Supervisor Payne introduced state representative, Chuck

Marcia Gershenson advised the Board that there are citizen
appointments on various County Boards that are vacant.
Sharon Walker, 837 Foxhall Rd., spoke to the Board
regarding builders in the Township and the duration of their
projects. Supervisor Payne responded that the Township had
researched the possibility of developing an ordinance that
would place a time limit on the construction of a home, but
found it is a violation of state law and building codes to do
so. However, the Township does utilize the Ordinance
Department to provide builders with motivation to complete the
job in a timely manner.
Ms. Walker stated that there is a site on Foxhall Rd. that
has had heavy equipment parked for awhile. Supervisor Payne
said that he will look into getting the equipment moved.
