DALLAS TOWNSHIP Fireworks resolutions adopted By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent Township supervisors passed a resolution on March 19 to t consumer fireworks regu- ns. The state already has laws regulating the use of fireworks, but the township’s resolution would give it the authority to require residents to obtain a per- mit. The resolution defines con- sumer fireworks as “any combus- tible or explosive composition or any substance or combina- tion of substances, intended to produce visible and/or audible effects by combustion.” The term doesn’t include ground or hand-held sparklers, novelties or toy caps. The resolution was adopted as a result of complaints from residents and to set guidelines for the use of fireworks within the township. Information required on the permit application includes the name, address and phone num- ber of the applicant; the address of the:site where the fireworks are to be used; the name, ad- dress and phone number of the owners or tenants of the site; and the credentials of the per- son in charge of the fireworks display: Fireworks will not be permit- ted after 11 pm. “They key thing is, if there are complaints, and there is no permit, the police can shut it down,” township solicitor Tom Brennan said of fireworks dis- plays. “If they do have a permit and they are in violation, they’re shut down. We're not out to penalize our citizens. We're just trying to protect their rights.” Seminar will address small games of chance In an effort to provide the most up-to-date information to holders of small games of chance licenses, Rep.

One of the conditions requires 6-foot buffer of plants or screening to be placed along the entire length of the roadway section bordering the Bluff Pointe town- houses. Other conditions include camouflag- ing the tower and supports to blend into the surroundings, maintain general liability insurance in the amount of $1 million per incident and property dam- age insurance also in the amount of $1 million per incident to cover the tower, antenna and structures. Verizon Wireless must also obtain fi- nal approval from the County Planning Commission prior to construction. Three hearings were held since Janu- ary to hear testimony from Verizon and opponents of the tower. Last month, project engineer Andy Petersohn tes- tified a new tower is needed because cellphone and wireless device traffic — primarily from students at Misericordia University — is expected to soon over- whelm existing cell towers and could slow service for all area subscribers or even prevent calls from connecting.
