The supervisors have 45 days to render a decision about the conditional use application. Although the decision was initially anticipated at the regular June board of supervisors meeting, solicitor Eric Gibson stated that his drafted decision and engineer Jeff Steckbeck’s recommendation require additional preparation.
The decision will be announced at a public meeting on Monday, July 1, at 6 p.m. in the West Cornwall Township building.
Additionally, the supervisors unanimously passed a motion to tentatively award the bids for the Main St., Zinns Mill Road and Locust Lane projects to J&S Paving and Excavating for $90,880 pending PennDOT’s approval.
Improvements include updates to curbing, new sidewalks, and drainage for Main St. and Zinns Mill Road. Locust Lane improvements include tree removal and the placement of a new drainpipe.
Steckbeck also reported that the paving projects contracts were awarded to Asphalt Maintenance Solutions, LLC and H&K Group, Inc. at $20,102 and $37,250, respectively. Roadwork has not yet started.
To conclude his report, Steckbeck stated that he authorized six new permits in May, which brings the 2024 total up to 21 permits.
