Dri SORA LPR Sol ma Continued from Page 3 will need to file for a special exception with the zoning board before any plans can be submitted. This is because the area, located near Fairground Road, is not zoned for the spe- ¢ purpose, but could be ted a special exception if certain requirements are met. He also said a meeting for the special exception would need to be scheduled at least two weeks beforehand to alert the public. Kozick said the company will need to acquire a subdivision of the land, which is all owned by one individual. According to the U.S. Depart- ment of Energy, compressor sta- tions are utilized in preserving the flow of natural gas from suppliers to consumers. The gas is compressed at certain inter- vals while being transported through pipelines. The plans come in addition to a proposition from Williams Gas Co. concerning a natural gas metering station in the same ar- ea. No formal plans have been submitted to township officials as of Tuesday concerning the metering station. In other news... ® The board received a letter from Attorney David Selingo on behalf of Back Mountain Base- ball to discuss the possible uti- lization of a 55-acre parcel of land owned by the township to build a baseball field. Solicitor Thomas Brennan said the area in question is the same piece of land where Chief Oil and Gas Co. had asked to lease a 50-foot easement along the perimeter of the community forest. He said he will submit the letter to Nicholas Lylo of the state Department of Forestry to determine whether it will be an appropriate use of the land. He also advised supervisors to meet with the attorney to ex- plore further details on the mat- ter. e Resident Bill Zakosky ad- dressed the board about an on- going issue concerning a neigh- bor’s horses. He approached the board in October about a property locat- ed behind his Route 309 resi- dence and business that main- tained horses and had com- plained about the smell of ma- nure in the area. Kozick said the owner was in violation of the zoning ordi- nance and had taken no action after being given a 30-day no- tice to remove the horses from the property. . He said paperwork has been filed with the district magist- rate and a hearing date is pend- ing. CLAIMS Continued from Page 3 Superintendent Jim McGovern estimated to cost about $4,700 for both teams. Yaple told the board that about 17 helmets have been do- nated from Back Mountain Youth Lacrosse, but 10 more at an estimated cost of about $120 each are still needed. The girls team does not need helmets be- cause girls lacrosse is a non-con- tact sport. : He also said two goals would cost about $1,000 each brand new, but an agreement has been made with West Side Career and Technology Center for stu- dents to make goal frames. The district would only need to pur- chase nets and paint for the homemade goals, which would cost about $515 for both goals. He also said jerseys would cost about $30 each. While Yaple said he has many fundraisers in place, he told the board there is not enough time to raise that much money before the season begins. He has al- ready scheduled some home games, and transportation for away games will be primarily by way of carpooling. The board also discussed field usage with Yaple, and whether an appropriate space on the campus is feasible for the teams. The season is set to start in early March.

Council member Lar- ry Radel was not in attendance. In November 2010, many resi- dents requested that borough council hold a public meeting to openly discuss the CELDF ordi- nance proposal, called the Har- veys Lake Community Water Rights and Local Self Govern- ment Ordinance. It would prohibit any corpora- tion from extracting natural gas within the borough, stating it is unlawful to use water from any source to extraction natural gas. Borough attorney Charles McCormick afterward said the ordinance proposal was not the only way for the borough to pro- tect itself. “The borough is not defense- less,” he said. “The borough code is very strong and we are looking at other ways to firm up. Everyone agrees this is an envi- ronmentally sensitive area.” ¢ The following people were appointed: Richard Williams III to a five-year term, ending 2015, to the municipal authority; Mike Garrity, to a three-year term, ending 2013, to the Zon- ing Hearing Board; John Kop- icki to a three-year term, ending 2013, to the Planning Commis- sion; John Levitsky, Mike Daily and Sid Halsee to three-year terms, all ending 2013 to the En- vironmental Advisory Commit- tee. e Chairman Francis Kopko added there are still two posi- tions open on EAC, one serving until 2012 and the other until 2013.
