4 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Dallas, PA Thursday, May 09, 2002 Board continues to discuss Windsor Farms proposal BY TIMOTHY J. RAUB Post Staff KINGSTON TWP. After more than a month of debate, the Kingston Township Board of Supervisors [ATES took action IAN\NPYR'EJ Tuesday night to dismiss ru- mors and clarify decisions made thus far concerning the Windsor Farms subdivision. The board heard questions and comments from John Hal- bing, the proposed subdivision’s developer; George Albert, of G and Albert Consulting; Chris Borton, the township's engineer who has reviewed and made made recommendations regard- ing Windsor Farms; residents from Sunrise Estates and sur- rounding neighborhoods and Ed Price, chairman for Kingston Township's planning committee — all key players in recent dis- cussions about the subdivision. Although no decisions were made about the fate of the sub- division, board vice-chairman J. Carl Goodwin said throughout the meeting that the informa- tion provided by those involved would be key in his actions re- garding Windsor Farms. The hearing, which lasted well over three hours, gave residents the chance to let the board know where they stood on the major issues surrounding the subdivision, and gave Halbing, his consultant and legal advisor the opportunity to answer ques- tions posed from both the board and the residents. A practice run for Wednesday night's voting session, the hear- ing was another step toward clearing the way for the develop- ment of Windsor Farms, as well as a chance for a board with a majority of new members to pre- pare for votes on waivers and in the near future, the preliminary plans. A decision on the subdivi- sion’s preliminary plan is ex- pected in the next few weeks, as a 40-day extension is about midway through its course. Giv- en the strong feelings about the development, the board's deci- sion to hold a separate special hearing on the issue seems to have been a step in the right di- rection. Plan (continued from page 1) said Goodwin. “There has been a lot of growth in the town- ship since 1974, and I think it is time that we start evaluating some areas. I don’t think the present board should be bound by the mistakes of past boards.” Goodwin, who originally thought the commission should be nine members in size, said it could be a lot larger after view- ing a list of members for a simi- lar committee in Dallas Bor- ough. He said that a number of Kingston Township residents have expertise that would bene- fit the commission, and said he would welcome anyone who is interested in serving. “(Kingston Township is) sub- urban, but a lot of the areas are starting to look more urban,” said Goodwin. “We're now deal- ing with a lot more traffic, and the township could use some re- vising and revitalizing.” Goodwin feels that a long- range planning commission should not be limited to Kingston Township. He said he has already contacted officials Agi We just want sensible { reason: from Jackson Township and Dallas Borough, and hopes that Dallas and Franklin townships would also join forces in a total Back Mountain long-range plan- ning commission. “Any time you bring more peo- ple together, you are going to get more diverse opinions and be- liefs that will be helpful in the development of this commis- sion,” said Goodwin. “I want (the commission) to dream. I want them to come up with the idea that can make us more like a perfect community.” Township reminds residents to keep right-of-way clear Kingston Township residents and property owners are re- minded not to place encroach- ments, such as fences, land- scaping timbers, trees, shrubs or any other item within the Township street right-of-way. Property owners need to be aware that they do not own up to the edge of the roadway. Street right-of-ways vary from 33 to 50 feet. Residents that are unsure of the width of their street may call the Township Office for further information. It is very important that the right-of-way remain free of en- croachments for snow removal, utility construction and street maintenance. Residents are also reminded that this area is not their prop- erty and that the Township has the authority to order removal or to remove, the encroach- ments from the street or road right-of-way. The Township is asking for cooperation - from all residents in respecting the public right- of-way. Residents with ques- tions may call the Township Administrative Office at 696- 3809.
