DORRANCE TWP. — The newly formed appeals board of the township’s planning commission is set to hear its first case Thursday — a neighborhood spat between residents of Blue Ridge Trail.
Dorrance supervisors were told by Alan Snelsen, zoning officer, that David Greene of 7425 Blue Ridge had appealed Snelsen’s decision that an existing use prevails at a property adjacent to Greene that’s home to an auto-body repair shop. Greene contends the business is not in compliance with zoning regulations and has appealed Snelsen’s decision.
He also sees the auto-body operation as a danger to his on-site water system.
In other business this week:
• Supervisors approved a proposal from Pennsy Supply Inc. for the creation of two pedestrian crosswalk zones at Pennsy’s quarry operation on Small Mountain Road. The company will pay for road painting and the erection of signs.
• The board voted 3-0 to approve the minor sub-division plan of Susanne Laws.
• It was announced by Patricia Davis, secretary-treasurer, that PPL will install LED bulbs in the township’s streetlights. The utility will cover the cost of the work.
