· Kathy brought a letter from the current land owner authorizing Kathy to act on the property she is purchasing, a new letter requesting a zoning change, and a drawing of the proposed new driveway since the Supervisors requested she close the existing driveway.

Tom pointed out that with approving Resolution

Solicitor’s Report
· On the Rallis Driveway, he submitted a brief and provided a copy to the Supervisors.
· On Bonetti Subdivision, he spoke with a Realtor involved with Fred Henry about what may be put up in terms of improvements. One thing is cash put in escrow but then an appropriate agreement is needed. We need a Letter of Credit or Bond, some security. Bob C. said there is a problem because Fred’s letter only mentions clearing brush and it’s more extensive than that so that needs clarified.
· He thinks the Emery Development is approved. Discussion followed. The county apparently approved Emery.
· Regarding weight limits on the roads, Budd contacted PA DOT and they will do the study.
· A property consolidation is needed for the 2-Township lots across the street. Linn Auman will do a legal description of the revised lot.
