WEST VINCENT TOWNSHIP
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
MINUTES -- DECEMBER 3, 2001
|
The administrative meeting of the Board of
Supervisors, held in the Township Building was called to order at 8:10 a.m. by
Chairman Kenneth Miller; also in attendance were Supervisor Zoë Perkins, Supervisor-Elect
Clare Quinn, Township Manager Allen Heist and Code Enforcement Offcer Robert
Wideman. Morgan Hurst, estimator for C. Raymond Davis, was
present to review his analysis of the Township
Building plans in an effort
to bring the plans within budget requirements. Overall, in looking at shape,
size, layout, equipment, and materials there was nothing about the building
inherently expensive. Since the construction market has changed and bids seem
to be more competitive, Mr. Hurst suggested re-bidding the project with
the following changes:
Mr. Hurst will mark-up the drawings with the
suggested changes and meet with the Board on December 17th; Manager
Heist will contact the architect, Cathers & Associates, Inc. to advise them
how the Board will be proceeding with the project. The Flowing
Springs Road Culvert was
tabled until the December 10, 2001 agenda to allow time for Mrs. Ward to meet
with consultants regarding funding. Mrs. Perkins moved to adopt Resolution 2001-18,
accepting the deed of dedication to Forest Glen Drive and the storm
sewer basin conditioned upon compliance with six conditions to the
satisfaction of the Township Solicitor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller
and carried unanimously. Christopher Luning, Esquire forwarded a fax
commenting on the draft James W.
Trolier Conditional Use Decision and
offered two changes for the Board's consideration pertaining to 1)
clarification that the septic system may be moved as stated during testimony,
and 2) the Zoning Officer determines when permanent stabilization of vegetation
on the slope has been achieved. Manager Heist will revise the Decision and
forward for review; the issue was tabled until the December 10, 2001 meeting. The Board reviewed and approved a revised letter to
Philadelphia Suburban Water Company supporting the extension of the franchise
area to service the Griffith Property. Solicitor
Greenwood will review a draft Ordinance
and Intergovernmental Cooperation Planning Agreement for the Phoenixville Region, which
provides for joint and cooperative planning by members of the region and the
preparation of a joint Comprehensive Plan; the issue was table until the
December 10, 2001 meeting. During
their December 10, 2001 meeting, the Board will discuss
representation/testimony on their behalf at the Toll Brothers, Inc./Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. Zoning Hearing on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 at 7 p.m. A
