Dallas, PA Wednesday, October 7, 1992 Jackson (continued from page 1) strung along the top and bottom, instead of the six-foot fence rein- forced by cross-rails at the top, middle and bottom that the town- ship's zoning ordinance requires. The zoning hearing board had adjourned the meeting until Octo- ber 5 to give Banks time to provide written confirmation of his com- munications with DER, and to give zoning hearing board members time to look at the fence if they wished to. Although sections of the quarry's fence currently meet township specifications, large sections of the original fence, made of four-foot high turkey wire, are either badly deteriorated or have fallen down. Adjoining property owners have repeatedly voiced their concerns about the possibility of someone going through the fence and acci- dentally falling into the quarry to zoning officer Robert Culp. At Monday's meeting, Banks and Ward presented a written report of DER's last inspection of the com- pany's operation, which included an order to build a fence around one of the quarries on the prop- erty. Banks and Ward did not pro- vide any written confirmation of their previous statements that DER had recommended construction of a specific type of fence reinforced with wire cable instead of solid cross-rails. “DER told me that they don't send out letters like this,” Ward said. “They told me that they would mail me copies of their mining fence specifications, but I haven't received them yet.” When asked why he had not requested DER to fax him the specifications, Ward replied, “We have two fax machines at our company. DER told me that they ! \ Jackson Twp. holds last meeting in fire hall By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff An era ended in Jackson Town- ship Monday night, October 5, as the board of supervisors adjourned its last meeting in the Jackson Township fire hall. Starting November 2, the super- visors will meet in the newly reno- vated municipal building on Huntsville Road, after a year of headaches, delays and unforeseen catastrophes. Last winter, cleanup crews unearthed six oil storage drums and more than 1,200 tons of oil- contaminated soil, costing the township more than $200,000 to clean up. During the oil tank cleanup, the building contractor went belly-up. The subcontractors quit because the contractor hadn't paid them. All renovation work stopped. Anything that could have gone wrong, did. Things began to look brighter by the beginning of October, as the bonding company settled up with the subcontractors and gave the township permission to finish renovations on its own. The police department has almost completed moving into its new offices, complete with a hold- ing cell, from its' former cramped quarters in a poorly-heated old office trailer on Mountain Road. New police and emergency tele- phone numbers will be publicized as soon as the contractors install the new telephone system in the police station, police chief Don Jones said. The supervisors will schedule a dedication ceremony at a later date. In other business, the supervi- sors approved: ¢ An ordinance setting the speed limit on Gates Road between Chase and Follies Roads at 25 m.p.h. A resolution setting the pave cut fees at $25 for each inspection, $10 for the first 2' x4' pave cut and $10 for every additional pave cut in a work project. Supervisors gave police chief Jones permission to donate three ten-speed bicycles which police have been unable to locate owners for, to the fire department, possi- bly to be used as part of a fund- raiser. Police found the bicycles abandoned in various locations in the township more than a year ago. Jones also reported that the township's speed tapes and elec- tric monitoring box had been damaged by a driver attempting to avoid a speed trap on Chase Road near Pine Tree Road. Jones said that the tapes were ripped up from the road and the monitoring box damaged when the unidentified man's car slid 84 feet trying to slow down to 35 m.p.h. and avoid the speed trap. The supervisors authorized so- licitor Blythe Evans to contact the driver-to arrange payment for the damage, estimated by Jones to be more than $500. If the driver doesn't pay, the township will at- tempt to collect the damages through his insurance company or possibly through a complaint filed with the magistrate. 288-3500 Mark Plaza, Edwardsville, Rt. 11 586-6000 Rts. 6 & 11, Clarks Summit N.E.

American Asphalt's fence con- tractor, Jack Kratz, testifed that the fence that he is building around Quarry 1 “is in accordance with all of these specifications.” “This is a lot of hogwash!” com- mented John Phillips, whose prop- erty adjoins Banks’. “If DER told American Asphalt to put up a cer- tain kind of fence, it would be documented. There is no proof that fence!” Banks had testifed September 28 that a fence without rails"is flexible and too unstable for dny- one to climb over, while a chain- link fence with cross-rails is rigid, like a ladder, and easily cliribed over. Although zoning variances are usually obtained before construlc- tion begins, zoning hearing board members said that construction was allowed before the variance was granted because Banks had been ordered by DER to begin erecting the fence by September 28. Zoning officer Robert Culp was DER recommended a tension wire not available for comment.
