A meeting of the Sadsbury Township Planning Commission was held on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 in the Sadsbury Township Municipal Building.
Present: Ms. Jane Heineman, Mr. Timothy Sarbaum, Mr. Ronald Yen, Mr. John Lymberis, Supervisor Liaison Mr. John Moore, Ms. Judith Klingman, Mr. Simon Jessey, and Ms. Linda Shank.
Ms. Heineman called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. The moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance were waived.
New members Ms. Judith Klingman and Mr. Simon Jessey were welcomed to the Planning Commission. Mr. Jessey will also assume the responsibilities of the Recording Secretary from the May meeting.
Mr. Sarbaum made a motion, seconded by Mr. Moore, to approve and adopt the minutes of the meeting held on March 13, 2019. With no amendments or questions, the motion passed unanimously.
It was noted by the Commission that the proposed landscaping ordinance amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance were presented to the Board of Supervisors during the April 2, 2019 meeting for review by the Board and its representatives.
The Planning Commission expressed concern that the update to the Zoning Ordinance being undertaken by The Grafton Association seemed to have stalled; therefore, the Planning Commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the Township moves on from Grafton and considers retaining Mr. Edward Theurkauf of Theurkauf Design & Planning to complete the update.
Ms. Heineman informed the other members of the Commission that the application by the “Early Learning Center” to the Zoning Hearing Board for use of the former Penguin Industries property had been withdrawn.
Ms. Shank distributed updated copies of plans for the “Sadsbury Commons” development to the Commission in preparation for an upcoming meeting with Mr. Michael Gill.
The Planning Commission discussed and confirmed the term lengths of each of the members.
With there being no further announcements or public comment, Ms. Klingman made a motion, seconded by Mr. Lymberis, to adjourn the meeting at 7:50pm. With there being no further questions, the motion passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted by Simon Jessey
