Environmental Resources suggests interconnect- ing water systems, Judge Toole remarked, “I know DER has make a lot of suggestions they wish they hadn't.” Savitz alsoadmitted that a drain- age easement was moved without receiving permission to do so from the township planners. While Savitz defended the move by say- ing that it resulted in better drain- age and was approved by Ta- manini's engineers, Toole reminded him that more was required. “The developer doesn’t have the right to decide what he will do,” Toole said. “We had a problem here in communication,” Savitz said in The developer's attorney suggested that builders often submit “as-built” plans after completion. Kingston Township Solicitor Benjamin Jones disagreed. explaining why changes were made without the township's knowledge or approval. “We believe we have one of the best developments in the Back Mountain. Mr. Tamanini is the kind of man who works day and night to insure the integrity of his development. When he sees something is not right, he changes Ww" When Savitz suggested that it is customary for a builder to make changes during construction and present “as-built” plans to the township, Solicitor Benjamin Jones objected. “This is obvously im- proper,” Jones said. Ifchangesare to be made, he said, the proper place to discuss them is before the planning commission. Atthe start of the hearing, Jones and Savitz agreed that three long- standing complaints the township has had with Sunrise Estates have either been resolved or are under negotiation. They are; construc- tion of a fence around a detention pond; maintenance of the pond, and lining of a streambed on the property of Raymond Metzgar. Judge Toole had made clear at the beginning of the session that if any work was being done in viola- tion of township ordinances or at variance with approved plans, he would rule in the township's favor. “I'm not going to stop him from doing anything that was submit- ted, considered and approved,” Toole said, but would forbid work that had not been properly ap- proved. The suit cited several violations, including: Connecting water serv- ice from Phase I of the develop- ment to Phase II; altering the storm drainage system from the final plan and causing a change in the ca- pacity of a storm water detention basin; altering the approved drain- age system by relocating a storm water drain pipe, creating addi- tional drainage easements and = Spring 24 1/2 Lake Street ; | Dallas, PA 18612 (717) 675-8113 Unlimited Visits $49.00 per month Plan Your Own Schedule By Appointment No Refunds of Dallas Faye and CLiff Birdsall ; MN Special Figure Salons Telephone adding to the burden on the deten- tion basin; constructing an inlet at the corner of Eileen Road and Alfred Road; constructing drainage in- verts before receiving final approval for them, and using plastic pipe; and refusing to agree in writing to construct, install and maintain until dedication all improvements required in the ordinance. The suit also charged that the Tamanini's had been requested to stop the stated actions, but had refused to stop and continued to do so.
