He has already applied for a CIP grant to handle problems with two properties within the borough. and has found another from the county which will enable the bor- ough to tear down the remains of the two-family house on 112 Main St. which was gutted by a fire last January. Borough Solicitor Mat- thew Reinert is in the process of checking out the legal aspects of the situation before the grant is applied for. Another item on the agenda for the new year is revision and up- dating of the borough's zoning ordinance. which was last revised in 1991. Moskovitz brought up the subject to council at the De- cember work session. “I thought it would be a good idea to open dialogue with the council.” he later said. Moskovitz says he intends to study Kingston Township's ordi- nance for “inspiration,” and to work with borough zoning officer John Donahue. who will draw from his experience as zoning officer for Larksville on the questions of permits and enforcement. Increasing permit requirements will generate more revenue for the borough. but it will also provide an increased measure of security toborough residents both in terms of protection from “fly-by-night” and disreputable contractors and the avoidance of accidents. "Pub- lic safety is an issue. but we don’t need to be lunatics.” Moskovitz said. He repeated a concern voiced by councilman John Oliver at the work session when the subject was broached: "There's a fine line that you need to walk between obtrusiveness on property own- ers. yet adequately protecting the safety of the members of the com- munity.” The regular monthly meeting of the Dallas Borough Council will now be held on the third Wednes- day of each month at 7:30 p.m. The work session will be held on the Monday prior to the meeting at 7 p.m. The next monthly meet- ing will be on Jan. 17.
