I was not able to log into the last zoning meeting on 3/24. I didn't see the minutes posted yet, but was wondering if there has been a decision as to when they plan to vote on it?

I am just checking back to see where things stand with our property - the Yorlets Farm on Mulberry Drive? Has the property been removed from historical property list? 

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back. I hope all is well.

I had requested that your property be removed from the list as it was listed as pending at the time. I will forward this email to Cliff Jarret and he can verify the list correction and advise us.

Subject: Re: Historical Property

I checked the comprehensive plan which I downloaded on 29 March and the Yorlet farm is not included on the list of historic properties.  I will check with township staff to ensure that there isn't an updated list that hasn't been published yet.  If I there is and it includes your property I will let you know and request it be removed.

Are there any updated versions of the historic properties list that came out after the comprehensive plan was published?  If there are, please send me the the most up to date list.

You can have your engineer /professional staff submit the materials to the TWP to forward on to FEMA. I have also attached snips from the flood plan maps of the property.
  

Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Subject: 401 Mulberry Drive Floodplain/Riparian Discussion - Wednesday 8/10/2022
Importance: High

Thank you for carving out some time to discuss the land development project at 401 Mulberry Drive. We can make it over to your office for a 9 AM meeting, if that works for you. 

As we discussed, this is already on your radar. We are trying work through the land development process. One of the major items is the floodplain boundaries. The site is currently using an 2009 effective FEMA floodplain boundary. It is our understanding that you have developed new, proposed boundaries, that are set to be effective sometime in 2023. We’d like to have a discussion around the following items:

• How were the updated boundaries analyzed and calculated? Was a full HES RAC done?

• Does this data take into account the coarse geology and multiple sink holes that are present in the stream bed?

• Do you think we would benefit from an updated HEC RAS that takes into account removing the existing water obstruction that is part of the farm access road and possibly assessing any downstream bridge updates that may reduce upstream flooding?

• Is there any chance the township would be willing to work with us on capacity issues since we are going to assist the township in meeting their MS4 goals by enhancing the riparian corridor of the stream on-site. 

• We’d like to discuss off-site floodplain areas that may be affected by our project. 

• Do you have preferred examples/plans of riparian buffer enhancements. 

We truly appreciate your time and willingness to chat. I look forward to meeting with you on Wednesday.

Board of Supervisors meeting: Engineer update, item #3 - Traffic signal updates: Rt. 114 & Mulberry Drive, The project is in the final document completion stage. Supervisor Lenker asked if the traffic lights in each direction could be checked as they appear to conflict with overhead power lines. Mr. Moyer will have this investigated. Also, Mr. Palmer reported that luminaries will be installed on each side of the road.
