[2:27]
We cover what's important to you.
[2:31]
- Okay? Yep. Okay.
[2:34]
I'll call the order the September 21st,
[2:37]
Paris Council Planning Commission meeting to order.
[2:42]
And the first item we have on the agenda,
[2:46]
am I okay without a mic in front of me?
[2:48]
Is that okay?
[2:49]
- I can, - You're hearing Okay. I just noticed that. Okay.
[2:55]
First thing on the agenda is approval of the minutes
[2:59]
from July 20th.
[3:02]
Anybody care to make a motion to approve those minutes?
[3:05]
I'll make a motion to approve the minutes. Second. Okay.
[3:08]
Alright. All right, Maggie
[3:10]
and Jeff, well, you've been asked, so.
[3:13]
Alright. All in favor of approving of the July 20th minutes.
[3:16]
Say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay.
[3:20]
That motion carries.
[3:23]
Next item on the agenda is time for Public Comment
[3:25]
for anything that is not on the agenda.
[3:28]
So do we have anything from the public to bring up tonight?
[3:33]
Roy, come on up.
[3:37]
- Hi, I'm Dr. Roy Love.
[3:40]
I live at 4 0 4 West Main Street
[3:43]
and I just wanted to Public Comment about
[3:48]
the development across the street
[3:49]
that just got, is being built.
[3:52]
You know, the first house is being put in there,
[3:54]
seven houses, 1.5 million to $2 million houses.
[4:00]
And, you know, the intent of our planning commission
[4:05]
and our, and our is to fill the,
[4:08]
and not go out into the surrounding areas.
[4:14]
That is what we wanna do.
[4:15]
Obviously, we also talk a lot about that.
[4:18]
We want to make it more affordable housing.
[4:20]
We don't wanna have people coming from Lewistown
[4:23]
and Lewisburg and wherever else,
[4:25]
driving from Phillipsburg to be workers.
[4:28]
Certainly approving a subdivision
[4:31]
that you guys know is gonna take 750 loads of soil
[4:37]
in order to drain correctly.
[4:41]
It's not gonna be a development that is gonna appeal
[4:43]
to anyone except for millionaires,
[4:45]
dual income millionaires living there.
[4:48]
That certainly doesn't provide any of the kind of idea
[4:52]
that we want to bring in an opportunity for people
[4:57]
who fit the demographic of burg.
[5:02]
- Sorry, sorry, sorry. - Okay.
[5:06]
And then part of the, the criteria
[5:11]
for a developer as develop, as a planning committee is
[5:17]
they bring in a plan.
[5:19]
The plan's already done as long
[5:21]
as they fill reg regulations.
[5:22]
You guys have no teeth whatsoever.
[5:25]
You can't do anything to sell you
[5:27]
that this doesn't fit in the community
[5:30]
because it's, it's according to the regulations.
[5:35]
One of the statements was the builder will try
[5:39]
to pro provide and protect as many trees as possible.
[5:43]
Has anyone looked at the development?
[5:44]
There's not a tree left.
[5:47]
I pleaded with him to, to, to take one tree.
[5:50]
But according to drainage
[5:54]
and the like, in order to build that,
[5:56]
it's 21 feet high in the back of that development
[6:01]
in order to drain correctly.
[6:03]
Now, to me that's a plan
[6:06]
that you guys could say, that's crazy.
[6:09]
You're gonna bring in 75, 750 loads
[6:14]
in order to make this drain correctly in order
[6:17]
to build a development in this, in this property.
[6:20]
But you can't do anything as long
[6:23]
as it fits the regulations.
[6:24]
As long as the builder says that that's where you guys are,
[6:29]
when is it ever gonna be that you say,
[6:31]
wait a minute, this is Borough.
[6:33]
We wanna make it.
[6:35]
Yes, we want to have more housing that provides
[6:39]
so people don't have to travel.
[6:41]
This doesn't fit that model.
[6:43]
But that's what I hear of why we do those things.
[6:47]
Then let's, let's look at
[6:52]
the idea that we're gonna save as many trees as possible.
[6:56]
Last week they cut down a 2, 2, 200 year old trees
[6:59]
that are directly on the property line.
[7:05]
Seems to me a pretty good idea would be the tree commission
[7:10]
as part of Harris Township communicates with the builder
[7:14]
before the plan and said, what are you gonna do?
[7:17]
You guys could put that teeth in.
[7:22]
But, you know, and,
[7:25]
and I just would like, you know, I've lived here for
[7:29]
you since 99.
[7:32]
I would like to have Berg remain wonderful.
[7:36]
I'm really concerned. Five years from now,
[7:38]
people are gonna say, BOL used to be great,
[7:42]
but now there's so many cars on the road now there's
[7:46]
so much traffic on the road.
[7:48]
You know, development is going to be at the top
[7:51]
of the street on Main Street, the bull mansion.
[7:55]
When that happens, the hole
[7:58]
that is gonna also put more people on the street,
[8:01]
you got lots of kids on those streets.
[8:03]
It's, it is now been a younger generation
[8:06]
that's moving in the area.
[8:08]
And I'm concerned that this beautiful place
[8:11]
that everybody wants to live
[8:13]
and thinks burg's the best place in the, is gonna go away.
[8:17]
And I've watched it happen in the areas
[8:20]
that I grew up in Lansdale,
[8:23]
and I'm just concerned that that's gonna happen.
[8:25]
And I really would like to see that not happen.
[8:28]
And I think you guys have to get more teeth somehow
[8:32]
to be able to say no to developers.
[8:35]
I get the idea that we're gonna keep it in the, the,
[8:37]
the zones and and protect the agricultural area.
[8:40]
But I've also heard from some of you, wait a minute,
[8:43]
what's Ferguson Township doing?
[8:46]
Seems like there's houses popping up in all these
[8:48]
agriculture areas like crazy.
[8:50]
What's College Township doing?
[8:52]
They're popping up in all these areas
[8:53]
and we're gonna abide by that, that area
[8:55]
and never put a restriction on a builder as long
[8:58]
as they fill in the circle area.
[9:03]
And what do we do when someone cuts down a tree
[9:05]
that's 200 years old right on the property line.
[9:08]
It's supposed to be only trees that were not going
[9:12]
to be removed unless they were absolutely necessary.
[9:16]
There's no reason that tree was cut down.
[9:18]
Those two trees are cut down is
[9:20]
because the owner wants to have it cut down
[9:22]
so he has a better view of the pine trees behind it.
[9:26]
The whole perimeter in the front, when I looked at the plan,
[9:29]
had that lines that said there were going
[9:32]
to be houses, there are gonna be trees.
[9:34]
Do you see any trees along Main Street? None.
[9:38]
And that's the, the builder's prerogative.
[9:43]
I was at a a a meeting downtown when a person who goes
[9:47]
to all of those meetings said,
[9:49]
you guys gotta ask more from the developers
[9:53]
because what's it gonna be to the developer when you say,
[9:57]
Hey, you're gonna put 70 more cars on the
[10:00]
street every single day.
[10:01]
We're talking about traffic calming.
[10:04]
We want you to contribute to that
[10:06]
- For - What are they gonna say?
[10:08]
Walk outta here for a $30,000 when he's paid
[10:11]
$1.5 million to just build the landfill
[10:16]
and pass it on to the people who are buying it.
[10:18]
The houses. Of course he's gonna say, I'll do that
[10:22]
now we're going to be very concerned about putting speed
[10:26]
humps on the road
[10:27]
because they're gonna cost 10 grand a piece.
[10:30]
Ask the developer to do it.
[10:33]
You're gonna put 70 more cars on the road, contribute
[10:37]
to the possibility of meeting speed control.
[10:42]
So that's all I wanted to talk about. It's very close to me.
[10:45]
It's right across the street and you can say it's right in
[10:47]
my backyard, but it doesn't make a difference.
[10:50]
I care about Berg and,
[10:54]
and if we, if we don't do more, you have guys,
[10:57]
you guys have no teeth at stopping a developer doing
[11:00]
whatever the hell he wants and you know it
[11:03]
as long as they fit the regulations.
[11:05]
And I think there should be more of that. Thanks.
[11:09]
- Thanks Roy. - Roy
[11:12]
and I have had a brief exchange about this subject, but,
[11:16]
and that's certainly a lot for us to, you know, think about.
[11:19]
But anybody have any comments they wanna make for tonight
[11:24]
or just something we need to keep in mind?
[11:33]
All right, well thanks. Alright.
[11:37]
Alright, we'll move on
[11:38]
to the planning commission business then.
[11:41]
First item on the agenda is the data
[11:44]
center draft. Were there
[11:45]
- Any other, - I'm sorry, were there
[11:47]
- Any other comments - From Oh, I'm sorry.
[11:50]
I guess I did not drink.
[11:51]
Yeah, there any other, any other public, public comments
[11:54]
that are anything not on the agenda? I'm here
[11:56]
- For four A.
[11:57]
- Okay. All right. Sorry. Thanks.
[12:02]
Yep, I definitely spaced that out after that
[12:05]
but, okay.
[12:08]
Well we're here for up for four a then
[12:11]
data center draft Ordinance.
[12:13]
- At the last meeting, the planning commission discussed the
[12:15]
parameters that seemed appropriate for
[12:17]
- The data center Ordinance in Harris Township.
[12:20]
Using that information as well
[12:21]
as additional ideas learned at a webinar
[12:23]
that I attended in late July plus a few things from
[12:26]
additional research staff created a draft of an Ordinance
[12:29]
for discussion and consideration.
[12:31]
The draft was included with the agenda.
[12:33]
Staff also forwarded via email the slides
[12:36]
provided at the July webinar in case PC members were
[12:39]
interested in reviewing the information.
[12:40]
Not asking that you talk about
[12:42]
that in any kind of detail tonight.
[12:43]
It was just for information staff's takeaway from the
[12:47]
webinar was that Penn State
[12:49]
or the people giving the webinar from Penn State believed
[12:52]
most of the data centers that will be built have in
[12:55]
fact already been built.
[12:57]
That isn't to say the data centers won't be proposed in our
[12:59]
area, but the demand seems to have peaked in the northeast
[13:02]
and the hub of the data centers serving the Mid-Atlantic,
[13:04]
the large, mid, Mid-Atlantic region.
[13:06]
And those currently under construction are performing
[13:09]
to expectations.
[13:11]
I added some more language about some mitigating factors
[13:13]
with some specifics on
[13:18]
Large language and small language models
[13:20]
that I gleaned from the research that's not really relevant
[13:23]
to the conversation tonight.
[13:24]
So I'll skip over that here.
[13:26]
Many, many people believe that some that a hybrid
[13:31]
of those two different types of
[13:35]
AI are the future.
[13:36]
But again, you can read on that in your own if you'd like.
[13:39]
Staff's recommendation for tonight is
[13:41]
that the draft ordinances a discussion item.
[13:43]
If the PC believes some amendments are necessary,
[13:45]
staff can complete such
[13:47]
and present a revised draft at a future meeting.
[13:49]
If the PC believes very minor
[13:51]
or no amendments are required, a motion can be made
[13:53]
to forward the draft of the board of Supervisors
[13:55]
for consideration soon.
[13:56]
The draft is this green attachment to your agenda.
[14:02]
- Okay, thanks Rob.
[14:04]
I know last time you talked about this, I know that
[14:07]
we had discussed noise and,
[14:09]
- And also just the overall water impacts,
[14:13]
but is there anything anybody wants
[14:15]
to bring up tonight about the specific
[14:17]
regulations that are suggested here?
[14:21]
- Can we ask that? - Yeah, go ahead Bob. We ask
[14:26]
- That they use recycling water.
[14:28]
- That the, the water usage is, is based on recycling.
[14:34]
- We can probably include that as a
[14:35]
- Recommendation.
[14:36]
I don't know that we can require it.
[14:40]
It may be a, a fact that they can't get enough water
[14:44]
through the beneficial reuse that they need on a daily basis
[14:47]
to accommodate what they, you know, what
[14:51]
- They are gonna require.
[14:52]
Yeah. I guess from what I've heard is that they have,
[14:54]
they have ways of recycling.
[14:57]
So if they need a hundred thousand gallons
[14:59]
or whatever it is of water per day,
[15:01]
but they have the CAPA there, there's technology out there
[15:04]
that will allow them to recycle that water.
[15:06]
So it's just like your car radiator and you pump it in there
[15:08]
and it just cools it that way.
[15:11]
I don't know if that's in there,
[15:12]
but I, I would think that
[15:14]
that would be one thing to look at.
[15:16]
And the other thing is that to require them
[15:17]
to use their own electricity, you know, power it themselves.
[15:22]
And we, I think that,
[15:26]
- Yeah, well from the seminars
[15:30]
that we took at the Central County's Planning Commission,
[15:34]
a large scale data center burns as much electricity
[15:37]
as the whole town does.
[15:39]
So we don't have to worry about them actually hooking up
[15:42]
to our grid because they can't, they would have
[15:45]
to build their own power plant
[15:48]
because we just don't have the
[15:49]
infrastructure for that to happen.
[15:52]
And so that kind of, they would have to run generators
[15:56]
all the time and the nor Ordinance would handle that.
[15:59]
And so it would have to be a rather rather large piece
[16:02]
of property as far as the water goes.
[16:06]
We also don't, we think we have enough water,
[16:09]
but we don't have the infrastructure for the water.
[16:11]
So then it would have to be one of the type systems
[16:15]
that they call closed loop
[16:16]
and a reuse the water, send it down walls or cool it.
[16:21]
But the problem with that system is that
[16:24]
it's not completely closed loose ball the time.
[16:27]
They flush it a couple times a year and what they,
[16:31]
and then it goes into our sewage system are we have 'em hook
[16:34]
up to our sewer system
[16:36]
and from our research it has 13 forever chemicals in it
[16:40]
that would go into our sewer system
[16:42]
that would go into the streams.
[16:44]
So that's really not a great answer to that either.
[16:47]
'cause they run it like antifreeze because
[16:49]
otherwise the system corrodes.
[16:53]
So I don't know how you would legislate that to make them,
[16:58]
if when they flushed the closed loop system that they had
[17:01]
to take it to a, a proper place where it could be disposed
[17:05]
of like hazardous waste that could,
[17:07]
we could put into our thing.
[17:10]
- Can they, they can't forward the plastics. I
[17:13]
- It's worse than that.
[17:14]
It's like antifreeze. Yeah.
[17:17]
So far as I know the sewer authority came
[17:20]
and they're struggling right now in our sewer system.
[17:23]
They've almost got accomplished to get rid
[17:26]
of one forever chemical.
[17:29]
Hmm. In the sewer system that we have now,
[17:31]
they're working on it,
[17:32]
but who knows how far along that they'll,
[17:35]
it'll take some time and some money to be able to clean up
[17:38]
what they get rid of.
[17:40]
- So we don't have anything I'm sorry. No, go ahead.
[17:43]
We don't have anything currently in this,
[17:46]
in this proposed regulation
[17:49]
- On that subject.
[17:50]
I, about what I've, yeah, I think that if they come to us
[17:54]
with a, and I call it a closed loop system,
[17:57]
I don't think it should be discharged into,
[17:59]
we have it saying that they're going
[18:01]
to discharge it into our sewer system.
[18:02]
Right. I don't think a closed loop system when they go
[18:05]
to flush it, I think it should be taken away
[18:08]
and taken to a, a proper facility to get rid of it.
[18:12]
Just like we have high contaminants at the landfill
[18:15]
we get rid of, we take it to a place where it can be clean.
[18:19]
Not our sewer system that dumps down into Spring Creek.
[18:26]
So I don't know, I just don't see one happening personally.
[18:30]
I think there's a lot of roadblocks
[18:31]
but I guess these guys have unfathomable amounts of money.
[18:35]
But I, it just seems like there's a lot
[18:39]
of physical roadblocks to put a big data center here,
[18:43]
but it doesn't, doesn't hurt to put that in our Ordinance.
[18:47]
I do on the closed loop systems from
[18:50]
what I learned from those seminars, no matter what I didn't,
[18:54]
you couldn't get a good answer on water usage.
[18:57]
You just, there was nothing that you liked
[19:00]
when you took the, I dunno if you took the same seminar,
[19:03]
but it was just like, I don't like any of the answers.
[19:06]
You know, I just didn't, you know,
[19:09]
the electricity didn't bother me
[19:11]
because they can build a generator plant
[19:13]
and they can't soundproof it through technology
[19:15]
so it wouldn't be bad to listen to.
[19:17]
But the water issue's a problem
[19:20]
and it takes a lot of water to cool.
[19:22]
So unless they come up with some other cooling method.
[19:26]
- So I don't know how much the, you know,
[19:29]
we aren't fully aware
[19:30]
what the Susquehanna River Basin Commission
[19:35]
regulates or is looking at.
[19:36]
I don't know if they have some of this when they're,
[19:39]
if they're getting, you know, we're saying they have
[19:41]
to get an approval from them.
[19:43]
So I don't know how much they're gonna look at that.
[19:45]
If they're gonna look at some of these same
[19:46]
questions or they don't
[19:47]
- Wanna look at water withdrawal is,
[19:49]
I don't know if they would look at discharge as much
[19:51]
as they would withdrawal, but I wonder if there wouldn't be
[19:55]
language out there from municipalities that have fracking
[19:59]
That sounds very similar to fracking
[20:01]
type water being withdrawn and having to be transported away
[20:04]
because it's, it needs
[20:05]
to be basically reclaimed somewhere that can handle that
[20:07]
- Well.
[20:08]
Yeah. A system that can Right.
[20:10]
Clean it properly or dispose of it properly.
[20:12]
A ation system that we don't have. Right.
[20:16]
- And Kent, just so you're aware,
[20:17]
Kelly wool gas does have your hand up on Zoom.
[20:20]
Okay. Didn't want you to miss it. Alright,
[20:22]
- Well Kelly, are you - Ready to say something?
[20:25]
- I am, thank you. I'm sorry I'm not there in person.
[20:28]
I have a respiratory infection
[20:30]
that I did not want to give to all of you.
[20:33]
Yeah, right. So thank you for the initial draft
[20:37]
of this data center plan here or the regulation.
[20:41]
I definitely think that we should have this on,
[20:44]
on file going forward.
[20:46]
What I think the major thing that's missing, as most
[20:50]
of you know, I am a professional registered nurse,
[20:55]
population health is part of my expertise.
[20:58]
What is missing from this is any mention about a,
[21:01]
a required third party environmental health
[21:03]
and safety evaluation that comes in
[21:06]
with any proposal while it does address noise,
[21:10]
noise is just one component of an environmental health
[21:13]
and safety assessment.
[21:14]
And I think we should require that as part
[21:16]
of our regulation.
[21:19]
And, and you could find the assessment
[21:21]
that I can send whoever needs that information about
[21:24]
what parts that would be.
[21:25]
I can, I'm happy to send that to you
[21:28]
electronically if you need me to.
[21:30]
The other thing that I noticed in here under
[21:33]
the noise part is the testing
[21:35]
of emergency generators shall occur only between the hours
[21:38]
of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM And I recommend
[21:41]
that being narrowed even further that that is only
[21:45]
not weekends and not on holidays
[21:48]
because I sure would not want to be listening to
[21:51]
emergency generator testing on a Sunday.
[21:54]
'cause that's, you know, that would disrupt, disrupt the,
[21:57]
the peaceful verb that we call burg.
[22:01]
So thank you and I'm happy to answer any questions about
[22:04]
what I just said or provide additional information
[22:08]
to whomever is drafting this.
[22:13]
- Okay. So I guess could we,
[22:19]
could Deb summarize some of these comments we're making and
[22:22]
or Todd and,
[22:25]
and take that forward to the Supervisors then? Yeah, I
[22:28]
- Think, I think what we'll do is we'll do a little bit more
[22:31]
research into these specific topics
[22:35]
and see if I can find regulations
[22:37]
and other municipalities that address those things
[22:41]
and see if generally those are things
[22:43]
that are included in ordinances.
[22:45]
Okay. I have to say I haven't seen any in the, in the ones
[22:48]
that I've looked at, but I haven't looked
[22:50]
at a million of them.
[22:52]
So, so I'll do some research and, and,
[22:54]
and see what, see what's out there
[22:56]
and certainly present your ideas to the board if you,
[23:00]
if you forward it to the board tonight with that direction.
[23:02]
- Okay. I think these are all good
[23:05]
points that have been made tonight.
[23:06]
I will just add that I,
[23:08]
I too am concerned about the noise issue,
[23:11]
particularly in the evening and weekend hours.
[23:14]
And I don't know if we could even regulate it more strongly
[23:19]
than the 55 decibels for, you know, off hours
[23:26]
because that's, you know,
[23:28]
at night when things are quieting down,
[23:30]
that's when you start noticing humming going on.
[23:34]
And even though they can insulate a generator house,
[23:38]
if it's, if it's really making a lot of noise it can,
[23:41]
it can carry some distance. So
[23:44]
- If you remember the first or last month we talked about
[23:47]
that 70 was the limit
[23:49]
and oh was it, I did some more research
[23:51]
and they, the recommendation seems to be
[23:54]
- 55.
[23:55]
Okay. Yeah. Okay. That sounds better then. Yeah. Alright.
[23:59]
Alright, go ahead.
[24:01]
- And just on the landscaping, just to kind of follow
[24:04]
what Roy was talking about, you know, we have the buffer
[24:08]
of a hundred feet and you know, mechanical
[24:12]
and electrical equipment shall be screened from view,
[24:15]
but can we make that stronger?
[24:18]
Because you know, like he said, it's not
[24:22]
all the trees went down and in that neighborhood
[24:26]
and we want to, we do wanna keep burg beautiful.
[24:31]
You know, and this doesn't sound beautiful
[24:34]
- For, - For the most part these would be in commercial
[24:36]
and industrial areas
[24:38]
where there probably aren't large forested areas anyhow,
[24:41]
they're probably gonna have to plant whatever it is.
[24:43]
Right? Yeah. Right there, there are certain warranty periods
[24:48]
and permanent replacement periods in our regulations
[24:51]
for landscaping and screening.
[24:53]
Now we can look at those
[24:54]
and see if we can make them stronger for this
[24:56]
or it's even legal to make it stronger
[24:58]
for one use more than the others.
[25:00]
- Okay. Oh okay, I see. Yeah, yeah.
[25:02]
- Alright. Yeah. And then, yeah with,
[25:04]
and this would require a land development plan, right?
[25:06]
Sure. So, and we do have, you know,
[25:10]
I mean we have regulations for both residential
[25:12]
and commercial industrial properties,
[25:15]
but for commercial, industrial
[25:16]
and multifamily we have land development plans which
[25:20]
require, have landscaping plans which are enforceable.
[25:23]
And that's something we don't have
[25:27]
for just a simple residential subdivision is we don't
[25:30]
regulate people cutting down trees.
[25:33]
Right. And so,
[25:35]
but we, I think we can have some stronger regulations with
[25:40]
that on land developments.
[25:42]
So, so hopefully that'll help and hopefully Yeah.
[25:46]
And I guess hopefully these people would decide to go to,
[25:51]
you know, college Township and places like that.
[25:53]
Yes. And 'cause you know, we, I mean I think
[25:57]
with our rural preservation Ordinance, I think it is,
[26:00]
you know, probably more suitable for them
[26:06]
to go somewhere else in my mind anyway,
[26:10]
- Given the limited amount of land area that we have.
[26:13]
Not to say that it couldn't be developed.
[26:15]
I would imagine there's other places elsewhere in the
[26:17]
county that would be more suitable.
[26:19]
I won't pick a Township like you did, but
[26:24]
- Story, well just not on camera, just the
[26:28]
- Electric grid alone.
[26:29]
- No, I mean, I mean obviously there's,
[26:30]
there's been discussions about all kinds
[26:31]
of things in the Dale Summit area for both, you know,
[26:35]
from stuff like this to workforce housing, which yes.
[26:40]
Those are things where it is harder in Harris to,
[26:42]
to do some of those things.
[26:45]
- Did we ever actually finish moving the landscaping
[26:48]
requirements from Zoning to salt up?
[26:52]
- I think they're actually in zone or are they in salt?
[26:55]
Well I don't, my recollection I wouldn't,
[26:58]
I wouldn't bet any amount
[26:59]
of money in my recollection anymore.
[27:01]
But my recollection is what we wanted to keep them out
[27:05]
of SDO so that they couldn't be waived
[27:07]
- And put.
[27:08]
Okay. I remember we had a couple discussions about it.
[27:10]
- Yeah, they did get a,
[27:12]
those amendments were adopted last year as part
[27:15]
of the quarter overlay.
[27:16]
When those regulations were removed, you had other
[27:19]
landscaping regulations that were in Zoning that,
[27:22]
as Todd said, they can't be waived.
[27:24]
They're gonna be required as part
[27:25]
of any land development, they have to be followed.
[27:27]
- Okay. Yeah. Okay.
[27:32]
Any other comments? I'm good. Alright.
[27:36]
- I guess, well you're gonna be taking this subject.
[27:38]
Oh yeah, Alex, oh, I'm sorry. Yeah,
[27:44]
- If you can say your name for the
[27:45]
record. Absolutely. I'm Michael Hetrick.
[27:47]
- I live over in the gates. I have not had an opportunity
[27:51]
to see the proposed Ordinance,
[27:53]
but my concern was I did spend some time looking
[27:58]
through all the other ordinances of the Township
[28:00]
and there's minimal noise regulation in the Township.
[28:04]
There's some, there's something in the ag about
[28:06]
entertainment and concerts or entertainment
[28:09]
after 1130 at night, but there's not a whole lot.
[28:12]
And my concern was that there would be
[28:15]
strong regulation of noise in, in this proposed Ordinance.
[28:21]
You've been discussing it, it sounds like there is,
[28:23]
I think also Kelly mentioned noise as well.
[28:25]
I, I mean obviously it's addressed at some level,
[28:28]
but I think it's really important
[28:30]
because as, as you all obviously know,
[28:34]
this is a 24 7 buzz.
[28:37]
These, these facilities don't shut down
[28:40]
and it's, it's a real concern, especially
[28:45]
if one would be located anywhere near any residential area.
[28:50]
And they're, a lot of, one
[28:54]
of the mentions in the Penn State is they think the
[28:56]
northeast is fulfilled.
[28:58]
There are a lot of residential areas
[29:00]
that are really regretting that they've been filled
[29:03]
because of the noise.
[29:04]
And I just think it's a really,
[29:06]
a really important factor to consider.
[29:08]
And I Thank you.
[29:10]
- Appreciate - That. A comment.
[29:12]
- Yeah. We don't want the, yeah, we thank you.
[29:16]
So we don't want the data set there to, you know,
[29:20]
overpower the new highway
[29:25]
65 decibels, 55 decibels.
[29:27]
You're not gonna be able to hear from where our industrial
[29:31]
and commercial zones are.
[29:33]
You're not gonna be able to hear it
[29:34]
'cause the highway's gonna be louder than that.
[29:36]
The Jake breaks don't want to hear
[29:40]
- That.
[29:42]
Yeah. Who would wanna live next to the road?
[29:47]
Yeah. Like 45 1 to do that. Well thanks everyone.
[29:51]
I think we covered do that then.
[29:54]
So, so you're gonna try to summarize that
[29:57]
and I guess it'll go to Supervisors next.
[29:59]
Okay. For further comments Early meeting. Alright.
[30:03]
And okay so next,
[30:08]
next item on the agenda is the open house
[30:12]
for proposed village Zoning amendments.
[30:15]
So over the last two years,
[30:17]
- Planning commission had worked on doing a comprehensive
[30:20]
analysis of the land use patterns in the village.
[30:23]
And by village I mean the entirety of burg,
[30:25]
not the Zoning district as well as some
[30:28]
of the surrounding neighborhoods.
[30:29]
And as a result, you came up with some
[30:33]
recommendations to amend the existing regulations as well
[30:37]
as creating a new Zoning district village
[30:39]
residential for portions of the village.
[30:41]
You did talk about those recommendations with the board
[30:44]
back in 2025 as well as earlier this year.
[30:47]
And they asked the commission to go out
[30:49]
and hold open houses to get feedback from the public
[30:51]
before bringing draft ordinances for their consideration.
[30:55]
So the idea would be get some Public Comment
[30:58]
if there are any changes that you wish to make
[31:00]
before taking it to the board, you could do that
[31:03]
and then bring those amendments forward.
[31:06]
So what I did is worked on getting some materials prepared
[31:10]
for open houses that you can present this to the public.
[31:14]
And the idea would be hopefully that
[31:17]
the commissioning could be present at these open houses,
[31:20]
be part of kind of describing your thoughts to the public
[31:23]
as they attend.
[31:26]
My thought was probably having two open houses,
[31:29]
one in the daytime and one during the evening.
[31:30]
That way folks with different schedules could attend.
[31:34]
And in the past, whenever we've done this, we have
[31:36]
as staff met with property owners
[31:38]
that couldn't make either one.
[31:39]
If someone's outta town or what have you,
[31:41]
we would be able to meet with them.
[31:42]
So I was gonna share the materials real quick here.
[31:46]
Let me just share the screen so
[31:48]
that folks online can see this as well.
[31:54]
And then this will give you an idea of, of
[31:56]
what this would look like going to the, to the public.
[31:59]
So there's a a series of seven posters
[32:04]
and what we would do is have these printed off mounted on
[32:06]
boards and probably set up in this room for, you know,
[32:10]
people to go around and more
[32:11]
or less follows the story
[32:12]
of the process that you went through.
[32:14]
So the first one talks about the analysis, some
[32:18]
of the background that there was a small area plan done
[32:20]
back in 2015.
[32:23]
Ad hoc parking committee that was assembled in,
[32:27]
they met back in I think 2021 and 2022.
[32:31]
And then some of the goals of the project.
[32:34]
The next poster board would talk about the
[32:37]
study area itself.
[32:38]
So this shows the area that you initially started with.
[32:41]
If you remember you had looked a little bit
[32:43]
beyond the boundaries of the historic district
[32:46]
to take a look at some of the adjacent parcels
[32:48]
to see if there was similarities,
[32:50]
if they should be included in the study.
[32:52]
And third one talks a little bit about some
[32:57]
of the analysis itself, some of the key findings of
[33:02]
what were discovered through this process.
[33:06]
And I tried to use as many
[33:07]
of these maps from the analysis as possible.
[33:11]
And then the, the next one talks a little bit about
[33:14]
you were review process.
[33:15]
So looking at the permitted uses dimensional standards,
[33:19]
parking regulations, the impact that this would have
[33:23]
in the Township and then proposed changes
[33:26]
and how it would reduce nonconformities.
[33:29]
So these are all really exciting topics that we'll just
[33:33]
engage people I hope.
[33:34]
Right. But I think it,
[33:37]
- Make sure you go into parking regulations right away,
[33:39]
like on its whole slide. Maybe
[33:41]
- You want an entire thing just about parking.
[33:43]
- Oh yeah. We'll - I wasn't gonna do that. We'll put
[33:45]
- Em to sleep right away.
[33:47]
- The hope here would be that as folks
[33:49]
attend these open houses though, they would see
[33:51]
that you were methodical about this.
[33:53]
It wasn't just haphazardly saying
[33:55]
we're gonna just make changes.
[33:57]
It was based upon an actual study, an actual
[34:00]
on the ground conditions,
[34:02]
which I think is important. Took us
[34:04]
- Five years.
[34:05]
- Ah, it wasn't quite that long. It wasn't quite that.
[34:08]
So then recommendations, there's, there's two
[34:12]
or actually three posters that talk about
[34:14]
what your recommendations are.
[34:15]
The first one is just kind of an overview.
[34:19]
Basically two districts, one existing kind of village,
[34:23]
core district and then Village Residential talks a little
[34:25]
bit about the expected outcomes
[34:27]
of having the two separate districts
[34:29]
and then a poster for each district.
[34:31]
I think that's important for property owners in either
[34:34]
of these proposed districts.
[34:36]
They can kind of focus on the one
[34:37]
that's gonna impact them the most.
[34:39]
This is where we get into parking Phil.
[34:41]
So there's parking on here.
[34:42]
An entire bottom section is all about parking regulations.
[34:45]
But you know, it goes into the details about each
[34:48]
of the different Zoning districts themselves.
[34:50]
This one's the village
[34:52]
and then this one here would be Village Residential.
[34:56]
So that was what I put together with the help
[35:00]
of center regional planning agencies, GIS specialist.
[35:05]
The questions I would have for you is,
[35:07]
does this look like an acceptable sort of, I guess, flow to
[35:11]
what you would hope to, to present to the public?
[35:14]
We would certainly have some type of feedback form available
[35:17]
for anybody who attends.
[35:18]
That way they can tell us what they think.
[35:21]
And then my hope was that you could maybe
[35:25]
identify some dates when these open houses could take place.
[35:29]
So my thought, if you don't look at item C, which I realized
[35:32]
after the fact, I'm like, oh,
[35:33]
item C in the agenda says the agenda for September.
[35:35]
We don't want to have to relive this meeting.
[35:37]
My thought was actually the,
[35:39]
that maybe you would cancel your October meeting
[35:41]
and hold these open houses in place of that meeting.
[35:45]
And then, and matter of fact, you could do that night,
[35:48]
you know, the evening of the, of the October,
[35:50]
although I think I'm out of town, so maybe
[35:51]
that's a bad time, but, but we can figure out dates
[35:54]
that would work and then probably in November have
[35:58]
that be part of the agenda is to discuss what you heard and,
[36:03]
and if if staff were to happen to meet with anybody
[36:05]
that couldn't make it as well, we
[36:06]
could bring you that feedback.
[36:07]
So I don't know, gimme your thoughts
[36:10]
and then if we can maybe look at a calendar
[36:11]
and figure out dates, that would be great. So how
[36:15]
- Many total pluss do - You have? Seven.
[36:17]
- Seven? Yes. Alright.
[36:18]
And you think you can get 'em to fit around here then?
[36:21]
- Yeah, I think we should be able
[36:22]
to get them to fit around here.
[36:23]
They're not as big as ones we've used in the past.
[36:25]
They're not the massive epl. Right.
[36:27]
So I think they'll be a little smaller.
[36:29]
Probably fit a few here on the table
[36:30]
and then we'll move chairs out
[36:32]
of the way just so folks can walk around.
[36:35]
- And I do think the important thing is it does,
[36:37]
this does show that we're looking at this comprehensively
[36:40]
and even though it did kind of start off as a parking issue,
[36:43]
that is kind of a, a back, you know, kind
[36:47]
of a back burner part of it.
[36:48]
Now it's the only thing we're doing is, is fixing some
[36:53]
of our existing park,
[36:54]
or I should say fixing, I should say revising some
[36:57]
of the parking regulations to make the, the core part
[37:01]
of the village, you know, a little more developable
[37:04]
to attract, you know, some businesses are allowing them
[37:08]
to expand knowing that and so that they park.
[37:13]
We don't have a parking problem,
[37:14]
we had an Ordinance problem.
[37:16]
So we have enough parking to provide, recognizing
[37:20]
that we still have to have some regulations
[37:23]
for expanded uses.
[37:24]
But we're not, we're trying
[37:25]
to lessen some of those regulations.
[37:27]
And also of course we're trying to protect the, you know,
[37:30]
the residential area, nature of, of the village itself.
[37:35]
And you know, as was brought up earlier tonight, we want
[37:39]
to keep burg as burg.
[37:41]
And so that, I think this will help do that.
[37:44]
And so I I think it's great. Okay.
[37:48]
I'm looking forward to it. And,
[37:50]
- And I can send these out to the commission in advance
[37:52]
that way if you wanna Yeah,
[37:53]
I I would if you wanna familiarize yourself, I'm
[37:55]
- Wondering if you, if you also maybe could have it
[37:57]
on the website for, for the public to get
[38:00]
to if they wanted to look at it. Yeah,
[38:02]
- We could definitely do that. Yeah. Yeah.
[38:04]
- So yeah, I'd like to,
[38:08]
you know, come in prepared.
[38:09]
So, 'cause people start asking you all kinds of questions.
[38:13]
- Right. - And so
[38:20]
I think, so the, the October meeting
[38:23]
would be the 19th, is that correct? It
[38:26]
- Would've been the 19th now I'm out of town
[38:29]
the first part of that week.
[38:31]
- Oh, so you're not here the 19th?
[38:33]
- I'm not here the 19th. And I
[38:34]
- See why you wanted the 19th.
[38:36]
- Well, no, I actually suggested you don't do it.
[38:37]
That after I realized it, I said wait a minute, I'm not,
[38:40]
I'm not here that, that day.
[38:41]
So No, I was gonna suggest maybe the following week
[38:48]
that way, that way it gives us time
[38:49]
to get notice out to residents too.
[38:51]
I wanna make sure folks are aware, we wanna send letters
[38:53]
to people who are actually in the study area
[38:56]
or at least the area that would be
[38:57]
rezoned if this were to go forward.
[39:00]
So I would say probably later in the month would be better
[39:02]
just to make sure we can get that notice out.
[39:05]
- So are you still thinking of Monday though?
[39:08]
- Well, if we do that Monday the 26th,
[39:11]
I have a meeting at COG that night at seven.
[39:14]
It's the general forum meeting.
[39:15]
So we could do the daytime meeting on the 26th
[39:18]
and do the evening meeting later that week if you wanted.
[39:23]
And I don't know that every planning commission member has
[39:26]
to attend both meetings,
[39:27]
but it would be nice to have a few of you there to walk
[39:30]
around and engage with residents as they attend.
[39:34]
- So, well let's just say if we're talking like the 26th,
[39:38]
27th and 28th
[39:43]
- Evening of the 20,
[39:44]
- Definitely wanna stay away from Friday.
[39:46]
- Yeah. Evening of the 28th would not work either.
[39:48]
There's a board budget meeting
[39:50]
that night. So this room will be,
[39:52]
- Maybe you pick the date.
[39:54]
- Well, I can maybe. - What about daytime on the 26th?
[39:57]
How about, how about later evening on the 20?
[39:58]
How about the later part of like the
[40:00]
22nd or somewhere in there
[40:02]
- Of the - October. October 22nd.
[40:06]
- October 22nd. There's also, - When are you getting back?
[40:08]
- There's also a budget meeting that night as well.
[40:10]
- Yeah, February then
[40:11]
- It's looking better.
[40:13]
I was, I I think the earliest
[40:15]
that would work would be the week of the 26th.
[40:17]
That's probably the earliest that the room would be
[40:19]
available and I would be available
[40:22]
- The 27th then - I I the 27th would be fine if you wanted
[40:26]
to do the evening of the 27th, we could do that.
[40:28]
- Sure. And then what, what would be a good daytime 28th
[40:34]
Or, or you said there was budget that day? The 26th.
[40:36]
- The 26th or the 28th would be fine in the daytime.
[40:39]
That would be fine. I figure we can do like an a
[40:41]
noon if that works.
[40:45]
- Everybody okay. With a
[40:48]
- 27th at night, you know, what time during
[40:52]
when your time's gonna be?
[40:54]
- I figured probably seven o'clock,
[40:56]
- October 27th, - Seven o'clock.
[40:58]
Yeah. And the daytime one,
[41:02]
- You want to, we can do the 26th if you want at at noon.
[41:05]
At noon. Does that work?
[41:09]
- Or the 28th? If that's if something that comes up.
[41:13]
- Sure. That works too. - 28th now
[41:17]
- I'm just saying I'm just put thrown out two options.
[41:19]
If I'm coming in all this planning process,
[41:21]
we find another conflict. But
[41:24]
- Yeah, I think the only thing that might be problematic
[41:26]
for having both of them in the same week would be if a
[41:29]
resident's out of town that week,
[41:30]
they're pretty much not gonna be able to
[41:32]
- Make it.
[41:33]
Well, and again, I think if,
[41:35]
if you can put it on the website
[41:36]
and then maybe give them an opportunity to
[41:39]
- Contact - One of us.
[41:40]
- Yeah, that would work. - That's
[41:44]
what I was gonna say is make sure people have ability
[41:46]
to do virtual input.
[41:48]
- Yep, we can do that. Thanks Kelly
[41:54]
- In all.
[41:59]
- All right, so - Does the evening one then we're going
[42:02]
to say is on the 27th? Is that
[42:04]
- That's what I have.
[42:05]
27th at 7:00 PM Okay.
[42:07]
And then noon on the 26th for the the daytime one.
[42:12]
- Okay. - And we'll try
[42:13]
to get those notices out here in the next week
[42:16]
or so. That way people are aware.
[42:18]
- Okay, that sounds great.
[42:19]
- You'll have something that we can look up
[42:21]
before we just show up.
[42:23]
- No, I will, I will definitely send all of these flyer
[42:26]
or these posters out to you in advance.
[42:28]
That way you can look at 'em
[42:29]
and kind of familiarize yourself.
[42:31]
And then as far as online goes, we'll either put the posters
[42:36]
online or I might talk with the planning agency
[42:39]
to see if they could do what's called a story map
[42:41]
where it's just a, we did that for the rural areas
[42:44]
and I think we did it for the small area plan
[42:45]
where you can just go online and kind of scroll through a
[42:48]
a story format and with,
[42:50]
there'll already be maps preloaded into it
[42:52]
and then at the end we can have a feedback section.
[42:54]
That way it's all in one.
[42:56]
That might be the easiest for folks. Yeah. Like that idea.
[42:59]
Yeah. So I'll work on having that put together too.
[43:03]
- Okay. All right. That sounds great. I
[43:06]
- And you're gonna cancel October?
[43:07]
That's the, that's the plan here.
[43:10]
- No, October 16th. Well we'll have an open house. Yeah,
[43:13]
- You'll have this - Instead.
[43:14]
Yes. So, all right, that sounds good.
[43:19]
I'm looking forward to it. Anything else on that?
[43:24]
Okay, we'll move on to the agenda for September. It'll
[43:28]
- Be November, - September
[43:30]
- 'cause we're already in September. I
[43:31]
- Oh, okay. I made
[43:33]
- A note in my mind to change that and did not do it
[43:35]
before the agenda went out.
[43:37]
So in addition to whatever feedback you get,
[43:43]
- Tomorrow's the first day of fall.
[43:44]
I can't believe that. You
[43:46]
- Know, in addition, I think
[43:47]
to talking about whatever feedback you get from the village
[43:50]
open houses, I would also suggest you start talking about
[43:52]
your work plan for next year.
[43:54]
- Okay. - Those would be the two items I would recommend
[43:56]
you have on your agenda in November.
[43:59]
- Well I'd sure like to get some more parking on
[44:00]
- And I usually usually appoint a nominating committee I
[44:05]
think in November too, don't I?
[44:07]
- Your bylaws were changed.
[44:08]
That's no longer part of the process.
[44:10]
You're gonna follow a process more similar to
[44:12]
what the board would do, which is
[44:13]
to just have a nomination in an election rather than having
[44:16]
a a nominating committee.
[44:19]
- Oh, did we do that? We did, - Yeah. Bob and
[44:22]
- I drank beer.
[44:23]
I thought we kept the nominating committee, but
[44:26]
- I'm pretty sure your bylaws,
[44:27]
when you admitted them, you decided
[44:29]
- To take that out.
[44:30]
I have no reason to drink.
[44:33]
- Took another reason away.
[44:36]
- You are welcome to meet
[44:38]
and I buy all you want for whatever reason.
[44:44]
So those were the two items I have.
[44:46]
I don't know Todd, if you anticipate any plans. I don't.
[44:49]
No, not currently. I don't.
[44:53]
- Okay. Well that gives us, that gives us a lot
[44:56]
for the next two months then.
[44:59]
So I'll move on to reports.
[45:02]
I know Todd, you already passed around.
[45:04]
Yeah, I think, yeah, you need to send them back.
[45:08]
And so Centre Region Planning Commission.
[45:13]
Jeff, do you have a Yeah,
[45:14]
- We have a meeting.
[45:16]
Hey, we discussed data centers pretty much
[45:19]
as we did tonight, so there's not much more to say.
[45:22]
I guess I told you what I learned.
[45:25]
The A RL at the innovation park is moving forward.
[45:29]
They've got proper permitting for sewer
[45:32]
and water I guess to, to hooked up
[45:37]
then we would, we talked a while about the proposed Zoning
[45:39]
on 200 Allen Street.
[45:41]
I think that's Addison Court
[45:46]
as I got this, you probably know more.
[45:48]
It's like, will the Borough bail us out for 15
[45:51]
and a half million or we want a Zoning Ordinance
[45:54]
to raise the building to 75 feet.
[45:58]
Of course we agreed with the planning commission there
[46:03]
that no, on the raising, they've already set their Zoning
[46:07]
to be at 45 feet on that side of Beaver Avenue.
[46:10]
And so they wanted a permit to read
[46:13]
and you know what they would do if they got that through,
[46:17]
they'd knock the building down.
[46:19]
Right. And somebody would buy it
[46:21]
and put up student housing at 75 feet.
[46:23]
So that makes absolutely no sense.
[46:24]
It's like being held hostage
[46:27]
because I think the place is 30% empty
[46:31]
because it's in such bad repair.
[46:33]
Oh really? Yeah, I mean it just doesn't make sense.
[46:36]
They gave them a tax break to have the place,
[46:38]
they gave them money so that they would be low rent
[46:41]
for people and then the owner did not take care
[46:44]
of the building and make were major repairs to it.
[46:46]
Now he wants a bail out
[46:48]
or please change the Zoning to 75 feet.
[46:51]
That's the way I read it.
[46:53]
Maybe I got it wrong,
[46:54]
but it didn't make any sense to me. So, and then
[46:58]
- I guess they agreed with you.
[47:00]
- We all said no.
[47:02]
Yeah, and then we had a discussion,
[47:04]
more discussion on the comprehensive plan and,
[47:09]
and the land use map and it's moving forward.
[47:13]
- Okay. All right. Thanks Jeff.
[47:17]
Peggy, did you have a technical committee meeting?
[47:20]
- I was not able to attend the meeting so I don't have a
[47:23]
- Report.
[47:24]
Okay. Alright.
[47:27]
Recent action by the board of Supervisors at
[47:30]
- Their August 10th meeting,
[47:31]
the board approved the Rocky Ridge final
[47:33]
subdivision plan and that was
[47:35]
- Basically just a minor land swap
[47:37]
and future dedication of East K Street to the Township.
[47:41]
Anticipate the Township taking all
[47:43]
of the streets in Rocky Ridge
[47:45]
at a special meeting this Wednesday was on their agenda
[47:50]
for the September meeting but was unable to be acted upon.
[47:52]
But after Wednesday we should have all
[47:55]
of the existing streets in Rocky Ridge as part
[47:57]
of the Township Street network board.
[48:00]
Also discussed amendments to the SDO
[48:01]
and Zoning Ordinance to require the postage
[48:03]
of signage when the subdivision land development
[48:06]
or planned residential development plan is submitted.
[48:09]
That was submitted to the, OR sent to the CRPC for review
[48:12]
and will be considered
[48:14]
for adoption at the October board meeting.
[48:16]
And then at their meeting last week,
[48:18]
the board approved the John w Tennis minor subdivision plan,
[48:20]
which proposes combining two lots
[48:22]
along Bowl Avenue into one parcel.
[48:24]
I believe it's still up here on the board behind you.
[48:26]
That was submitted probably back in August.
[48:29]
So it wasn't on any of your
[48:30]
previous planning commission agendas.
[48:32]
And they also discussed the future land use map
[48:34]
and moved that item forward to the CRPC
[48:38]
- Two officer.
[48:40]
- It's the, the old tennis lamp shop property
[48:42]
that pink line highlighted there has always gone right
[48:46]
through the middle of the property
[48:47]
and the property owner wants to remove that so
[48:49]
that it has one lot rather than two
[48:52]
- Right through the house.
[48:55]
Okay. So sure
[48:56]
- The property line's good was yeah. But yeah,
[48:59]
- So okay.
[49:02]
I roof looks good.
[49:04]
- Doesn't leak anymore. - That's great.
[49:07]
So status of land development plans.
[49:09]
You mentioned Rocky Ridge section six
[49:12]
and this King minor subdivision
[49:15]
plan that's new, is that right?
[49:17]
Yeah. And
[49:22]
so is that the lot was subdivided at one time
[49:24]
and now I want to consolidate again. That
[49:26]
- Was part of the, one of the Hawk Ridge plans.
[49:29]
The two lots that have frontage on Academy Street
[49:35]
are being combined into one lot now.
[49:37]
They were bought by the same person.
[49:39]
- Okay. Alright.
[49:42]
So instead of, yeah, so cut the number of houses from two
[49:46]
to one in theory
[49:48]
and save the Yeah.
[49:52]
And help out with some
[49:53]
of the drainage maybe coming down the hill there.
[49:57]
And does that, that's a minor plan so we, we won't do that.
[50:00]
Yes. Okay. Okay.
[50:03]
Anything else for the good of the order tonight?
[50:07]
If not, I will accept a motion to Adjourn. So moved.
[50:11]
Alright. Aye second. I second. Alright Peggy. Okay.
[50:15]
All in favor of adjourning say aye. Aye.
[50:19]
- Aye. - Thanks. All opposed? Okay, that motion carries.
[50:23]
We are adjourned.
