Mr. Larry Sandy of 5200 Hanoverville Road was present to give the Board a petition against a Crossroad at North Commerce Way and Hanoverville Road. Mr. Sandt read the following petition:

PETITION AGAINST A CROSSROAD AT NORTH COMMERCE WAY

AND HANOVERVILLE ROAD

Please consider signing this petition against the proposed (perhaps already approved, there is some confusion about the agreement) collector road to intersect Hanoverville Road from the Jaindl Land Company's Hanover Corporate Center. This intersection will allow traffic from the Corporate Center to exit onto Hanoverville Road. We believe the entrances into the park from Route 512 and Township Line Road is sufficient. Since the intersection of Township Line Road and Hanoverville Road are only a few hundred feet apart, it seems redundant to have another intersection dumping traffic onto Hanoverville Road.

The Subdivision Improvement Agreement between Jaindl and the Township states:

Exhibit A—2 section 1—F:

North Commerce Way and Hanoverville Road intersection.

Exhibit B—3 section F:

North Commerce Way and Hanoverville Road intersection shall be reconstructed and signalized prior to approval of any development projected to generate an aggregate total P.M. Peak Hour Traffic volume of one thousand five hundred and fifty—nine (1,559) or more trips. When taken into consideration with all the other developments within this subdivision.

A signalized intersection at North Commerce Way and Hanoverville Road will surely back up the eastbound traffic and cause problems with Hanoverville Road residents entering and exiting our driveways. Trucks will be starting and stopping in front of our homes.

This intersection will require widening of Hanoverville Road to provide the proper sight triangle. Will the residents have to pay for curbing and sidewalks? Think about an additional thousand vehicles every afternoon!

This intersection will cause all of us along Hanoverville Road, east of Route 512, a lot of problems. Please sign this petition and attend Planning Commission meetings and Board of Supervisor meetings. Let our Township officials know that we are few in number, but we need to be heard!

Mr. Larry Sandt, Sr.

Mr. Finnigan stated that this will be entered into the minutes and the Engineer and Solicitor will get a copy.

Mr. William Barret from PNC Bank was present to give the Board an update on the Pension Investments.

Mr. Paul Kasiba, Investment Officer was present to discuss the change in investments.

Mr. Diacogiannis discussed the Founders Day Parade, which kicks off the 250^th Anniversary of Northampton County. Does the Township want to participate?

Mr. Colon stated to send the information to the Special Events Committee and let them work something out.

Mr. Diacogiannis stated that there isn't a lot of time and if any money were needed, then it would have to come back to the Board for approval.

Mr. Finnigan stated to send this to Sharon Seitz on the Committee.

Mr. Diacogiannis moved that the Board approve to authorize the Recreation Director to install a multi game video at the Community Center with the condition that a Hold Harmless agreement is executed.

Mr. Walbert seconded the motion.

Mr. Finnigan yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert yes, Mr. Diacogiannis yes.

Mr. Finnigan moved that the vacation policy be made to include the two employees who are celebrating their 25^th and 30^th anniversary because they are still in that service anniversary in the current year. Those employees are Linda Sterner and Kevin Healy.

Mr. Diacogiannis seconded the motion.

Mr. Finnigan yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert yes, Mr. Diacogiannis yes.

Solicitor Broughal arrived at 8:00 P.M.

Church on the Move Sketch Plan.

Attorney Ron Gunlock, Pastor Randy Landis and Ron Risco from Church on the Move and Brian Ritter from Jena Engineering were present to discuss the sketch plan.

The property is zoned R1S and consists of 30 acres. The property could support approximately 60 single—family homes. They have on the sketch plan, a proposed use; the Church is under an agreement of sale with the owners. It is subject to the standard zoning approval contingencies for the use of this property as a church facility. A church facility is not permitted in the R1S District under the zoning ordinance, but they hope that the Board consider allowing religious uses in all of its zoning districts, subject to a reasonable and customary restriction.

Pastor Landis stated that the church started in 1990 and has approximately 1500 members and updated the Board on their search to find a good location that would allow them to build their facility.

Mr. Ritter discussed the engineering aspects.

A discussion was held concerning the impervious cover issue.

Mr. Walbert stated he finds the use not incompatible with what is already in the neighborhood and is concerned with the traffic. We are inflexible when it comes to impervious cover and required parking. That will have to be looked at and whether or not we can live with our impervious cover requirements, required parking and size of the building. Traffic is a major concern and that is why we changed that zoning back to R1S.

Mr. Diacogiannis stated the only comment he had was the westerly most access point, if we all agree that there is a concern for the potential of through traffic crossing over to the Westgate area, is there any other reason why the driveway should align with Whitewood Road?

Mr. Ritter stated you have a lot more freedom of movement.

Mr. Schmalzer asked if they spoke to PP & L.

It was stated that PP & L had no objections to the plan.

Mr. Finnigan stated that this development will be looked at the same way as any other, and as long as the health, safety and welfare of the residents are satisfied, the Board is willing to consider the proposal.

Mr. Colon moved that the Board approve to grant an extension to the Caiazzo Site Plan for the completion of improvements to November 30, 2001 conditioned upon the extension of the Letter of Credit to December 31, 2001 and to notify the Developer of the Board's action.

Mr. Walbert seconded the motion.

Mr. Finnigan yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert yes, Mr. Diacogiannis yes.

Mr. Colon moved to authorize the Chairman and Secretary to sign the documents for Embassy Bank and the temporary structure agreement.

Mr. Walbert seconded the motion.

Mr. Broughal updated the Board on the Water Service Agreement with Westgate Water Company and discussed the emergency connection.

Mr. Walbert moved to authorize the Chairman and Secretary to sign the water service agreement with Westgate Water Company conditioned upon receiving a date certain of the emergency inter—connect between the Bethlehem Water Authority and Westgate Water Company.

Mr. Colon seconded the motion.

Mr. Finnigan yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert yes, Mr. Diacogiannis yes.

Mr. Salvesen arrived at 8:35 P.M.

A discussion was held concerning a tree that was removed on the property of John and Gail Brown at 1175 Greenleaf Drive. The tree was removed because the roots were growing into the sewer line. We received a letter from the Shade Tree Commission requesting that the Board require them to replace the tree, which is the policy.

Mr. Walbert moved that the Board approve to notify the Shade Tree Commission that John and Gail Brown of 1175 Greenleaf Drive will be exempt from replacing the tree at the front of their home due to the fact that the roots are growing into the sewer line, and to notify Mr. & Mrs. Brown of the Board's decision.

Mr. Diacogiannis seconded the motion.

Mr. Salvesen yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert no, Mr. Diacogiannis no, Mr. Finnigan no.

The motion failed by a 2—3 vote.

Mr. Walbert moved that the Board approve to authorize the Chairman and Secretary to sign the agreement for the Jacksonville Road/Stoke Park Road intersection improvements between Hanover Township and Grace Industries.

Mr. Colon seconded the motion.

Mr. Salvesen yes, Mr. Colon yes, Mr. Walbert yes, Mr. Diacogiannis yes, Mr. Finnigan yes.

Mr. Walbert stated he received a call from a resident stating their concern about areas where we re—pave. There are cases where the manholes have several inches drop between the pavement and the manhole. Do we have any standards where for the depth of the manhole before they have to have risers on them?

Mr. Sterner stated it depends on the circumstances and whether or not you can obtain risers. Mr. Sterner discussed the process that the Township takes.

It was noted there was no one available to offer any comment.

Mr. Sterner stated that a few weeks ago the Board asked that he meet with the Engineer to look at Fairview Street. Ann McHale called and wanted to know where we were at with Fairview Street. I told her that we were no further than we were before, that we looked into what was there and get the same results as before. She wants to know what the Board is going to do, are we moving forward with it, do we have intentions of opening up Fairview Street or not.

Mr. Salvesen stated that the Manager draft a letter stating that when we get 100% resident approval to have the road put in, we will open it up for discussion, and that the Township will not condemn the property.

Met with Senator Dent, a representative from Lisa Boscola's office, Walter Bortree from Penndot along with others from Penndot and from the County regarding the Aspen Inn Drainage situation. After a lengthy meeting, Walter Bortree from Penndot stated he is willing to partner into getting a program started where we can try to resolve some of the issues with the drainage, but the property owners must also be willing to help with the corrections. The State has shown some initiative in that they are willing to meet us half way in the performance of the work that has to be done.

Reported that around 4:30 P.M. today, received a fax from Attorney Anne Manley regarding Manorhouse stating that they are requesting an appeal challenge of the vote of the Board of Supervisors of July 26, 2001.
