Citizens ask Marietta Council
to deny permit for pizza parlor
A group of citizens
petitioned Borough Council
to deny rezoning of a
structure on Market Square
for use as a pizza shop
Tuesday night.
Reasons given were that
a pizza shop would en-
courage excessive litter,
loitering, noise, disrespect
for property and use of
alcohol.
Two brothers once oper-
ated a pizza shop at the
same location but closed it
down after some rental
problems arose. Now that
they want to open it again,
they find the borough has
since passed a new zoning
ordinance putting them in a
residential district.
Harold McElroy, chair-
man of the Marietta Plan-
ning Commission, read a
recommendation from his
group that the area not be
rezoned. He said there was
not enough off-street park-
ing and that it may be
included in the historical
zoning.
Roger Richards explained
changes necessary for the
boiler in the Borough Hall,
costing $680.00.
Thomas Gibble, vice
president of St. Joseph
Hospital board of directors,
reviewed plans for the con-
struction of a proposed
medical center on Route
441 at Bank Street.
Plans call for an elevated
building with surface water
to be drained toward Route
441. The two-level $225,000
building would have four
doctors’ suites on the
second floor, with the first
level left vacant for expan-
sion.
Representatives of the
Marietta Recreation Assoc-
iation presented a plan for
Maytown, Mount Joy, and
Marietta to combine to
form the Donegal Area
Playground Association.
The group asked council
to consider earmarking a
sum in the budget toward
future activities and to be a
sponsor of the project.
Marietta Jaycees asked
permission to use borough
streets for its annual Hal-
loween parade on October
28. The parade will form at
Riverview Elementary
School, move west on Mar-
ket Street to the square,
north .on Gay Street to
Walnut Street, east on
Walnut Street to the Jay-
cees headquarters. Water-
ford Avenue would be
closed to traffic for the
awarding of prizes. Jaycees
said they were withdrawing
their community project of
maintaining the square be-
cause of a problem with
council over electricity.
Sakra Engineers present-
ed plans for reconstruction
of Front Street. Council will
review the plans.
Council plans to adver-
tise for garbage and trash
collection and propose an
additional charge for each
dwelling.
Joyce Heiserman was
appointed housing officer
and will be given authority
to initiate prosecutions with
power of police, excluding
arrests.
Mayor Bernard McDevitt
set Saturday, October 30,
as Trick or Treat Night,
from 7 to 9 p.m., for ages
up to 12.
In other business, coun-
cil:
—Awarded the service con-
tract and fuel oil used in
borough buildings to Mike
Mihalik and the gasoline
contract to Sico Company.
—Announced that the
borough will collect leaves
if owners rake or bag them.
Residents with hugh
amounts of leaves are
asked to contact the boro-
ugh office for removal.
—Agreed to advertise for
bids for trash and garbage
collections and proposed an
additional service charge
for dwellings.
No action was taken on
subdivision plans submitted
by the Creative Community
Inc. The plans were for
four townhouses to be built
at East Market and Clay
Streets. No plans for drain-
age were included in the
dwellings.
