The status of the brief was not announced. 4 Zoning Officer John Krupa gave an update on citing American’ Asphalt. “I did cite them for min- ing in an Agricultural Zone,” he | said. Krupa explained that any @) one cited gets 30.days to rectifyg the problem, but in this case, they appealed to the township zoning board. The next step would be the § ~ Court of Common Pleas, not the | Magistrate, as originally thong by the supervisors. : Several questions from the au dience went unanswered due to" their legal nature and the ab-g | sence of Solicitor Evans. This | case will be presented at the up- | | coming October 12 zoning board | meeting. Ed Chesnovitch ex-4 pressed concern that the town- i ship would need to be represented 3 by Evans or someone with exper- tise in these specific cases at the | hearing. It was pointed out that | Attorney Geddes is the solicitor | for the zoning board, so Evans might have little or no input “» that meeting.
