Planning Commission
Summary
The Halifax Township Planning Commission met on March 4, 2013, with Chairman Flo Mallonee, Randy Paul, Bob Artman, and Fred Ford present. Township Secretary Carolyn Nye recorded the brief session, which adjourned in under 40 minutes. The agenda centered on two stormwater-related matters — a new farm building plan submitted for review and a request to eliminate an existing detention pond.
- Detention pond removal recommended unanimously: The commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Board of Supervisors authorize Dwight and Emily Hoffman to fill in the detention pond on their property. Motion by Randy Paul, seconded by Bob Artman.
- New stormwater plan submitted for review — Cooper farm building: Rahn and Ann Cooper submitted a stormwater management plan for a proposed 40×50 building on their farm. Rahn Cooper stated the surrounding land is sufficient to handle water runoff and requested a waiver. The plan and review fee were forwarded to the township engineer and commission for evaluation; no vote was taken at this meeting.
- No engineer or solicitor present: The commission determined neither the township engineer nor solicitor was needed for this meeting's agenda items.
