  3. Public Comment/Guests

    4. Ken Stoltzfus presented a letter to the board in response to the board’s letter to him regarding truck parking/maintenance on the shoulder on Church Street. Mr. Stoltzfus is parking multiple trailers and sometimes trucks there for extended periods of time. Mr. Stoltzfus stated that the board’s statements in the letter about loading and unloading were untrue and that he viewed the board’s letter as an attempt to discriminate against him. He recommended the township consider offering fee-based parking for the shoulders and add paint lines and regulations.
    Chairman Briggs stated that it was not discrimination since the board would have the same viewpoint to any person using township land to operate a business. He stated that Mr. Stoltzfus has also painted his trailers on the shoulder. Members of the board also stated that they would rather not pass a new ordinance because they would rather not hinder truckers parking their trucks while home for the weekend, but if this problem persists, they will be forced to. The board decided and Mr. Stoltzfus agreed to give 90 days for him to make other arrangements for his trailers.

    d. Elam Burkholder plan – The board stated that whether or not it is subdividable depends on the date of the prior subdivisions since the code changed in 1986 and also on the notes on the drawings (on each subdivision, one half has no subdivisions left, the other half has one subdivision left, and the notes on the drawings specify which is which). Elam is to discuss with Barry.
