States of America and to the republic
[0:18] for it stands. One nation under God,
indivisible and justice for all.
[0:25] » Thank you. [clears throat]
[0:29] That brings us to our first public
discussion period of two on the agenda.
[0:34] Is there anyone wishing to be
recognized?
[0:39] » Seeing none, I'll move on. I'll take a
motion to approve the consent agenda
[0:43] items as listed and posted.
>> Thank you. Motion second.
[0:48] » Move to second. All in favor say I.
>> I. Post say nay. Motion carries.
[0:53] Committee reports zoning and hearing
board. There are no applications, Mr.
[0:58] Chairman.
Very good. Parkour and Miss Postman.
[1:04] » Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The next park
board meeting will be in this room this
[1:08] month. It's September 22nd at 7 p.m.
>> What was that?
[1:13] » That's unfortunately council.
>> How's that?
[1:17] » I think they were thinking it was going
to be maybe worse weather than we had.
[1:22] Um, unfortunately, and they don't have a
rain day. Castle for the year.
[1:27] » H
>> cancelled for the year.
[1:28] » Yeah.
>> CN 27.
[1:30] » CN 27. Exactly.
>> Very good. Fire chief.
[1:36] » Seeing no one. If there's a report that
gets submitted, we'll have it on files.
[1:41] Uh Freedom Valley Medical Rescue.
>> Do you want me to come up there or is
[1:45] this
>> Yeah, wherever you want your coffee.
[1:49] » Chief Hayne's going to be here tonight.
So, my name is Tom Shane, assistant
[1:52] chief. She asked me to come. So, I will
give you the information. I believe you
[1:55] won. For July, we had 273 dispatches out
of our Harleysville station. 153 of
[2:03] those were in Lower Southford. 120 were
outside of Lower Southford Township. Of
[2:08] those in the township, we were able to
cover 122. Outside agencies covered 31.
[2:15] We were recalled by VMSC 74 times,
recalled by other agencies four times,
[2:23] and the station was in service 100% of
the month.
[2:28] Is there anything else you would like to
know?
[2:31] » Well, I think we're good.
>> All right.
[2:33] » Appreciate you coming out tonight.
>> Thanks.
[2:35] » Yep.
>> Thank you. Very good. Uh,
[2:39] nearly on it. Moving right along.
Communications committee. Miss Kelly.
[2:44] Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A brief update
from the communications committee. Um,
[2:49] from March to June, we ran the residents
resident communication survey. Um, we
[2:56] had 196 responses. Um, from those
respondents, everyone got to choose
[3:02] three of their um, top choices for how
they currently receive news and how they
[3:07] would like to receive news. Um, from
those results, most people are receiving
[3:12] their news through our constant contact
email. Um, but people seem to they would
[3:20] like to see more text notifications come
from the township. So, utilizing the
[3:24] readym service about 58% of respondents
would like to see text messaging
[3:32] services. So,
>> do we have a breakdown of the
[3:37] sabotage of residents that are have text
alerts from Ready Mont?
[3:42] » That could definitely be Oh, um I don't
>> just curious how that compares to our
[3:50] databases.
>> I don't think the number is huge. So,
[3:54] whether or not people know it exists, I
think would be the next question. Are
[3:59] you receiving them and would like to see
more or are you just not receiving them
[4:02] at all?
>> If anyone has any questions about that,
[4:07] I can send you the full results as well.
Um, the communications committee is also
[4:11] working on public comment guidelines to
assist residents to um be better
[4:18] prepared and know what our public
comment process looks like. Um, so if
[4:24] you have any recommendations on what you
would like to see on those guidelines,
[4:28] it will mostly just be a resource on our
website for individuals who are looking
[4:32] to make public comment to prep, know
that they should state their name and
[4:36] address and that they can post what
questions they would like. Um, and
[4:43] finally, the communications committee um
has seen other nearby townships have
[4:49] website pages for upcoming ordinances.
Um, and so that would mean anything
[4:54] that's on future agendas or is currently
being advertised um would just have a
[4:59] separate page of its own on the website
so residents could stay up to date on
[5:03] what's coming down the pipeline. So
again, if you have any thoughts on that,
[5:07] the communications committee is looking
for your input.
[5:12] » Grace, I would like I would like to see
the I if you could send me the results
[5:15] of the survey, that'd be great. I also
really like
[5:20] what you said about educating people on
how to present thoughts they have and
[5:26] also to let them know that we welcome
them at every meeting. Public discussion
[5:31] times are always on the agenda. So
that's great to hear
[5:35] » certainly and those guidelines will come
before the board before they go to our
[5:38] websites.
Just one one item too on the public
[5:42] comment process if you know the
guideline could include what meeting
[5:47] might be best for each subject matter
>> so that the right meeting
[5:52] » that is all
>> we do get back from time to time it is
[5:57] » all right very good moving along the
recreational authority uh recreation
[6:02] authority we [clears throat] had our
meeting uh a week or so back uh got our
[6:08] financials from July
uh doing terrific the month of July.
[6:13] Exceeded budget um in all categories and
we actually exceeded play by about 55
[6:22] rounds over budget. So the course is uh
looking great. Uh there is a lot of
[6:28] play. So
stay the course as it get. So with that
[6:34] uh we'll move on. Uh there is no
unfinished business. that up it seems.
[6:39] All right. Uh, new business.
[clears throat] Resolution 2026-21
[6:44] is authorizing the submission of a grant
application for the 2026 Main Street
[6:49] Matters program.
That is a
[6:54] Let's see if I get this right. uh a
grant of a total of 399,150
[7:02] would be um the township's portion uh
out of a $798,300
[7:09] grant. We're looking to get half. That's
the request.
[7:15] » This is for ornamental wedding
installation.
[7:18] » So, we don't have a plan put together
yet. We just kind of have a idea of what
[7:22] we want and where we want it. We did
look to have them approximately every
[7:27] 100 ft supplementing the current
existing overhead utility lighting. Um
[7:32] so that is the plan as of now from Maple
to Huntsburg or on Main Street.
[7:39] » One side.
>> Yes.
[7:41] » I have a quick question. Where do we get
our matching funds? Like where do we
[7:45] take them?
>> Uh our capital reserve I think.
[7:52] Any other questions, comments?
If not, I'll take a motion to approve
[7:57] that resolution.
>> I'll make the motion. I'll second.
[8:00] » Moved and second. All in favor say I. I.
Post say nay. Motion carries.
[8:05] » Next up, resolution 2026-22
setting forth the minimum municipal
[8:10] obligation for police and non-uniformed
employees pension funds for the calendar
[8:15] year 2027.
Joe, I don't know if you want to be able
[8:19] to back out on this, but required by the
state.
[8:22] » It is a requirement by the state to
ensure that the township had equity
[8:26] funding the various pension plans. Uh we
have police pension plan. We have a
[8:31] non-uniform pension plan that includes
employees who were hired prior to 20
[8:37] 2016. And then we have a defined
contribution plan which was uh everyone
[8:44] who's been hired after 2016. Um and
county the county actuaries review the
[8:50] plans, review the u the funds that are
in the uh funds for the the pension
[8:57] program and then they calculate based on
actuarial assumptions what the yearly
[9:03] contribution from the township should
be. Um there was slight increases in uh
[9:09] in each one uh nothing major and that
usually follows the uh the stock market
[9:16] because the funds we have each of the
plans are in in
[9:22] funds for that are largely in the stock
market 100%.
[9:26] » No, it's usually about 65 35.
So there's some in bonds and and cash as
[9:33] well. Uh but uh it's a pretty standard
mix. Um so the
[9:40] MMO for the police pension plan is
slated for $342,673.
[9:48] The
lower south municipal pension plan is uh
[9:54] $56,000
[9:57] uh $125.
um a portion of that $223,
[10:03] uh454
is for the authority, the township
[10:08] authority and the township uh
non-uniform plan are are done together.
[10:14] So they're both the employees in the
authority and employees in the township
[10:20] are under the same pension. So there's
they calculate how each t so the tax
[10:26] portion is 56,000 and the authority
portion is 23,000 they have fewer points
[10:33] and the contribution um
plan for uh township is $70,924
[10:44] for the authority is 18,65.
[10:50] » Very good. Any uh questions or further
comment on resolution 2026-22?
[10:59] » Hearing none, I'll take the motion to
approve.
[11:02] » Motion second.
>> Moved and seconded. All in favor say I.
[11:06] » I. Say nay.
>> Motion carries. Next up, resolution
[11:10] 2026-23,
which is the commitment of funds for
[11:14] land preservation of the Keen farm. This
would be the uh township's uh commitment
[11:22] to that to that farm. 15% reserves the
farm. It's $47,8365.
[11:31] » And this is a budgeted item that we went
for.
[11:37] » Any questions or comments for the board?
>> I just think it's great that the team's
[11:42] wishes have finally come to fruition.
Congratulations
[11:47] to the teams on accomplishing what was a
family goal and uh I'd be delighted to
[11:54] approve the resolution
for
[11:59] 2026-23
commitment for funds for agricultural
[12:04] conservation of the food. Second moved
and seconded. All in favor say I. I.
[12:10] Oppos say nay. Motion carries.
Next up, resolution 2026-24.
[12:16] This is 270 Main Street, 460 Stover
Road, lot line adjustment plan approval.
[12:24] Mr. Chairman, Sure. If I could before we
start this um given
[12:29] um share of ownership, my family has an
H& properties. I will be abstaining from
[12:35] all declaration, discussion, and voting
on items. Very good.
[12:39] » There's a member item that has been
drawn up by the our solicitor. I will be
[12:43] signing this and getting it to town
manager.
[12:46] » We'll attach it to the minutes. Very
good.
[12:50] All right. With that, uh, we have some
friends in to, I guess, discuss the this
[12:56] is the outcome of our triparty
agreement, uh, to facilitate the
[13:00] purchase of Leo.
>> Yep. You took the words out of my mouth.
[13:05] This is just the lot line plan and I
have a representative here from Van Clee
[13:08] Engineering to answer any questions as
well as Bobby Henning from H&A
[13:12] Properties uh Limited Partnership.
>> Very good.
[13:18] Any questions of the board comments?
[13:23] It seems like we've met a thousand times
about this. So, uh
[13:27] » I feel like I just saw you. It's great.
>> You may regret that later. Um all right.
[13:34] So then with that uh any uh any comments
>> somebody here?
[13:39] » Yeah. Well, for the benefit of those
that might watch this video in the
[13:43] future, maybe have just uh Scott run
through real quick and
[13:48] » give it the [clears throat]
30,000 foot.
[13:52] » Yes. Uh good evening. Scott Mill,
landscape architect with Anleaf
[13:55] Engineering. Uh worked on the plan in
front of you uh there on the screen. Uh
[14:00] you can kind of see a running more or
less through the middle of the site a
[14:03] cyan bluish color line. That's the
existing um left edge if you will of the
[14:09] uh property. You can see the shopping
center to the right, the Henning
[14:12] shopping center. Um the idea was to
expand the shopping center. And in order
[14:17] to do so, we needed a lot line
adjustment. So uh over to where the kind
[14:22] of the green dash line is is the
proposed lot line. And in total, it's
[14:27] two and a half acres net. Uh there's
some land in the ultimate right ofway,
[14:31] which is typical of something like this.
Um that's about another quarter acre of
[14:36] land. And that goes all the way back to
the rear property line, which you can
[14:40] see the the left side, the yellow
dimension, 655 ft deep. Uh it's
[14:45] trapezoidal in shape. There's uh it's
about 124 feet wide in the back and
[14:50] about 202t wide in the front.
>> Very beautiful.
[14:55] All right. Any questions regarding S?
Hearing none, I'll take a motion to
[15:02] approve resolution 2026-24.
>> I'll make the motion.
[15:07] » I'll second.
>> Moved and seconded. All in favor say I.
[15:10] » I. Post say nay.
>> Anyone abstain?
[15:13] » Yes.
>> Very good.
[15:16] » All right. Next up, uh this will be
ordinance 2026-09
[15:20] 270 Main Street, uh commercial district
zoning map amendment, authorization to
[15:26] advertise.
Mor.
[15:30] » Thank you. Um so if you mind putting
that plan back up. Um what this map
[15:36] amendment proposes to do is to uh
reszone that 2 and 1/2 acre parcel from
[15:43] from MU mixed use to C commercial to
match the zoning of the H&A property of
[15:50] the shopping center which is currently C
commercial.
[15:53] » Right. This shopping center intends to
use this 2 and a half acre piece of
[15:57] ground uh in commercial center.
>> Correct.
[16:00] » Yeah.
>> We tried to avoid a split zone property.
[16:05] All right. Very good. Any questions
regarding S? Yes, sir.
[16:09] » Is that potentially going to lead to
another fast food restaurant?
[16:13] » Uh I believe there is a uh site plan or
sketch plan that is in the work and have
[16:19] you been before the planning commission?
>> We have uh that that conversation will
[16:24] be continued at the planning commission
on September 23rd. Um but that
[16:28] application has been filed with the
township and is available for you to
[16:31] inspect. So, it wouldn't be just a fast
food. It would also be, I think, an
[16:35] expansion of the St. Luke's. There's
other buildings proposed on that plan.
[16:43] Make a
>> like a surgery center. St wants to make
[16:48] it a surgical center or something or
>> correct. The the nitty-gritty of that
[16:51] still being worked out, but it will be
an an expansion of that existing St.
[16:55] Luke's. Yeah.
>> Great.
[16:59] » It would be nice. Does that answer your
question? Yes. Thank you.
[17:02] » Can I get your name and address for the
record?
[17:04] » I'm sorry. My name is John Mertz. I live
in Hidden Creek. I've been a township
[17:08] resident for 27 years.
>> Good to see.
[17:12] » All right. Very good. Any other
questions or comments regarding
[17:15] ordinance uh 2026-9?
>> Just that there will be a hearing next
[17:20] month and this is just a motion to
authorize it to be advertised in
[17:24] accordance with the MPC municipalities
plan code.
[17:27] » Yeah. Thank you.
Make a motion.
[17:31] » Move the second. All in favor say I. I.
Post say nay.
[17:37] » Yes.
>> All right. Very good.
[17:39] » Great. Thank you very much. Good to see
you. Have a good
[17:42] » All right. [clears throat]
With that completed, we'll move on. Uh
[17:47] this will be again ordinance 2026-10
open space and frails committee
[17:53] ordinance authorization to advertise. Uh
this will be to facilitate the uh earned
[18:02] income tax that was passed in May, so
long ago. Uh and forming a committee to
[18:09] uh do a host of things, but not the
least of which uh will be the evaluation
[18:15] of potential open space to come before
including the home.
[18:21] » Mr. Chairman have a comment regarding
the proposed
[18:26] um item 27-4
talks about meetings. It says a
[18:31] committee shall hold regular meetings no
less frequently than on a monthly basis
[18:36] with additional meetings conducted as
needed to fulfill the duties of the
[18:39] committee. While I do believe the
committee is going to have to meet on a
[18:43] monthly basis to get started, I believe
that might be uh an encumbrance at some
[18:48] point in time down the road. And I'd
like to maybe quarterly
[18:53] » um and then give them the flexibility to
meet more frequently if needed.
[19:00] » Any other comment category? So since
we're just advertising, we can make this
[19:04] edit and get it advertised according.
>> Yeah. If the if the uh consensus of the
[19:09] board is to make that change, we can
make that change and have that version
[19:13] advertised
>> and then also to list the change of at
[19:18] least quarterly updates to the board
with an annual written because right now
[19:24] we have it monthly based on the
conversation.
[19:27] » That does make sense, right? um meet
quarterly. Report quarterly.
[19:30] » Meet me meet quarterly.
>> Report quarterly. Yeah. So those would
[19:33] be the two changes to this ordinance if
if the board um authorizes advertisement
[19:39] this evening.
>> Good with those two changes. I'm good
[19:42] with that.
>> Any comment
[19:47] reflection? All right. All right. So
then with that, we'll take a motion to
[19:52] authorize the ordinance um with the two
edits bill.
[19:58] » I'll make the motion.
>> I'll second.
[20:00] » Move the second. All in favor say I. I.
Post say nay. Motion carries.
[20:06] » All right. Next up, motion to approve
fire police assistance to Tommenson Fire
[20:11] Department for the chicken barbecue on
September 12, 2026. I'll make the move.
[20:19] » Second.
>> Moved and seconded. All in favor say I.
[20:22] » I. Those say nay. Motion carried.
>> Next up, motion to approve fire police
[20:27] assistant to Eert Auto Body for their
car exhibit and open house scheduled for
[20:33] September 26th, 2026. I'll make a
motion.
[20:37] » Second.
>> Moved and seconded. All in favor say I.
[20:40] I. Post say nay. Motion carries. All
right. Next up, motion to appoint
[20:46] members to the uh hopefully soon to be
formed open space trails committee. Um
[20:53] we had the privilege uh to review I
think 19 applicants in total. Uh, one
[21:01] thing I will say for sure, we have a
very uh,
[21:07] learned uh,
I guess population here in Lower Safford
[21:13] Township that the applicants that we got
are great. Uh, I I would have in past
[21:18] times we've had openings that we
couldn't fill. I would have appointed
[21:22] any one of those 19 students.
Unfortunately, we're we're down to
[21:26] three. We're only going to add three to
the what will be for long to I guess in
[21:32] total there'll be nine members. We've
got six in place we believe currently uh
[21:39] with three more to add. So Joe, if you
want to just read off those that are
[21:43] going to be I guess put forth as
committee members. Uh for the record
[21:47] that probably
[21:51] [clears throat]
>> So the three
[21:55] uh citizen members are waited for Andy
Kraak,
[22:01] Alexandria
Matea
[22:04] and Liam Clearary.
The two from the planning commission are
[22:09] Joe Harwano and Julia Hurl.
The two from the park board are
[22:14] Stephanie Moyer and Indie Burch. And the
two on board of supervisor
[22:19] representatives are Keith Bergman and
Mary Beth.
[22:24] And then uh in January uh that will be I
guess part of our reorganization as
[22:31] would be with others boards and Okay.
Very good.
[22:36] » So with that I'll take a motion.
>> I'll make the motion.
[22:39] » I'll second.
>> Would have been seconded. All in favor
[22:42] say I.
>> I.
[22:43] » I. Post say nay. Motion carries. All
right. That brings us to our second
[22:48] discussion period of the evening. Second
of two. Is there anyone wishing to be
[22:52] recognized? Mr. today.
>> Scott Bford 665 North
[22:58] couple questions one.
Uh we had a streetscape plan being
[23:04] worked on, didn't we? At one point in
the last few months,
[23:08] » we did submit a grant um to enable us to
go through a planning process. So
[23:13] there's still ways to hear about that.
>> And how does that connect with the
[23:17] voiding point? Where should they be
connected?
[23:21] » Definitely they probably will.
hand
[23:26] check and then help me understand this
open space and trail committee versus
[23:32] the park committee.
>> You ask you as a question where where
[23:38] was that coming from?
>> Well, I'm going to let Joe feel this
[23:41] because Joe and Holly have done a little
research on our park board and I think
[23:46] uh we've got a little more work to do.
Well, [clears throat]
[23:50] the park board
was formed in 1968. Uh, Slass Township
[23:58] Code requires it to be implemented via
pen ordinance, which never happened.
[24:03] [clears throat] So, basically, the park
board has been somewhat of an ad hoc
[24:07] committee since 1968,
>> but no,
[24:10] » 58 years. But to I guess more to your
point, I think that the discussion was
[24:14] and it had been since we've been
discussing how this committee was that
[24:20] there was in place an ad hoc committee
for frail society and much of the
[24:25] discussion they had was finding
connections and connections that were
[24:31] publicly owned connections because
everybody those connections a lot easier
[24:34] than if you have to go out and so forth
from residents or host. Um so there was
[24:40] a portion of what they did as a trail
and sidewalk committee that overlaps
[24:44] with the open space committee. So there
they the the committee the open space
[24:50] committee and trails committee were
looking at some similar situations and
[24:54] as far as where trails could be placed
and also open space. So it just was a
[25:00] kind of a natural progression that the
trails committee which was basically ad
[25:03] hoc already
was [clears throat]
[25:06] this was making that a more uh formal
portion of the trails and so I mean not
[25:13] the open space since you know I mean
it's difficult unfortunately we had 19
[25:17] people so it wouldn't be as difficult
now as it was in the past but to the man
[25:23] or to have people on two committees is a
lot more difficult
[25:28] But since a lot of what they were doing
over overlapped cement.
[25:32] » So essentially the charter of the park
committee will change to just remove the
[25:35] responsibility of trip.
>> Well there was no charter.
[25:38] » Well okayent [laughter]
the intention will be the intention will
[25:43] be you got the ordinance now set up for
the open space committee. We're going to
[25:47] have a similar ordinance for the park.
>> We recreate it
[25:49] » and we're going to recreate it in a
manner that they complement one another.
[25:52] » Okay. Because the other thing that the
open space committee is going to do is
[25:56] assist I think in the direction of
pursuing grants and funding
[25:59] opportunities which isn't something
necessarily that the park board did. So
[26:03] there's going to be kind of a division
of labor.
[26:05] » It's going to be a partnership.
>> It really is really unique. Okay.
[26:10] » And is I mean good good question. So the
overlap one of the overlaps would be the
[26:14] trails.
>> No they'll redo it.
[26:17] » Now there won't be an overlap.
>> No they'll redefine the responsibility.
[26:20] » Yeah. I mean, there still may be things
that come up on the trails at a park
[26:24] board meeting that might get kicked back
to open space as, hey, here's an
[26:27] opportunity for a connection. Can you
guys go try to figure out how to connect
[26:30] these two pieces? And then that would be
a challenge back to open space. That's
[26:34] just an example. In the park board would
do much of what they do is uh monitor
[26:38] maintenance and park usage and so forth.
So, it would probably keep that focus,
[26:44] but obviously people come to the park
board and they say, "Hey, I have this
[26:47] great idea to do this." And so maybe
that would be where the park board would
[26:50] say hey you know the open space trails
commitment is the appropriate place for
[26:55] that question right now you know
implementation comes back to the park
[26:59] » and then the oversight of the funds is
in connection with
[27:05] » all funds are with you
>> recommendations come from that
[27:09] » correct
>> in both cases okay
[27:11] » this is a recommend we'll point them in
the recommendation
[27:14] » and there's arguments between the two
wrestling we had to have a cage Okay.
[27:19] Three [laughter] public
invited.
[27:23] » I choose that.
>> I got one. One other question. Come back
[27:28] a little bit.
>> Okay. Uh has the board seen the Clemens
[27:32] Mill development?
Ule
[27:38] on May behind.
>> The board
[27:42] preliminary plans. Was is is there um
street lighting on Sunny Town with that
[27:48] project?
>> I'd have to check plan. I can't recall
[27:51] » because you're stopping at Maple, right?
And then I just wondered why start stop
[27:56] at Maple and Huger or what made it those
two roads. And I'm thinking we're going
[28:00] if they're doing lighting out there
because they're building some new homes
[28:03] on Sunday Town as part of that project
too. New homes. if I don't recall if
[28:09] they're putting street lighting because
it only kind of makes sense to extend
[28:13] the street lighting to Maple if that's
where the other grant money is kicking
[28:18] in.
>> Well, it's a cost.
[28:20] » Yeah,
>> obviously. And it's not that I think
[28:22] that that Maple and Hunsburg would be
the only in between those would be the
[28:27] only places would eventually go up. I
think it's that's kind of the core of
[28:31] the village and that's the first place
to start. And I guess that's where I'm
[28:34] saying if I don't think you finalize
that development at the Clemens, if
[28:40] there's an opportunity to have them
continue it into the new neighborhood
[28:44] along Sunny Town because they're going
to be putting in sidewalks along Sunny
[28:47] Town, a couple new homes. If they could
put one or two or three to get it down
[28:53] to closer to Maple to keep it going so
we don't have to pay for it.
[28:56] » Maybe we should get a spec for the
street lighting on Main Street that we'd
[29:00] like to see.
I think we have them right.
[29:03] » Yeah, we were looking um to use similar
lighting ornamental structures that is
[29:09] in the development um behind the wall.
I'm sorry, I can't remember the name
[29:18] » sounds good.
>> Good.
[29:22] » All right. And so in keeping with all of
that, we got word today that uh our
[29:27] elected representative for the
state was successful in getting us
[29:34] $250,000
uh grant put towards open space and the
[29:40] track. So I think that's our first true
grant coming in. So
[29:47] » hopefully many more to come but we were
hoping like 800 8 million worth take you
[29:53] write the check we will take and we'll
make a big one up don't get so anyway
[29:58] that's another goal in in this
>> all right very good
[30:05] » you exhausted your question
>> yes I am
[30:07] » my three wishes
>> any other public discussion yes sir
[30:12] » I asked this in the um planning
commission meeting, but I don't know if
[30:16] it was the right venue to ask it.
>> Uh given the traffic light at the end of
[30:21] Quarry Road and now the easier access on
and off of Quarry on the Sunny Town
[30:25] Pike, is it possible to put a uh no
trucks local deliveries only sign on
[30:33] Quarry Road there?
There's um
[30:38] » we
>> because of the proximity of where I
[30:40] live, I observe a fair amount of large
truck and tractor trailer traffic. I
[30:45] think cutting off the
113 in Sunny Town fight corner heading
[30:50] over the skip. Yeah. And uh I've
actually noticed a couple trucks,
[30:56] you know, 45 or 50 foot traffic failers
coming up Bridge Road through old 40ft
[31:01] road and trying to get out of there
during lunch hour. So, it just was they
[31:05] already took out the stop sign or the uh
Yeah, the stop sign, the big turn arrow
[31:10] there, and that guy's landscaping
several times. Yeah. Making a right
[31:14] there. So, and you're right. I mean,
they're cutting that corner off and
[31:17] using Google to do it
>> as opposed to a truck
[31:21] » app, you know.
>> So, yeah. So, I agree with you, but I
[31:24] don't know if we can
>> One thing we could do Well, we could do
[31:28] a truck study.
>> We'll do a truck study. We'll have our
[31:31] traffic engineer uh do that evaluation
and let's see what uh make on that.
[31:37] » Thank you.
>> Of course,
[31:39] » I'm with you on that because yeah, see
I'm seeing a lot of truck driving
[31:42] traffic back to the whole area now.
>> Yeah,
[31:44] » makes sense.
>> Makes sense.
[31:47] Any other public discussion? Yes, sir.
Name an address for the record.
[31:51] » Chris Williamson, 268 Trirley Drive. Um,
yeah. I uh probably this is a better
[31:58] question for the uh soon to the the uh
trails committee, but I I love our
[32:04] trails here in Louis Salford. I think
it's one of the great resources we have.
[32:09] Um I just when I went on a bike ride the
other day, um I was wondering if there's
[32:15] plans to connect off Oak Drive. There's
those two new developments that went in.
[32:21] Um I forget the names of them, but it I
looked at the plans that were available
[32:25] online. It looked like
there was going to be a a trail that was
[32:31] going to connect to that development
across that stream. There is a bit of a
[32:36] and I was just wondering
>> change in elevation
[32:38] » there. Change in elevation. That's
right.
[32:40] » Yes.
>> I was wondering what it reading through
[32:43] some of the planning commission minutes
I might have missed something. Seemed
[32:48] like like one was built sooner than
planned or later than planned. Is there
[32:53] a plan to connect that or how long would
that is there any estimate on the time
[32:58] frame?
>> Yes, there is plan conceptually to
[33:03] connect uh through you're talking about
the post office and the new up there all
[33:08] the way down to Main Street. Uh there's
a bridge structure that needs to be
[33:13] installed because of the change in
elevation. So that's kind of the future
[33:17] improvement that uh we're hoping to will
occur. Uh it's going to take some fun.
[33:22] So, uh, we're looking for grant
opportunities to do that. I don't think
[33:26] we've developed plans yet
>> for the covert.
[33:29] » Yes, the covert will start momentarily.
>> Okay.
[33:33] » Yeah. The cover
then the road beyond the bridge,
[33:39] » but the trail it wouldn't take a whole
lot to connect that to that development
[33:43] on their side.
>> I mean, the road. Yeah. That would take
[33:47] » much more funds, right?
>> Oh, you talking about Sturgis, the
[33:50] Sturgeis neighborhood. Uh the oldest
is I think it goes the trail goes
[33:57] through there, doesn't it?
>> Yeah. The the trail's going to go over
[33:59] the cover and and connect to the culdeac
in the back. In fact, there'll be
[34:03] another single family home built back
there.
[34:05] » Yep. Okay, great. It's awesome.
>> Come back in about six months.
[34:10] » Okay.
>> Come back anytime.
[34:14] Uh the there is a map on our website
that does speak to the trails that are
[34:20] out there, the sidewalks that are out
there and kind of what future
[34:23] improvements we're targeting. So it I
don't know if you have a chance to look
[34:27] at it. That's a good resource.
>> It's a good It's definitely a good
[34:30] resource.
>> Very good. Any other public discussion?
[34:35] See no takers. I'm going to move on. Do
we have need this evening for executive
[34:39] session?
>> Yes, Mr. Chairman. Brief executive
[34:42] session. No need to return. Excellent.
So with that u agreement, we'll take a
[34:48] motion to adjurnn.
>> I make a motion to adjurnn.
[34:52] » Second.
>> Moved and seconded. All in favor say I.
[34:54] » I. Oppose say nay. Motion carries. Thank
you all for coming in. Pleasure guys.
[34:58] Thank you.
There is a
