Old Business:

· Dick Decker will send a memorandum to Tom Sharer to notify the Supervisors of the areas the Commission intends to potentially recommend for rezoning from Ag to Conservation and our intent to send a letter to the property owners targeted for rezoning. The letter will invite the property owners to the November 27 Planning Commission meeting to discuss the rezoning rationale prior to a Public Hearing. Dick Decker will draft a letter for the property owners. The Planning Commission will review it at the November 7 meeting. Lucy Curran will obtain addressed of the affected property owners.

· Prior to the next meeting, a subcommittee will prepare comments on the Draft Ordinance Governing Municipal Management of Individual and Community On-Lot Sewage Disposal Systems in Potter Township, Centre County, PA, and present them to the Planning Commission at the November 7 meeting. Mark Fortney and Pam Winter will serve on the subcommittee. In addition, Dick Decker will ask Dave Henning to help out with his expertise.

· Jake Tanis said that that there is no need to send a letter to Cecil Irvin, as Chairman of the Centre County Ag Preservation Board, regarding concerns about a potential reduction in the maximum amount paid for Ag Preservation land. It appears that the low bid for John Ishler farm ($2,500 per acre) resulted from the lack of surrounding farms in Ag Preservation. The official point system was used to determine the bid offer.

New Business:

· Pamela Winter was appointed to the open position on the Planning Commission in an October 19, 2007, letter from the Board of Supervisors.

· The Commission had no comments on the Final Plan for Heckman Subdivision and Lot Consolidation.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:01 PM by a motion made by Ron Sweitzer that was seconded by Lucy Curran. All members approved the adjournment.

Respectfully submitted, Lucy Curran, Planning Commission Secretary.
