The Chairperson called the meeting to order at 9:40 a.m. Minutes from the May 3, 1999 meeting were approved.

ADMINISTRATIVE:

• Planning Commission Report - There will not be a work session on Thursday, June 10, 1999. Regular meeting will be held Thursday, June 17, 1999. Jim Wendelgass talked about the time line for The Hankin Plan. There will not be a site visit to the Pitcher Property and the Mike Matlock plan for Dawes Farm does not comply with the new ordinance.

MAIL:

• The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection received a application for Sewage Facilities Planning Modules for a thirty lot residential subdivision (Layman's Retreat). This project is located on the east side of St. Matthews Road, south of Miller Road. On March 18, 1999 the DEP received a copy of a stormwater permit application for Chesapeake Network Fiber Optic from Columbia Transmission Communications Corporation.
• Correspondence was received from the Chester County Water Resources Authority on Radon in the Ground Water of Chester County and Radioactivity and Ground Water - What you should know (A Guide for Residential Well Owners).
• Correspondence was received from The Audubon International Program designed to encourage landowners to explore and develop strategies related to a variety of natural resource issues during the planning and construction of golf course developments.
• The Dame Juliana League is requesting a permit to install several deflectors in a stretch of French Creek that flows through East and West Vincent Townships below Cooks Glen Rd. The League will be responsible for executing this project.

REPORTS:

• Township Park/Township Building - Signs will be posted explaining the park cannot be used during construction. The park will not be available for use until Fall 2000 or Spring 2001.

ZONING:

• A recommendation will be sent to the Zoning Hearing Board not to grant the variance regarding Paul W. and Shirley Read Pitcher's application for variances to permit construction within the prohibitive slope district and from the required 50-feet wetlands vegetated buffer because this 12.1 acre parcel offers alternative building sites which would require fewer variances. Reasonable use of the property with minimal adverse environmental impact can be achieved without encroaching on steep slope and stream buffer.
• A recommendation from the EAC to the Zoning Hearing Board was made not to grant the variance for Sam Coroniti application because this parcel clearly offers alternative building sites that would be in conformance with our current zoning regulations and would in fact cause less disruption to natural features then the currently proposed plan.

SUBDIVISIONS:

• Cotswold Estate - Larry Shontz was before the Planning Commission asking for final approval of the Cotswold Estate 7.3 Acre subdivision. All the review letters have not been received, Mr. Shontz has asked to be put on next months Planning Commission meeting.
• Matlock - A preliminary plan for Dawes Farm was presented at the Planning Commission meeting, but the plan does not comply with the new ordinance.
• Grubb- Mr. Grubb was present at the meeting to ask the EAC to make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to amend the classification of the historic resource on his proposed beverage outlet site. The EAC recommended the site be reclassified from a class 3 to class 4 site.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, July 6, 1999. Please call the Chairperson at 827-1847 if unable to attend.
