The reason for the move, ac- cording to Kingston Township Police Chief and Communications Board Chairman Paul Sabo], is the lack of space in the Dallas Town- ship building. Sabol said that the possibility of moving is still in the planning stages. No contract has been made, and a date has not been set for the move. In preliminary discussions at the Communications Center Board meeting on September 10, ithe Medical Center said it would not charge any rent, and would .re- model the area used by the’ Cént- munications Center. The Communications Center would be responsible for utilities and wiring the area. The Commu- nications Center is also investigat- ing the cost of a tower to put radio antennas on, and a natural gas back-up generator. The board also discussed the difficulty of finding homes without house numbers during an emer- gency and encouraged residents, fo put up numbers. “There's a sign in by the King: ston Borough Building that says I If we can't find you, we cart help you,” said Sabol. ) Township .

Robert Frey, who lives across from the group home agrees with the supervisors. “The Institute for Human Re- sources receives money and board to operate the home which makes it a business. Robert Kotsul, man- ager of Human Resources, should have gone before the board and asked for a variance before putting the people in the house instead of moving them in without permis- sion,” Frey said last week. “Ordi- nances are enacted to control the various areas such as residential and other zoning. What good are they if people ignore them. “The people living in the area of Church Street have nothing against the men. They do believe if one business is allowed to open in the R-1 area what is to stop other indi- viduals from doing the same thing,” said Frey. A next door neighbor who asked toremain anonymous said the men living there are no problem at all but she hates to think it might open the door to other businesses moving in. Wagner said the supervisors will Harveys Lake Chief of Police Lionel Bulford warns that anyone caught putting up signs slander- ing others will be prosecuted tothe file an appeal in the Court .of Common Pleas within 30’ days: “We believe it is a business and'we believe we have to appeal the deect- sion made last Tuesday (Sept. 17), he said. 0] In other business, Nick Desid- erio was granted a side yard: ance at the property orm Hughy-O's.
