The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 8, 2000 Junkyard (continued from page 1) stream that runs by there, but more than anything I think it's a matter of community pride,” said Bob Bolton, who lives just a short distance from Kunkle Motors. “People, especially young people come here from out of state, don't want to settle in a township where some- thing like that is allowed to go on for years.” Dallas Township's zoning ordinance requires junkyards to be fenced in order to protect neighbors from unsightly col- lections and to ensure tres- passers cannot access poten- tially dangerous areas. “The problem is how do you define a junkyard?” asked Glen Howell, cars for parts. But I know the people who live out there cer- tainly feel it is.” The zoning ordinance de- fines a junkyard as, “A place where waste, discarded or sal- vaged materials are bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, cleaned, packed, dis-as- sembled or handled, includ- ing auto wrecking yards...” The regulations are straight- forward, said Doug Higgins, a police officer and volunteer firefighter who lives and works in Dallas Township. “He (Mr. Meeker) can't be using those cars for parts,” he said. “Some of them have been sitting there for 20 years. I think the town- ship has to take steps to make sure the code is being enforced butitjust seems like they keep putting problems on the back burner hoping they'll go away.” Supervisors have discussed their concerns with Meeker several times but a solution satisfying all parties has not been reached. “We have talked with him about it in the past,” said Howell. “There seem to be a few junkyards around the Junk cars litter the area around Kunkle Motors. The cars inthe foreground are only one of the areas where Saabs and other cars 30 or more years old are resting. country and I thought at one time they were supposed to be done away with or at the very least fences were supposed to be put up around them. I don't know what became of that, but it seems like the kind of thing DEP (the state Depart- ment of Environmental Pro- tection) would have to enforce.” Mark Carmon, DEP spokes- person, said the agency does not TrToutinely: inspect junkyards. “We don’t have any regulations which govern the operation of junkyards,” he said. “Normally, monitoring falls under the jurisdiction of local municipalities unless they specifically request our help.” Frustrated residents would accept assistance from any- one able to address their con- cerns. “There are kids running through there all the time,” said Higgins. “My biggest fear is that somebody is going to get hurt playing around down there.” Fencing the property may serve as a deterent to children but it would create other haz- ards said Meeker. “You don't wnat me putting up a 10 foot fence around there,” he said. “Drivers coming down from the lake wouldn't be able to see cars coming from the other way and you'd have all kinds of problems.” Others disagree, saying a border would benefit those liv- ing nearby and the township as a whole. “I would think the junkyard has to affect prop- erty values and growth in the community,” said Bolton. “Kunkle has a lot of prime real estate available that would be super for development, but most people don’t want to have to drive past a junkyard every- day.” "OBITUARIES RONALD C.
