Planning Commission
Summary
The Halifax Township Planning Commission met on November 1, 2010, with Chairman Fred Ford presiding alongside Vice Chairman Bob Artman and members Mark Reed and Steve Sipe. Township Engineer Tom Wilson and Solicitor Bruce Warshawsky were also present; member Randy Paul was absent. The brief meeting focused almost entirely on advancing stormwater management regulations required under Pennsylvania's Act 167.
- SALDO amendment recommended for adoption (4-0): The commission unanimously recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt the amended Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO), incorporating stormwater management revisions required under Act 167 along with minor additional changes identified during discussion. Motion by Steve Sipe, seconded by Mark Reed.
- DEP reimbursement flagged: Mark Reed noted the township should submit for reimbursement of legal and engineering review fees once the revised SALDO is adopted, as DEP intends to reimburse up to 75% of those costs when funding is available. Tom Wilson added that fees tied to Act 167 enforcement are also eligible for reimbursement.
- Further SALDO review deferred: The commission agreed to postpone review of remaining SALDO provisions until Tom Wilson consolidates all recently proposed changes into a single working document.
