Development News from the latest meeting
Locust Lane Street Vacation Report and Agreement Approved
The Board of Commissioners approved the street vacation report and agreement for Locust Lane, authorizing the Township manager to execute the documents. This action follows a hearing on June 18th to vacate a portion of the right-of-way on Locust Lane in connection with the Spring Creek development. The report, combined with an agreement, will be filed with the county, and the abutting property owners are accepting the right-of-way back. This is a necessary step before adopting an ordinance to vacate the street. [cite: 216-242]
Township Approves New IT Services Agreement with InfraDab
The Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with InfraDab for IT services. The new agreement is a 40-month contract, which differs from the previous 48-month term, aligning better with the budget cycle. The monthly cost remains the same at $8,469.06, an increase from the current service agreement cost of approximately $6,300 per month. [cite: 89-107]
Cratsenburg Fishing Pier Nears Completion Despite Contractor Issues
Regarding the Cratsenburg fishing pier project, the contractor has encountered issues but is addressing them at no cost to the township due to a design-build contract. The structural engineer has certified that the piers have passed all tests. The contractor is finalizing construction, with materials on-site, including decking and railings. Paving of the walking path and minor site furnishings are also pending. The project is expected to be completed by early to mid-August, weather permitting. [cite: 426-475]
Township Approves Purchase of Used Vehicle to Supplement Fleet
The Board of Commissioners authorized a budget appropriation and contract for the purchase of a used vehicle from Hanover Township. The vehicle is a 2023 Ford with just over 3,700 miles, with a reserve price of $30,000. This purchase is intended to provide an additional vehicle for recreation staff, accommodating needs and offering useful life. The purchase was not in the 2026 budget, so the township will transfer funds from the general fund balance to the capital projects fund, not to exceed $35,000 for the purchase. The board expressed that this is a good deal, as vehicle prices are unlikely to decrease. [cite: 152-209]
Township to Request Pedestrian Crossing Signage on Spring Creek Road
The Board of Commissioners authorized the Township manager to submit a request to PennDOT for pedestrian crossing signage on Spring Creek Road at Heritage Drive and to execute related documents. This is intended to improve the safety of the existing pedestrian crosswalk in that area. The board also discussed reviewing other mid-block crosswalks for similar signage needs, including one on Indian Creek near Sarah Kraut and another on Spring Creek Road. Additionally, they noted that a crosswalk above Willow Creek near Wawa might be removable due to new development at the corner. [cite: 26-43, 56-75]
