TOWNSHIP ENGINEER

SLD Docket No.2004-09, Liberty Point

Mr. Flint spoke about the final street paving being completed in this development last week. He said that the original design for the neighborhood included an island being placed in the center of the entrance of Liberty Cove off of Thompson Lane. Street design ordinances have changed since then regarding neighborhoods with a single entrance/exit and they are no longer required to have an island. The builder, Roland Builders, and neighborhood HOA are not in favor of the island being constructed as they feel is it not necessary. Mr. Flint provided a view of the intersection on the overhead screen.

 

Commissioner KUTZ moved to modify the approved Subdivision Plan to remove the pavement markings delineating a median island. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and it carried 4-0.

 

Mr. Flint then explained why there is a request by Roland Builders to modify the requirement in section 192-50 to provide a Maintenance Guarantee for required improvements. He said that it is standard practice for the Township to require this guarantee, in the amount of 15% of the construction costs, for 18 months in case there would be any defects with the road. Since the road base at Liberty Point has been in existence for about 15 years, only the wearing course is new. Mr. Flint suggested three options for the maintenance guarantee:  

1. 15% Maintenance Guarantee on the entire cost of the project for 18 months.
2. 15% Maintenance Guarantee on just the wearing course for 18 months.
3. Waiver of a Maintenance Guarantee requirement.

 

Mr. Flint said that since it’s a financial issue, it is up to the discretion of the Board. Vice President Black asked if any repairs have been needed on the roads in the past and Mr. Flint said that there have not been.

 

Vice President BLACK moved to waive the Maintenance Fee on the original roads but keep the 15% Maintenance Guarantee for the wearing course for 18 months. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 3-1, with President VILLONE opposing.

 

SLD Docket No. 2020-01: Revised Overall Master Plan For Arcona Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND)

Mr. Flint spoke about some minor modifications having been made to phase 8.1 of the plan which, by ordinance, requires presentation of the Overall Master Plan, (OMP). He invited Mr. Anthony Faranda-Diedrich from Charter Homes to speak about the plan. Mr. Faranda-Diedrich congratulated the Township staff who had been recognized for years of service and thanked them for their support. He said that some layout changes are being made on the section west of the railroad tracks to account for the design of phase 8.1. The trail network has remained the same. At the request of the Board, Mr. Faranda-Diedrich put the OMP on the overhead screen and discussed the changes. He said the residential space has been reconfigured in Phase 8 to the south of Rossmoyne Road. On the 2020 plan, the area between Rossmoyne Road and the Turnpike previously planned for residential apartments is now going to be developed as office space. An at-grade crossing is planned for the railroad.

 

Vice President Black asked what is planned for the field that is by the Lesher Farm and Mr. Faranda-Diedrich replied that the barn and farmhouse will be preserved. Commissioner Schin asked about the at-grade railroad crossing and he was told that there will be separate pedestrian and bike arm that comes down next to the vehicle arm. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be funneled in at the crossing so they cannot go around the arm if a train is coming. Commissioner Kutz expressed his appreciation of preservation of the farmstead and barn.

Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve SLD Docket No. 2020-01, the Revised Overall Master Plan For Arcona Traditional Neighborhood Development. Vice President BLACK seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

 

SLD Docket No. 2014-01:  Arcona Highpoint Phases 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4

Mr. Flint explained that when this plan was approved, it included curbing and in-fill paving. Due to the anticipated roundabout construction, a five year deferral, through a Memorandum of Understanding, was permitted by the Township. This expired in 2019. Charter Homes would now like a waiver of the requirement to provide curbs and in-fill paving. Mr. Faranda-Diedrich stated that the Township is still holding financial security for installation of curb along the entire lengths of Lisburn and Arcona Roads. He explained that the curbs do not fit into the design of Highpoint because people are coming from a more rural road into a developed area, especially as they enter from the south. The curb will signify a transition and Charter would like this to be gradual. Mr. Faranda-Diedrich said that this will be a waiver request. President Villone asked if this issue will be brought before the Planning Commission and he was told that it would be. He said that Board will be taking action on this after that time and the rest of the Commissioners agreed. Mr. Logan wished to withdraw his comment at this time.

 

SLD Docket No. 2020-05:  Arcona Phase 8.1

Mr. Flint provided an orientation of the area where Phase 8.1 is located on the overhead screen. The area is divided by the pipeline easement running through and contains a large stormwater basin. He said that attached and detached single family homes are anticipated to be built in this area. Mr. Flint noted that there is only one full access intersection, as PennDOT wants the secondary access to be for emergencies only. President Villone said that he was contacted by a resident with concerns about sight distances on Rossmoyne Road for the construction entrances. Mr. Flint said that they are temporary but are probably close to where the final intersection will be. He said PennDOT will get it figured out as it is still under review. Mr. Flint said that this Docket was discussed at a couple of Planning Commission meetings and some suggestions have led to changes that were made to the Plan. He said that the Planning Commission did recommend approval of the Plan with some contingencies. One of these is the requirement in the ordinance for every home to be within 2,000 feet of the core neighborhood. The homes in Phase 8.1 will not be within 2,000 feet until additional development is completed. Mr. Flint said that Charter will have to compose a declaration to the Township stating how this issue will be addressed and the Board will have to approve it before the Plan can be recorded.

 

Charlie Courtney, of McNees, Wallace, & Nurick, spoke about the length of time required for this large of a project and how they were unable to start with a complete preliminary plan. He said that therefore the project was broken down into phases; when all phases are complete, all of the requirements will be met. He said that core areas exist but are not built up at once and there will be houses outside of the 2,000 feet requirement until it is complete. Mr. Courtney said that the Declaration would reiterate the requirement and put it on record. Vice President Black asked where Charter is in the HOP process with PennDOT. Mr. Faranda-Diedrich replied that they have had a Scope application approved and are working on the traffic impact study.  

 

WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS

The Board of Commissioners chose to take the modifications and waivers for SLD Docket No. 2020-05 separately for action as follows:

 

1. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the waiver of the requirement contained in Section 192-24.C to submit a Preliminary Plan. Vice President BLACK seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.
2. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the waiver of the requirement contained in Section 192-57.B(2)(b) that new lots have frontage and access on a street, to allow frontage and access from alleys. Vice President BLACK seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

3. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the modification of the requirement contained in Section 192-57.C(9) to provide sidewalks along all street frontage, to allow pedestrian access to be provided as shown on the plan. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion with a question. Mr. Flint responded that all street frontage may not have sidewalks but will have pedestrian routes. Rossmoyne Road will have a trail that goes through the neighborhood. Interior streets will have sidewalks. Motion carried 4-0.

4. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the modification to the requirement contained in Section 192-51.C to allow the Final Plan to be recorded prior to issuance of a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) by PennDOT, contingent upon review and concurrence with the scope of improvements and the location and type of access by PennDOT. The HOP must be issued prior to occupancy of any units within the Plan. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion failed 2-2, with President VILLONE and Vice-President BLACK in opposition.

5. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the waiver of the requirement contained in Section 192-57.C(1)(c) that requires an approach to an intersection to have a maximum grade of 4% for a minimum distance of 60 feet, grant modification of the requirement that street grades not exceed 4% within 60 feet of an intersection, to allow:

• A grade of 5.50% on Wayland Road at Rossmoyne Road and at Eckford Park.
• A grade of 5.19% on Wayland Road at Lesher Drive.
• A grade of 5.00% on Parade Street at Eckford Road.
• A grade of 5.63% on Eckford Road at Wayland Road, Parade Street and Eckford Park.

 

Commissioner Kutz noted that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of these. Commissioner Schin asked what effect the changes in grade have. Mr. Flint said that the grades are put in place to help with winter driving so the intersections are not excessively steep. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 3-1, with Vice-President BLACK in opposition.

6. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the modification of the requirement that intersections of local streets be offset by a minimum of 150 feet, to allow an offset distance of 90 feet for the intersections of:

• Eckford Park and Parade Street with Eckford Park.
• Egreton Road and Revival Drive with Parade Street.

 

Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion. Mr. Flint said that this is due to being a dense neighborhood and also slow speeds. They have been checked for sight distance. Vice President Black is not in favor of moving the intersections closer together and said streets have been an issue in this neighborhood in the past. Commissioner Kutz said that the Planning Commission recommended this modification and Mr. Logan confirmed that. The motion failed 2-2, with Vice-President BLACK and Commissioner SCHIN in opposition. 

7. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the modification of curb construction requirements to allow construction of Belgian block curb in lieu of concrete. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and asked if the Township will be plowing the streets with the Belgian block curbs. Mr. Flint said that they will if they are on dedicated streets; however, the Township is not responsible if a plow damages the curb but rather the homeowner is. Motion carried 4-0.

8. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the modification of the requirement contained in Section 192-60.I to allow fees in lieu of recreation land to be paid as construction permits are issued, rather than before the plan is recorded. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

 

President Villone noted that the waiver and modifications are not contrary to the public interest, and they maintain the purpose and intent of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.

 

CONTINGENCIES

1. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the contingency of providing documentation that underground utilities have approved the proposed work over their facilities and within their easements. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

2. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the contingency of executing the Developers Agreement and providing financial security for improvements. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

3. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the contingency of providing the executed Stormwater Facilities and BMP Maintenance Agreement. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

4. Commissioner KUTZ moved to approve the contingency of executing a Declaration approved by the Board of Commissioners regarding completion of the Core Neighborhood. Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion and the motion carried 3-1, with Commissioner SCHIN in opposition.

 

President Villone asked why there was hesitation to approve the requirement from having the HOP. Mr. Flint said that according to ordinance, the HOP has to be issued before a plan can be recorded. Charter is requesting to record the plan before they have the Highway Occupancy Permit. It would still have to be issued before occupancy was granted. Vice President Black added that there have been no designs completed yet. Mr. Courtney said that he is confident that Charter will be approved for the HOP without issue. Waiting for the HOP to be issued, could take months. He requested that the Board reconsider letting them do construction and layout of the streets at the developer’s risk. Vice President Black said he would reconsider if he was shown a design. President Villone suggested that Mr. Flint work with Vice President Black and Mr. Courtney to resolve the HOP requirement issue. President Villone spoke about communicating with Charter and the residents of Arcona and he is encouraged that discussion will be taking place between both groups.

 

Commissioner SCHIN moved to approve SLD Docket No. 2020-05, Subdivision and Land Development Plan for Arcona Phase 8.1, with the above contingencies. Commissioner KUTZ seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

 

Public Comment

Jeannine Rock, 433 Woolford Way, said that she appreciates the comments tonight. She added that no meeting has occurred yet between Charter Homes and the residents and she would like to have this take place.

 

Invoice No. 3 to TRC Engineers, Inc.

Commissioner SCHIN moved to approve payment of Invoice No. 3 to TRC Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $26,870.47 for Construction Inspection services on the Gettysburg Road Relocation Project. Vice President BLACK seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0.

 

FINANCE

Advertisement of Ordinance to Refinance Bonds

Mr. Grove spoke about the Township’s financial advisors, Concord Public Finance, seeking bank proposals for refinancing bonded debt. He said this will not provide additional money for projects and the terms of the bonds will stay the same. It will provide the Township with financial savings. After reaching out to 30 local and regional banks, they have provided the best proposals from the 7 responses. For the tax-exempt bonds, the best choice is BB&T Bank which offered a rate of .95%. For the taxable pension bond, Adams County National Bank offered a fixed rate of 1.71%. This will result in a savings of $236,000.00. To continue the process, Mr. Grove requested that the Board authorize the advertisement of an ordinance. Everything could then be wrapped up at the next meeting. He noted that Mr. Daryl Peck from Concord is in attendance as well as Jen Caron, Bond Attorney, from Eckert Seamans. President Villone thanked Mr. Grove for his work in finding a way to save the Township money during a challenging time. He also thanked the financial professionals for their parts in the refinancing.

 

Commissioner KUTZ moved to authorize staff to advertise an ordinance to refinance bonded debt and Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

 

Advertisement of Ordinance Guaranteeing Authority Debt

Mr. Grove said that the Lower Allen Authority is also interested in refinancing debt. They are seeking a lower rate as well. Commissioner KUTZ moved to authorize an Ordinance to guarantee authority debt and Commissioner SCHIN seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

 

PUBLIC SAFETY

Director Holl said that he and Captain Crone regretfully request the Board’s agreement with the retirement of K-9 Rocco. He noted Rocco’s physical difficulties and that his trainer Officer Scarlato has requested Rocco’s retirement. The vehicle will not need to be replaced and the police department is not seeking a new K-9 at this time. The K-9 officer is frequently at training and this contributes to the officer shortage. President Villone thanked the local businesses and individuals who have contributed to the K-9 program. Director Holl said that Rocco would continue to live with the Scarlato family. Vice President BLACK moved to approve the retirement of K-9 Officer Rocco and Commissioner KUTZ seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

 

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Ordinance 2020-02:  Modified Parking Standards

Mrs. Trone spoke about Charter’s intent to meet with their residents to discuss modifying certain parking standards in the Traditional Neighborhood Development overlay district. After delaying the hearing, Charter has withdrawn their request until they have time to speak with residents.

 

MANAGER

Noise Ordinance and Fireworks Discussion

Mr. Vernau led a discussion on what can be done about fireworks in Lower Allen Township. He said that the Noise Ordinance includes fireworks and they are banned from being set off in Township parks. They are not currently banned from streets and sidewalks. He suggested instead of addressing fireworks in 3 separate ordinances, a specific fireworks ordinance could be drafted. He provided an example from a local municipality. President Villone did not feel that fireworks are currently an issue but Commissioner Schin felt it is in his neighborhood. Commissioner Kutz said that his neighbors have also complained about fireworks in Sheepford but it is difficult to enforce. Mr. Miner said that an advantage of having a separate fireworks ordinance would be in the event of a repeal of Act 43 of 2017, the Township ordinance could also be repealed and not affect other ordinances. He felt the noise ordinance is appropriate as it stands. President Villone said that tightening the ordinance puts more pressure on law enforcement resources when they are already strained. Mr. Miner noted that the fireworks issue has been coming up in the legislature so there may be changes coming.

 

Mr. Vernau said that instead of creating a new fireworks ordinance, an option would be to add to the current Streets and Sidewalks ordinance. He said that an adjustment is currently needed so it would be feasible to do both things. The Board supports adjusting the current ordinance and waiting to see what the legislature comes up with before taking further action. Mr. Vernau asked if anyone was interested in adjusting the times given in the noise ordinance which are currently no noise between 11 pm and 7 am. They could be adjusted to 10 pm. He said this would need discussion at a future meeting as the noise ordinance covers a lot of different types of noises.

 

Amendments to Chapter 187, Streets & Sidewalks

Mr. Vernau spoke about the problem that comes up in the winter months with enforcement of vehicles on the street and sidewalk snow removal.  He said the ordinance needs some changes in wording related to when and how penalties can be applied. One of these is in Section 187-67, the violations and penalties section. Section 209-9, the parking and traffic violations section, would be referenced in 187.  Mr. Eby added that the Township does not issue tickets for not shoveling; if it continues to be a problem, the offender will get a summary citation. Captain Crone said the Township tries to provide help and resources to the residents who need help with shoveling sidewalks. The Board gave permission to Mr. Vernau to draft ordinance amendments to 187-64 and 187-67 to be presented at the next meeting.

 

West Shore Recreation Payment Request.

Mr. Vernau reminded the Board that the West Shore Recreation Commission requested full payment at the beginning of 2021 from the Township to offset financial loss due to COVID. They have now instead requested that the Township pay the first installment prior to the beginning of the year. Commissioner SCHIN moved to approve early payment of the first installment of 2021 contribution to the West Shore Rec Commission. Commissioner KUTZ seconded the motion and the motion carried 4-0. Vice President Black added that it has been a very financially difficult year for West Shore Rec due to COVID restrictions and loss of available facilities for swimming programs. Mr. Grove has confirmed that the expenditure can be deferred into 2021.

 

President Villone announced that the meeting would adjourn to Executive Session following Commissioner Reports. 

 

COMMISSIONER REPORTS

Captain Crone spoke about a successful recent Drug Task Force event where a search warrant led to two drug arrests and shut down a neighborhood nuisance. He also said that the No Shave and Nifty Nails program was beginning again this year with proceeds going to Pink Hands of Hope. They have been hit hard by COVID as well and all donations are welcome. Officer Kim Moore has organized the Pink Patch program as well, where sales of pink Lower Allen Police patches benefit Pink Hands of Hope. The suggested donation is $10.

 

Mr. Eby talked about the Fall outreach program normally held by Yellow Breeches Watershed Association being a Zoom outreach program this year in November. There will be a program about stormwater as part of this. He said that a zoning amendment request has been received from 701 Belmont Road in the Harrisburg Manor. This will be discussed in a staff meeting and could be a discussion at the next BOC meeting.

 

Mr. Holl spoke about Bryce Landis and Amy Nye graduating from the National Honor Guard Academy for Cumberland County. They are trained in providing support for line of duty deaths for police, fire, and EMS. Mr. Holl expressed his pleasure at having Lower Allen employees with these qualifications. Mr. Holl also said that DJ Delozier will be at the Township building to swear in some of the PSO’s as well as Maggie Cruz and Becky Davis, so that they can write citations.

 

In response to a question on PSO duties from Commissioner Kutz, President Villone requested that the Board be provided with logs of what the current PSO duties are.  Mr. Holl also noted that the Civil Service Commission will be meeting Friday morning to certify a list of eligible police officers. He will then be coming before the Board with the list and a proposal for hiring. Commissioner Kutz asked Mr. Holl if he anticipates seeking approval before the budget process. Mr. Holl said that they have funding in the budget for an officer to replace one who retired and to fill the police officer position from this past July. He does not want to lose candidates by not extending offers quickly enough.

 

Mr. Vernau said that the Sheetz is close to opening but residents have expressed concerns that not all exterior items are completed. He does not feel it would be a reason to delay their opening. Mr. Flint said that the intersections around Sheetz continue to be safe as they have been for years with the previous gas station. He said signal equipment is being put in but some items have been backordered. They will use regular signs while awaiting electronic signs. He also said that numerous utility street cuts were needed so Sheetz is waiting until they are finished to mill and repave the street. They are going ahead with the street markings even though they will have to be redone at their expense. He is confident that there is nothing unsafe that would prevent their opening on Wednesday. Sheetz plans to be done with pedestrian upgrades by the start of school on October 13^th. Commissioner Kutz asked Mr. Flint to pass along the information to the residents of Allendale who have expressed concerns.

Commissioner Kutz congratulated K-9 Rocco and said that the program has had a great impact on the community and kids. He spoke about visiting more local businesses soon as well as hosting a small business roundtable in October.

 

Vice President Black requested that Mrs. Trone update the Board on recent activities with the Development Authority. Mrs. Trone said that the Development Authority has entered into an agreement of sale with a developer for Lower Allen Commons. She said that details are still being worked out. Once the agreement is complete, there is a 60-day period for due diligence and closing should be able to be held by the end of the year. She said this would include everything except the hotel site.

 

President Villone spoke about the residents of Liberty Point complimenting Mr. Flint on his work and appreciated him attending their meeting. He said the people living there are happy with their neighborhood. President Villone also spoke about receiving more interaction with the public since the meetings have been online. It has been good communication and he feels things are moving in the right direction.

 

ADJOURNMENT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION

The Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners adjourned at 9:40 pm to discuss lawsuit dismissal and Board and Commission appointments.
