It has been a fantastic week so far. On Sunday, we had almost 30 people at the Potluck, including half-a-dozen brand new faces, and some folks we have met before, but hadn’t seen in a while. We hope to see them all again, of course. The children had a fantastic time making cookies with Margot. The stated purpose of the cookie exercise was to provide cookies for Tuesday’s Planning Commission meeting, but there were plenty for the hungry bakers to eat some, too. Judging from the sticky faces, no one left with an empty belly. Be sure to click on the picture to see all of our bakers.
Tuesday evening we went in front of the Planning Commission (with plates of cookies in hand) to officially kick off the Conditional Use process. The township engineer had reviewed the plans and submitted a letter listing a number of concerns like moving the workshop out of the setback, potential glare from the solar array, ensuring adequate fire truck access, and ensuring adequate buffering. However, nothing seemed like it was insurmountable. Our counsel, engineer and developer were able to address everything wonderfully. After a few additional questions and a bit of discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that we proceed to the Conditional Use Hearing with the Board of Supervisors. We’re sure the cookies helped, too.
Pencil in the evening of January 4 on your calendars for our Conditional Use Hearing. We’ll confirm that on the calendar as we get closer. We would love to have your show of support.
Was glad to be a part of this and meet you all and happy to talk to you all about what an awesome project you have. We need to get the word out. Thanks, Jeff Berlin
