Mike Sanford spoke on behalf of this petition. He stated that the residual parcel was not approved for a septic system. The Erie County Health Department and Planning recommended this form to put on the plan as a notification to any potential buyer that the property was not a buildable lot until such time public sewers were available or received septic approval.
There were no other public comments.
After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Sitter, seconded by Mr. Skellie, and carried 4-0 to recommend approval of the petition to the Board of Supervisors.
The following communications were heard:
Matthew Puz was asked to give an update on the progress of SALDO. He stated that they were continuing to work on the SALDO with steady progress.
Sue Weber, 5338 Norris Drive, stated she was asked to come before the Planning Commission by the Chairman, Gene Strohmeyer to talk/discuss the properties purchased by Millcreek Township on West 8th Street. She gave the members two document packets (What is in the best interest of the taxpayers and Synopsis of 8th Street property purchases by Millcreek Township) which she talked about them. She was not happy with the Supervisors purchasing of the properties and was surprised that it was not discussed with the Planning Commission. She felt if the Supervisors had discussed this with the Planning Commission the purchases would not have happened. She was not happy that the Supervisors used the money from the sale of the Water Authority that should have been used as a rainy-day fund. She did not want to see the purchases of the last two properties.
Mr. Skellie felt that the Planning Commission might want to pass a resolution regarding the old Grasshoppers in support of urging the General Authority to incorporate it into the design of any new development if possible. Mr. Kubeja felt that the property would have to be vacant to possibly attract any developer and to put that type of restriction would not be feasible. Mr. Skellie tried to put that in the form of a motion and Atty. Hirneisen informed Mr. Skellie that was not on the agenda and could not be voted on because the public would have to be informed.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned on motion by Mr. Kubeja, seconded by Mr. Sitter, and carried unanimously at 6:06 PM.
Tony Sitter Acting Secretary
