Show us the Money!

Hi everyone,

We hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. We're thankful that we live in an area unspoiled by overdevelopment.

But that could change. With this crazy economy, who's loaning Barry the money to build his dream of 330+ townhouses? If the financing falls through in the middle of construction, then get used to scenes like the one above.

The dates for the Township Meetings are: Board of Supervisors is December 17th at 7pm; the Planning Commission meeting is December 18th at 7pm.

Hope to see everyone there!

Special Exception for Sewage???

Hi again everyone,

Some people received a letter in their mail about the special exception hearing on October 29th (Wednesday), 6:00pm at the township building. The notice included in the letter reads in part:

"The Special Exception Application of Alexander Spring, LLC (Applicant) with a business address of 5237 East Trindle Rd, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050. In accordance with West Pennsboro Township Ordinance 2008-1, Applicant is required to obtain special exception to install any sewage treatment infrastructure, dams, bridges, culverts, relocated watercourses, or any sanitary or storm sewer impoundment basins within the defined Floodplain Overlay District.

Applicant is proposing to cross the Alexander Spring Creek wit public water and sewer and install infrastructure with the defined Floodplain Overlay District on property located at 74 McAllister Church Rd and 100 Barnstable Rd., Carlisle, PA"

It's time to for us to start asking some questions....

Why so quiet, Barry?

Hello again--The developer Barry Lyons (pictured to the left) was actually at the Township Planning Commission meeting last night....but had nothing to say.

He certainly likes to keep a low profile. For a big time developer, he has no website and has no other examples of his other projects that he has presented to the township. Hmmm....that's odd. And, we're told that he only signed into the meeting after other people had left the room. Why is that? Of course, as we've also learned, he was quite happy to talk with Planning Commission members in private after the meeting was adjourned and people had left the building....

C'mon, Barry, show folks what you've got!

The next big meeting will be the Township Board of Supervisors on 1 October at 7:00pm at the township building.
