Business from the Floor:

• Wheeler Aman questioned the status of the Township's request for additional public sewer capacity availability. Correspondence was received from East Pikeland Township advising that the Board of Supervisors is in the process of reviewing the Act 537 plan in relation to future needs and will not be able to give a definitive reply to public sewer availability for at least six months. Since his property is part of the Residential Mix zoning district, PRD overlay, and TDR receiving zone overlay, Mr. Aman would like an allocation of additional sewer capacity designated to his property. It was suggested Mr. Aman submit his request in writing and consider attending planning commission meetings in East Pikeland Township during the Act 537 plan update.

Bills List:

• Mr. Brachwitz made a motion to pay the bills on the Bills List dated October 25, 1999; it was seconded by Mrs. Perkins and carried unanimously.

There being no further business, Mr. Brachwitz moved the meeting be adjourned; the motion was seconded by Mrs. Perkins and the meeting adjourned at 7:57 p.m.
