Sunday, February 20, 2011 THE DALLAS POST LAKE TOWNSHIP Parking on Route 29, speeding addressed @é Parking alongside Route 29 and speeding vehicles have caused Lake Township supervi- sors to create a No Parking Or- dinance and request that state police increase their presence in the area. On Wednesday night, super- visors agreed to advertise the adoption of a No Parking Ordi- nance at their Feb. 9 meeting. The ordinance will be prepared for supervisors to review and will be voted on at the next meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on March 9 in the municipal build- ing. The proposed No Parking Or- dinance was inspired after sev- eral reports of vehicle near-mis- ses in the area of the Pikes Creek Veterinary Hospital in Lake Township due to large trucks parking alongside the road. The proposed ordinance would prevent parking on the westbound side of Route 29 from the intersection of Route 118 to beyond the veterinary hospital. Several reports of the veterin- arian and clients of the veterin- ary hospital almost being hit be- cause of their inability to see around large trucks parked on the same side of the road spurred the need for the ordi- nance. Secretary Charlene Price said truck drivers park along Route 29 and walk across the street to the mini mart. Trouble with speeding vehi- cles on Route 29 has resulted in the state police having to in- crease patrols. Price said Route 29 has many dangerous curves restricting the line of sight of residents exiting their drive- ways. Speeding vehicles add a potential deadly problem. - Eileen Godin ROSS TOWNSHIP Winter plans discussed After several nuisance snow storms, Ross Township is taking stock and planning ahead for eiext winter . ( ¥ ' On Tuesday night, supervisors approved a motion to purchase 250 tons of road salt through the state’s contract. The salt will be delivered during the summer months. The state contract is re- newed every year at this time, secretary Terry Davis said. Supervisor David Williams said every year the township or- ders the same amount of salt and it seems to last well through the winter. Williams said, despite the many small snowstorms, the township is doing well with the salt reserves. “It is lasting,” he said.

Chairman Stanford Davis said the new fees are: a soil test, $85; a percolation test with no permit, $135; and application for expired permits using prior tests and de- sign, $100. -Eileen Godin Short Term Senior Care Has Visti Angel Calls from ngels!

The reduction will be staggered and may not be completed until 2014. Council passed several mo- tions Wednesday evening in preparation for “spring cleaning” in the borough. Borough Manager Tracey Carr said council is updating ordi- nances, the employee handbook and other areas in order to keep things current in the borough. One of the changes at Wednes- day’s meeting included approv- ing an updated international property maintenance code ordi- nance which won’t change much for residents but gives the code enforcement officer cutting edge knowledge of property mainte- nance and building permits. “It’s just a new version,” said Carr. “There are only a few things that change.” Council also adopted a resolu- tion to establish a policy for the segregation of financial duties among borough employees — something it has been doing for quite a number of years but nev- er enacted a formal policy. “It’s just something to ensure that no one person is in charge of all the finances,” said Carr. “It’s a With every pizza order do not forget your favorite wings, including Heavenly (mild), Purgatory, Hot as Hell, Honey Bar-B-Que and Bud's Special 50/50 Sauce to complete your Forder Noted for having the finest home made pierogies, try some of Mrs. B's Potato and Cheese Pierogies, you will love them.
