Planning Commission

The Halifax Township Planning Commission met on October 6, 2014, called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairperson Flo Mallonee. All six members were present: Fred Ford, Randy Paul, Dwight Hoffman, Bruce Warshawsky, and Tom Wilson, along with Township Secretary Carolyn Nye. The brief meeting focused on two proposals for new agricultural structures and the permitting requirements each would need to satisfy.

  • Camp Hebron presented a sketch plan for a new boarding barn with an indoor riding area. The commission reviewed the proposal and raised stormwater management concerns. Members informed the representatives that a formal land development plan must be submitted to the township for the required review process before the project can proceed. No vote was taken.
  • Amir Ali discussed plans to build a livestock barn on a 1.49-acre property he is considering purchasing. The barn would be used for holding livestock on a temporary basis. The commission advised him that any structure over 1,000 square feet would require a stormwater management plan and a building permit. No vote was taken.
