Emergency Access?

Hi again, everyone,

Just a quick update on last night's Board of Supervisors Meeting and the hearing on the conditional use application for the Shover Farm Development: The developers said that they met with the fire houses in the township to get their opinion on emergency access to their proposed development for 390 units off 641. Shockingly, one of the developers failed to mention that he could not include sprinkler systems in some of his units because "it is cost prohibitive". Hmmmm....Why bring that up at the hearing and not before?

So, let's do some math. 390 units for the Shover development plus another 330 for the Alexander Spring Village project...does that equal enough emergency service personnel for our township??? And if there isn't enough, will the township have to hire more and raise our taxes to do so??

We don't know about you, but our budgets are stretched pretty thin already! No new taxes to support unpopular development in our township!!

Make sure the Board of Supervisors knows your opinion!
