Hanson's rezoning request sent back to pla By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer A request to rezone part of the former Hanson's Amusement Park is on hold for another month as it is going back to the Harveys Lake Planning Commission for review. The Harveys Lake Borough Council did not take action on the request at a meeting last week because there no comment was made on the request from the plan- ning commission. Instead, the council heard from area residents concerned about the proposed zoning change. The issue first came to the coun- cil last month when Don Hanson made a request to have 29.1 acres of property rezoned from commer- cial to multi-family residential. The area includes lakefront, boat- houses and the former amusement park. The request is the first step in an effort to build a townhouse complex on the property, some- thing that has some residents concerned. Robert Zimmerman, of Barnum Street, told the council that he was concerned about the impact a townhouse complex could have on the borough. Zimmerman said that the council should have compre- hensive studies done on how a complex will affect the sewer sys- tem, water supply and the traffic on the roads. Zimmerman said that studies have shown that part of the sewer system is working near its capac- Police report DALLAS TOWNSHIP ELECTRONICS STOLEN FROM MUSIC ROOM On July 16, Dallas Township ~ Patrolman Jolley investigated a theft at College Misericordia where investigation revealed taken were a Fisher amplifier, tuner and re- ceiver, a 26-inch color TV and two sets of speakers, valued at a total of about $2,300.

Other residents agreed, saying that environmental impact and feasibility studies should be done before the council gives approval for the project. However, the architect involved with the project said that the main concern should be the rezoning. “The issue at hand is rezoning from C-3 to R-3,” said Michael Thomas of Quad- 3 Group engi- neers. “The Hanson's are inter- ested in doing a quality project.” Thomas said that studies will be done on the project but not until the rezoning is approved. He said that right now there is not even a project to speak of. “We have just made a request to rezone,” he said. Another concern expressed at the meeting was the loss of com- mercial property at the lake. Tho- mas said- that the Hansons have taken that into consideration. “They are not rezoning all of (the property), only the part they think should be rezoned.” said Thomas. “They are leaving part of it as commercial because they don't want to overdevelop and maximize the land.” He also said that rezoning is a good option for that land. “They have commercial land and have tried to sell it and utilize it,but have decided the best thing todo is rezone it,” Thomas said. Thomas agreed that studies have to be done before the project be- gins but he says rezoning of the property must come first. The Harveys Lake Council was scheduled to take action on the rezoning request but instead sent it back to the planning commis- sion, which must review the re- quest and make a recommenda- tion. The council voted to send the request to the planning commis- sion last month but no formal let- ter was sent and the planning commission did not make a rec- ommendation. Until a recommen- dation is made, the council cannot make a decision, so the request will stay in limbo for the next month. Ehret is new county agent for Cooperative Extension A native to Binghamton, New York, Mary Ehret, M.S., R.D. has recently assumed the duties of Extension Agent for Penn State Cooperative Extension in Luzerne County. ; She received her Bachelor of Science from the State University of New York at Oneonta and her Masters in Nutrition at Marywood College. In 1981, Mary obtained her Dietetic Registration from the American Dietetic Association. Mary has held the positions of Director of Food Service for Dallas School District and Berwick Hos- pital Corporation. Prior to working for Penn State Cooperative Exten- sion, Mary was the Nutritionist for ‘Schiffs Inc., a food company in Scranton. One of Mary's responsibilities working for Penn State Coopera- tive Extension will be to supervise a Federal Food and Nutrition Pro-+ gram targeted for limited income families with children in six coun- ties. The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, EFNEP, is designed to help fami- lies with limited incomes to stretch their food dollars to achieve sound diets. Mary will also be repsonsible for adult education in such areas as Foods and Nutrition, Individual and Family Strengths and Home Environment. Mary lives in Dallas with her husband Doug. Library (continued from page 1) tion, which this year concluded July 8, is the biggest annual fun- draiser. But it does not provide a consistent income and does not always reach the goal anticipated by the library board. “Recently, a Titman Memorial Fund was endowed for our library, which has been a wonderful gift since the board can use the an- nual interest in each year’s budget,” Kozemchak explained. “It would, however, take many more ~ than one such endowment to provide sufficient funds for our operational costs,” she said. Liz Lloyd, president of the li- brary board, explained that the library's service to the municipali- ties is measured by the number of books circulated to residents of each municipality. “A recent study done by our vice-president, Atty. Bruce Rosen- thal, shows that the library’s book circulation has increased 25 per- cent over the last five years,” Lloyd said. “Ironically, the most dramatic growth in circulation has been to residents of municipalities which in the past board members had not actively solicited for annual finan- cial support,” Lloyd continued. It should be no surprise to long- time residents of the Back Moun- tain that the business and hous- ing boom in the area has brought with it large increases in the circu- lation of books. “The study showed the largest increase was in Franklin Town- ship, 77 percent; Harveys Lake Borough, 93 percent; Jackson Township, 110 percent; Lehman A study showed the local library receiving far less support than others nearby Township, 52 percent; and Ross Township, 85 percent. The other areas served by the library include Lake Township, Dallas Township, Dallas Borough and Kingston Township. In 1988, according to our library staff members’ statis- tics, 31,000 Back Mountain resi- dents borrowed more than 78,000 books from the library,” Lloyd said. Recently, the board of directors announced a new and ambitious program to enlist broad-based services from the communities it serves, called the ‘Formula For The Future’. “This program is aimed at broadening the base of support to include all the areas we serve and set the level of support requested from each municipality by the number of books circulated to residents of that municipality,” explained Rosenthal. “What we did was take a look at the support from municipalities and school districts received by other libraries within approxi- mately a 15-mile radius of our service area. It was apparent that per book, per patron these other libraries were much better sup- ported. They were supported from 30¢ to 67¢ per book circulated, while our support per book circu- lated averaged aboutll ¢,” Rosen- thal continued. “We decided to settle on a mid- way point and came up with 30¢. We sent out letters explaining that the new goal was to be phased in over a period of three years. The response was encouraging but not 100% by all the municipalities. If the program is successful, the li- brary expects the municipal and district support to increase from $8,300in 198810 $29,900in 1991," Atty. Rosenthal explained. Kozemchak explained that in addition to operational costs, the last major fundraising effort was almost five years ago, when funds were raised to purchase the former Dallas Elementary building, reno- vate it and the move the library into its new home. “As the area continues to grow and the library services continue to increase, the public needs to be aware of the library's financial needs,” Kozemchak said. “The operating budget for 1990 has been cut to the barest necessi- ties,” said president Lloyd. “Receipts from fines, lost books, memory books, donations, state aid, mu- nicipal support, Little People School rent income and the auction can only be estimated. “It is only when the municipali- ties begin to realize their need to support the library as Kingston Township did recently that the board can be assured of a firm budget,” Lloyd said. “Endowments, contributions and memorials are always gratefully accepted, but they are not sufficient in themselves.” CENTURY SOLAR COVER SALE! e Full 8 Mil. « Keeps Water 10° Warmer ALL YOUR POOL NEEDS!
