Mr. Jack Calahan was present to discuss the property at Jacksonville Road and Stoke Park Road regarding the impact fees, sewer fee and open space fees. Mr. Calahan would like to use the Manorhouse contributions toward the Hanover Glen Development.

The Board stated they have no problem with that as long as there is documentation stating so.

Mr. Finnigan discussed the letter received from The Pidcock Company regarding Lehigh Valley Hospital — Muhlenberg Emergency Entrance Sign they are proposing to erect a directional sign on the east side of Schoenersville Road approximately 750 feet south of the Schoenersville and Macada Road intersection.

Mr. Finnigan stated he doesn't have a problem with the sign and would ask that Mr. Sterner review this with Mr. Birdsall. Mr. Walbert asked if the sign would be in the PennDot right—of—way. Mr. Sterner stated that is something they have to find out.

Attorney Joseph Plunket was present representing Bethlehem Medical Arts improvement and discussed two requests. The first being, the Board granting us permission to receive the certificate of occupancy permit for the building itself. Second, the roads are in and paved and have been inspected by the Township, the only thing that is not done, is some of the grass is not yet stabilized. The landscaper would prefer to do that in the spring. They ask that the Township accept the dedication of the road in its current condition.

Mr. Birdsall discussed the occupancy permit issue. The developer's agreement has a restriction on occupancy, that says these people cannot occupy the building until Wegman Drive and Stoke Park Road is done and the road leading back to their lot is done and acceptable to the Township. Mr. Birdsall stated he can see allowing them some waiver for the occupancy, but if the Board moves in that favor, then he would want certain conditions to be put on it. In regard to the Road dedication issue, it is the policy of this Board not to accept improvements until they are complete.

Mr. Salvesen directed Mr. Sterner to work with Mr. Birdsall and Mr. Broughal to draft the necessary documents so the occupancy permit can be issued, and get the snow plowing and other items cleared, conditioned upon receiving the water approval letter from the City of Bethlehem, the as—built drawings, and the sewer as—built drawing as specified by the Engineer.

Attorney Plunket stated that is acceptable.

Mr. Colon moved that the Board recommend an amendment to the Bethlehem Medical Arts Improvements Agreement to allow an occupancy permit to be issued for the building prior to Northgate Drive being dedicated and accepted by the Township conditioned upon the water approval letter from the City of Bethlehem, the sewer as—built plans and the snow plow agreement.

Mr. Finnigan seconded the motion.
