Sunday, March 20, 2011 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 13 DRILLING Continued from Page 3 not in any way support natural gas drilling in Harveys Lake Bor- ough, but I cannot and will not vi- olate state law to stop it,” before voting no on the ordinance. fam Councilman Boyd Barber ab- tained from voting at the advice of the borough solicitor because he has signed gas leases for prop- erty he owns in Wyoming Coun- Ordinance backers touted the ordinance as offering more pro- tection for the borough than its zoning ordinance can provide. “We don’t control the wa- tershed because we're in a bowl, and to the extent that this ordi- nance can help us do that, I think that the council should consider it,” resident Mike Dziak said. “I'm concerned about our ability to control things that aren’t in our hands, and it isn’t in our hands, and the zoning thing just doesn’t doit.” Others, including Harveys Lake Environmental Advisory Council member Michael Daley, borough planning consultant Jack Varaly and borough Solic- itor Charles D. McCormick ar- gued enacting the ordinance could expose the borough to le- gal liability. Daley called the ordinance “le- gal gamesmanship” and “a gam- ble” that “clearly violates the state oil and gas law” that could cost the borough hundreds of thousands to defend in court. Varaly said the ability to ban gas drilling is ultimately a ques- tion of land use and falls under the authority of municipal zon- ing, and described how the bor- ough could strengthen its zoning ordinance to effectively prohibit drilling without adopting the or- dinance. McCormick called the ordi- nance “overly broad” and “legally questionable,” particularly in its outlining of the inalienable rights of natural communities and eco- systems, and said “it will most likely cause significant difficulty for the residents down the road completely outside of the ques- tion of the gas drilling.” After the meeting, Boice said she was disappointed that coun- cil did not adopt the ordinance and that she “won’t give up. I'll continue. This isn’t the last Har- veys Lake has heard from us. “We're going to try to support people in the upcoming election who are going to honor the will of the people,” she continued. “We, - meaning the people of Harveys Lake who overwhelmingly sup- port this ordinance. We have to elect people who will honor the will of the people.” COMING Continued from Page 3 sources, Talisman Energy and the Marcellus Shale Coalition. “I mean, do you really trust that an ordinance or the guts of an ordinance coming from PSATS is going to not have a con- flict of interests?” she asked. Brennan said the PSATS orga- nization is a “good, strong source of information,” and he doesn’t believe the conference sponsors will interfere with the ordinance research. He added the township has been trying to deal with a (@oving target,” and he is anx- ously waiting to view the pro- posed ordinance. “We're grateful for the letter, but you should know it’s under- way,” said Brennan. Brennan said the ordinance will be presented and then adver- tised, for public view before it is CIVIC BRIEFS Alzheimer’s group meets March Zl The Dallas Alzheimer’s Support Group will meet from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Mon- day, March 21 at the Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 55 W.
