PUBLIC COMMENT:
-B. Keyser asked for the Planner’s comments regarding the DEP drilling permit that was issued to Arbor Resources. It was the consensus of the Planner’s that they were concerned that the permit had been issued in the Residential District. S. Baluh commented that DEP does not take into account local land use rules when they issue permits, it does not determine where the well is going to be drilled. After a lengthy discussion, the Planners commented that they would support the decision of the Board of Supervisors.
-S. Mendelson is concerned, and wanted to make the Township aware, that test holes are being dug and markers have been placed on the property at Church Hill and Frogtown Roads.
