A
public hearing was held on the following subdivision of property:
Presque

Engineer Morris explained that no representative
appeared at the January Planning Commission meeting so it was tabled one
month. At the February Planning
Commission meeting, again there was no representative present, so it was tabled
again for one month. The Board of
Supervisors, under the present Ordinance, has the ability to deny the
application. Engineer Morris noted that
the developer and engineer were called both months. Attorney Adair said that under the former
Ordinance if the applicant did not appear at the Planning Commission meeting,
the application was tabled. That is not
what the current ordinance provides. It
indicates that if the applicant does not appear and does not give good cause in
time for the Supervisors’ meeting, the Board shall deny the application. He advised the Planning Commission at both
meetings, based on not knowing the provisions of the current ordinance, to
table. It is very unusual that a
developer seeks subdivision approval but fails to attend any meetings. It does cost the Township money and employees
time. Section 6.20.1 of the Subdivision
Ordinance says that if no one appears, the Planning Commission shall recommend
that the application be denied. It is
then referred to the Board of Supervisors.
Unless the applicant, prior to the Board’s consideration, provides good
cause for the non-attendance, the Board will deny the application.
It was moved by Mr. Kujawa and seconded by Mr. Curtis
to deny the application of Presque Isle Investments, LLC as defined above. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
