Townhouses + The Dailas Post Dallas, PA - Wednesday, May 1, 1991 5 (continued from page 1) Wilson said that the whole project will be watched as it goes along but believes the zoning is the issue at hand. “I can see they don't want to throw out a lot of money and then not have the area _|. rezoned,” he said. “That is why we are doing this now.” The application for the rezoning should be resubmitted soon ac- | cording to Varaly. There was some question about whether the old |" request was still valid but the borough solicitor noted that it could be resubmitted if that is what Mrs. Hanson chose to do. Council for Mrs. Hanson said that they would like to resubmit the 3 ,old request with only a new date on it. Because of the date change, Varaly noted that an agreement may be reached between them so that the project will be governed by the current subdivision and land “'|- development ordinances which went into effect at the beginning of “the year. “1 “That area has been empty for the past few years and its good to see “that they want to improve it.” Councilman George Gwilliam agreed. “I like the idea but I think we should get the public in here and get their comments as well,” he “said. ; If the past is a guide, there will be comments from the general -| public on the issue. When the proposal was made last summer some ,| area residents expressed concern over impact studies and the effect _ | the townhouses would have on sewer and water supplies at the lake, as well as on traffic. | The architect involved with the project believes that these are le- 4; gitimate concerns; however he believes they are a bit premature. “We are only asking for a rezoning right now,” said architect Michael -{ Thomas. “Mrs. Hanson is interested in doing a quality project and Popular senior course slated larity of the “55 Alive” senior citi- zen driving course, the instructors have scheduled another session ‘on June 20. ) ' ger Medical Center has been com- |’ rezoned.” whole process.” _| amusement park. 1 all the studies and other requirements will be handled after we get Varaly agreed that all these issues will have to be dealt with but “| after the rezoning. “Th applicant is looking for some assurances that the area can be rezoned,” said Varaly. “This is the first step’in the C2 Although no formal plans have been submitted, reports say that He project will call for approximately 175 townhouses to be built on { the land, which includes lakefront, boathouses and the former HELPING THE POLICE CAR - Members of Brownie Troop #704 at Lake-Noxen Elementary School stand beside "P.C." the police car at the fourth annual clean-up day at Harveys Lake, The brownie troop was one the organizations to take part in the clean-up day.

Hoo DER « (continued from page 1) inquiry to determine if the land _ was actually a wetland. _ “We have a biologist who will go , out and do some field studies and he will determine if there are wetlands and if there was a viola- “tion of some sort,” said Carmon. , Ed Kelly, chairman of the fall fair committee, defended the work .at the grounds. “We are leveling the parking lot to make it safer for .everyone who comes to the fair,” -said Kelly. “We are trying to make ig&provements to the grounds 'b&&ause we are in the business of recreation and we want to make it as nice as possible.” Kelly admitted that DER has been on the grounds but he downplayed the suggestion that crews were filling in wetlands. + “We have talked with DER and are following their orders on what ~ {have to do,” he said. “We are -g84ng through the proper chan- nels and I don't expect any more problems.” #A.Carmon would not say who - frtde the complaint to DER but 2 some sources say that property owners near the fairgrounds have expressed concern over the work being done.: Kelly said he was not aware of who made the complaint but be- lieves the work being done will help the Back Mountain. “We expect this year’s fair to be a fantastic one,” he said. “Recrea- tion is a big factor to us and we want to make sure it is safe and enjoyable for people who come to the fair.” Kelly said that work should be done by the end of May and he does not believe there will be any other problems. Carmon said the field investiga- tion could take up to two weeks. Until that time DER is watching the work being done on the grounds. It is illegal for anyone to fill in wetlands without the proper per- mits and there is no word at this time if the fall fair committee will face any penalties for the alleged violation. Carmon said that would be determined after the results of the investigation are known. ‘'Danella ‘(continued from page 1) Bagley. wagley said. 3 “We are trying to come up with a schedule of rates fair to |, everyone as well as a garbage bag limit fair to everyone,” said Tom -|-, Aschedule of routes and days for the collection of garbage and the disposal of recyclables will be distributed to the news media for publication in the near future,” Bagley said. “We are the only ones trying to recycle everyone.
