In the | words of Payne President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas R. Gauntlett, “There is more to mov- ing a printing facility than simply packing up and going into a new environment.

Although officials plan occupancy by May, it will probably be August before all fin- ishing touches including landscap- ing of the 10-acre site, is com- pleted to the owners satisfaction. building. It is planned that once the new press is running smoothly, other units will be moved one at a time to the Graphic Arts Center. By scheduling this way, officials are certain they will not lose any production time and when the move is completed, production will in- crease due to the new color unit. Phase I of the Center will house the pressroom which will include among other things eight floating concrete slabs capable of support- ing 7-color presses. When Phase | is completed, Payne will be operat- ing three 5-color units, one 4-color and two 2-color presses. Phase I will also house Payne's finishing and shipping areas, warehousing, employee locker rooms, production office areas, conference rooms, maintenance, facilities support space and mez- zanine areas. : The company was started 47 Payne Precision Color Graph- ics, Dallas, was honored recently by the Philadelphia based Graphic Arts Association for their outstanding work in all areas of the graphic arts.

This requirement was not being met by the proposed plans. During the hearing, attorney Keith Hunter, representing Home World, said that the group was asking for the variance because ‘the township ordinance provides for construction of townhouses. He also said that by considering the structure of the proposal, the 4,000 square feet requirement could be met. Hunter said the requirement would be satisfied by combining | the square footage of four townhouses, which make up one building. “You must take into consideration the nature of townhouse structure,” Hunter told the board. There was some opposition to this idea. Jeff Gardner, a resident of Briarcrest Drive told the board that the requirement was made to protect the individual. “If you go by his (Hunter's) calculations, then one townhouse may have more area and one may not get enough room,” said Gardner. Another resident to oppose the "variance was Michael Rifenbery, ‘also of Briarcrest Drive. “The de- velopment could be made to fit within the requirements,” Rifen- bery told the board. “There is no heed to grant the variance.” During the hearing Hunter told the board that there was room in ‘the plans to meet the requirements. ~ However, he said that it would take a lot of time to do. He added that the precedent for the ordinance showed that a variance could be ~ granted when the ordinance would cause a great inconvenience. Lehman Township resident + Brenda Hage asked the engineers ~' why the ordinance wasn't observed “when the plans were made. The "engineers said that they assumed the requirements were met because Ag? Xl the ordinance allowed for townhouse construction. Hage later said that she felt the engineers should have followed the ordinance. “I think they should have looked at the ordinance thor- oughly,” said Hage. “Their assump- tion is unprofessional and is an insult to us.” After hearing from all parties, the zoning hearing board went into executive session to discuss the matter. After 10 minutes, board- member Harold Coolbaugh made a motion to approve the variance because the ordinance was incon- sistent. “It allows for townhouses and at the same time it requires such large minimum footage as to make townhouses impossible,” said Coolbaugh. The board voted unanimously to approve the vari- ance. The matter then went to the planning commission which re- viewed the latest plans submitted by the engineers. Planning board chairman and township supervisor David Sutton also addressed a concern of the public about the increased traffic on Briarcrest Drive once the townhouses are built. “These will not be built within the next year,” said Sutton. “Eventually, ifthe road gets too busy the township will have to take a look at it.” After the review of the plans, the commission gave preliminary approval upon the meeting of two conditions: the submision of a let- ter of approval from the Luzerne County Conservation District, and the revision of a part of the plans dealing with open areas of the project. After approval was given, Jay H. May, a member of the board of Home World said that this was a big step for the project. “We have been working on this for two years and now it is going,” said May.
