property and first i'd like to put some things in the record one is the application dated april two thousand and twelve from richard ryan howard secondly there is a plan of property by larry  the property understood show quickly is located at five twenty five circle dry there is a house on the property this is that this is the property here and there's a there's the house and then there's a garage in the rear of the property you could see this porch with probably kind of looped over behind the existing commercial property and this is the portion that the applicant is asking to have resent the remainder of the property would be on circle drive that basically home which is located right here and here and also in this house phrase here which is owned residential and i also own this home right here which is owned residential and property goes back and encompasses this and lying about like so the property them asking you to rezone tonight is a garage that was part of this this original residential property i have need for additional storage space and i persis property this property was in sheriff's sale and was in very bad condition was around this building was just about got it inside vandalized it was not in very good shape at all what i'm asking is that we and you i think you have another drawing perhaps in your presence but we extend the line the eight point eight point eight four acres extends approximate like this and the radius that i'm asking for is just enough to allow me to make a turn to get into that building and this property would be joined with this property all be under one tax rule under my name but it would be listed as a buy in our federal property this property over here i presently own my son scott is going to  engineering computation is the amount of land necessary to make the turning radius to be able to get into those garages because there is a smoke break here like this their driveway we will not be using them anyway the reason i'm asking the question is that you're describing the fact that property will be purchased by a member of your family yes but if it's some point in a future that isn't the case normally i believe we risk our bus first between commercial and residential and that's there already is a sixty foot buffer or more on the left hand side of the property which actually since i own all the property it almost seeing some of the features of to put something right in the middle middle of the property it is a necessary because i own it all i see it as we speak right now and there is a buffer to the other property owner although on the west over sixty feet as we speak i'm not sure that i'm satisfied that you answered my question mr s normally require landscape are far between commercial and residential so my question is what is your intent because even though the residential is down by you right now if that is not the case in the future would be for him to submit a revised safely and showing how he's going to connect his commercial parking lot to the new garage as part of that site plan approved process the buffers grades  i was kind of if what mr list is thinking i was questioning the sequence of events a little bit but based on the letter that they plan to release to subdivide down and make it all commercial which s s p claims that i was a little confused about township i have nothing against mr byron howard he has a beautiful property and he kate's tremendously camped and but my problem is what will be the next step every residential property abuts the commercial properties along route nineteen can now be rezoned commercial that's what this tense for me to believe that leads to i and that's why i feel this request should be denied that's where i'm going with this there's numerous commercial properties on my team available to be used for this and why should i have you know i purchased no property in a place and i purchased my home a designed plan residential setting and no property initially and should be allowed to change it zoning designation however close its proximity to the townships commercial districts is my point that a lot of feel that this should be denied in a situation this is almost an ideal situation but i don't want to talk out of both sides of my mouth because i don't want this to delay to other properties being zone commercial in a residential area was placed on bulletin boards for the website and cable t v radios are sent to property owners and property was posted just tracing some items into the record one is the application dated the ordinance required any units that were closer than fifteen feet together to have fifteen feet apart to have a sprinkler systems the applicant has requested up to three units in his units that are further than fifteen feet apart from any other units would not be required to have sprinkler systems on my own view this is a day between that the only two hours to build single unit but that's really what we've been approached by with a lot of the public they would rather have a single unit then than a duplex so we were successful in that what  drawing that we were given tonight the two in units don't really look to be that far any further apart any other lines so or is there a proposal where those are actually in a different place  if they would be if they would be successful in that appeal with that then make it that the crematorium could go in a city district and would also be available to if that's important in your decision tonight i will tell you that i have no intention of building a crematory there however high strung i really don't want to do that because i'm going to be denying myself the opportunity than anybody else  any other c to property as i told you earlier in the meeting to have to qualify for a funeral home i can i think get the state approval of a funeral home and a twelve by twelve room so i can put it i can it's my opinion that because the properties contiguous to an existing commercial area it's adjacent falling behind another commercial area of all the places this could work it seems like it makes sense that this could be a way to add to the commercial district i do have a concerned about the longevity of the residential against the commercial and whether or not a buffer should be required if the property would change hands the residential property based on the potential that you're going to subdivide the whole bridge subdivided make the whole acreage commercial  acreage the only part that would be changing from residential and commercial is point eight seven acres ok now because i was getting off of this original his original snared they came in with the application i think so the the point eight seven includes the bumper to make your car driveway that's right my point being that x some point i think there should be a requirement that you might be compelled if they residential property changed hands concern which i mean i have his word of mr brown hires word that it's not going to be a crematory but likely it was or see nor can the township foresee changes in ownership  bankruptcy changes in so on this was the concern that i had and i still can't get over after thirty years in construction management project management and management abroad pretty why we're rezoning from residential to commercial one nineteen is littered with available space or industrial areas that we the township has an abundance of commercial available properties that are available i'm going to have to learn to make sure i gauge that a little bit so i've got the first quarter in two months and the reason is that a lot of the things we did in the first quarter came to fruition through the fourth and fifth month of the year in january we reorganized as counsel does although we reelected melissa six minutes are chair day wall is our vice chair mr crummy is our yes representative party and most a sick man as our community service representative community service and us individuals of work throughout the five months keeping the ball rolling trying to do certain things like the community night that we did before family night where we ask everyone to  no homework no sporting events and things like that there was an issue with the date by a couple people we elected as a board to to leave that day be consistent so everybody would know that day here in year out the baseball team high school baseball team under our community service representative pick today to clean up the field one nice job and the soccer association asked for help from high school soccer teams to coach and train and line fields on the line in fields didn't get done quite as much as coaching did we had a visitor and mark ingram from the m trail in our first quarter he gave us their achievements in last year's work on the trail as well as their schedule for this year and hopes for future years and thanked us peters township for our support of the motor trail we now use mature residents we continue to through these three months to think of ideas and even had a mature resident come in and give us some ideas on some programs that they might be able to do during the day in the rec center or on the tennis courts things like that pickle ball was what was brought to us a gentleman came in and said that he spends a great deal of time in north carolina playing pickle ball  we continue to monitor and look at those kind of options month in and month out look cross the so ca sion came to us with a unique problem the unique problem being that they had coaches that worst dence here in the united states but we're canadian citizens so the background check was very difficult they only got a short amount of time from them in the background in the united states  we felt that they should still pursue looking into whatever they could find and had to contact the real mounted police in canada to have a serious background check in to call them out these are the mount and he retired scores we did have some associations as we always do come in and tell us their wishes their hopes on the facilities that they use our facilities  we were pretty demonstrative about requirements of information that they owed to the parks and rec partment we told them that we wouldn't entertain any of the upgrades unless they were current on the information that we need and it has helped baseball has come in and wanted to work on the venetia park project that they proposed and their information is coming in and being current we asked them to work with michelle so they would be able to they didn't have a drawing at the time so they have to work with michelle to get it through to see what we think of after it's all been proposed to us we through the five months monitored the peters words piers would expansion project that's council knows returning was april fourteenth and so far nobody that i've talked to has just raised about the facility we continue to monitor a field five lighting project and we ran into a small issue there with winter being as mild as it was crane couldn't get on the field because it would rip it up so we had to wait a little bit but the lighting stands are up lights are up and we're waiting for power to those the turf project is scheduled to start june fourth we spent each each of the months and continued even last year in looking into the background process council hears ago institute of that background project and policy and they were pretty proactive it was on the forefront lots of places now require that even businesses and as those things happen background checks or things that you do change we had a two step process in pennsylvania that you had to do as a coach or volunteer for a background check today you don't have to do that so we challenge michele to look into possible replacements of the program and she did a wonderful job presenting it to us and looking at it we feel that the new system will streamline the process for coaches and volunteers it's a one step process they will be better for the associations because part of the complaints that we had here about background checks are the younger crowd new coaches coming into it i didn't realize i had to do it in the pennsylvania had to step so they do one didn't realize they had to do the other not get the proper clearance and things were very difficult this will help in that process the association should be better the coaches should be better and as far as the township goes it's much more comprehensive the fans of anyone was pennsylvania this new system is going to be a national background check someone coming from a different state to pennsylvania we will be able to check one of those different states so i do think it's very important to continually change even change some i me isn't the best thing or the easiest thing we need to continue to monitor and make sure that we're keeping ahead of the curve rather than behind the curve as a council member you always were ahead of the curve when we instituted this years ago  michelle will present us to the alliance which is the presidents and vice presidents of all the associations at the alliance meetings and hopefully it'll go as smooth as we we plan  we continually work on information from the associations and it's standing here in front of council it's a funny thing when you tell people we need information and you have to beg for that information it's kind of silly that we can't get all the documentation that's needed and it isn't a lot of documentation it's just the right documentation for our files we have complained to them we have withheld facilities being upgraded by them the next step would be to institute the fine process that we've all talked about in the past and or holding back permits as far as being allowed to use our facilities most of the associations are trying to do what they have to do where some of the information falls through again is the new coaches  rosters which is silly because anybody who has been part of an association realizes sometime there is a roster of all the teams and kids and coaches that are pretty much right at the beginning of the season  we have work with them and we call them in a we have called in an association fortunately is not under playing right now for our next meeting and hopefully they will show for it they didn't show for the last one we have no almost no documentation for that association and we had a small discussion on a pathway between the grass opera field the ampitheater for concerts people were talking about make it easier to walk between there we really haven't seen too much in getting that done yet thinking about how it would work we had a long discussion on the w using our facilities particularly baseball and now that field one is as good as it is it's a showcase field there's no doubt about it with the warning track and well kept well maintained  our issue was that the w p a charges for the use of and during their games which we've never really had an avenue to do that so we we've been challenged to come up with an idea to get the council to see what you all think and i guess i'm for warning you that we're working on that and finally i think that what's important is the c r c received the reader's choice award from the e told me that usually the associations are responsible for that and i wondered whether or not the parking wreck board would potentially have some discussion about that and find out where we are without a moon or passes over the new secret we have and i can't remember them in order so you'll have to look at the magazine for the date but we have a group called aftermath their group that does aftermath aftermath  under our our new ology for these we did get over fifty percent of the property owner to respond in the that responded seventy eight percent  responded if they were the proposal phase one would involve painting white lines on the sidelines edge lines it would be three sections that would have no votes or nine votes to us most of that now and what we did was because technically seventy percent of fifty one percent is what about forty percent included in the document we added to the scope of work hourly rates attachment c is is not shown because it's being revised to reflect the clarify from the last meeting i misread the schedule it is a fourteen month not thirteen months schedule because it does prove this the other thing that would need to be done fairly was hard specifically to help support this and i kind of was surprised myself that the reduction wasn't a little bit more based on his skills and potential work on the project i would have to say that if we agree to to proceed with this that fifty seven thousand that's higher than what we budgeted shouldn't be looked at as potential increased in the budget something else is going to happen in my opinion and i agree with what mr sylvestris says we want to get a good quality product and if this is what it costs them we need to figure out where else we're going to get the money because i'm not inclined on necessarily just adding that to the budget so i'm not sure that's a challenge for the two thousand logic but i think that that is a concern i did have some comments about the actual contracts some questions about the wording if we have some time that we can go through those  section three the project management communication protocol aside from the type we don't identify who the peters township contact person is and yet that's referenced in  the following section six that if that changes we're going to be charged for that so i think that needs corrected i presume it might be granted but it's not state commitment for a certain amount that we have is coming up right and then the ownership can you clarify the ownership data i might be not understanding that terminology machine format is that electronic  i would think we would update them as we went along and please correct m those are my questions i think it would be important to distinguish electronic copies and working copies not necessarily the production of a p d f that is  thank you and last table there there was one of a hundred fifty seven thousand and this one's much last sell i'm wondering is that the final payment for them the thirty seven hundred will yes there was a final payment on the
