MICHAEL PELET- 11 Lot Subdivision on University Road.  This Preliminary Plan was presented by Judy Parry of Concord Land Planners.  Chester County Health Department has given approval for this plan June 24, 2005.  All other reviews have been received last year.  The Planning Commission suggested that Concord Land Planners approach the Supervisors regarding the following:

• What will happen with the Open Space (presently it is on one lot)

• Ownership of the detention basin on Lot 9 – maintenance needs to be discussed

• Lewis Drive name approval will need to go to 911 Coordinator and County

LINDA PETERSON/ALBERT ALLEY – 2 Lot Subdivision on Spring Valley Road.  This plan was presented last month.  The Solicitor for the township informed the Planning Commission Chairman that the property cannot be subdivided as is because

“increasing the non-conformity because of the extra mobile home on the lot”

Mrs. Peterson will discuss this or try to find an alternative with her engineer.

JAMES LEES/FORESTVILLE BUSINESS CENTER – Lot 3 – Land Development Plan.  This plan was received before the meeting, July 5^th.  The Secretary informed the Planning Commission that last year a subdivision and add-on plan was approved for this property and reviews were received from Chester County Planning Commission and Chester County Health Department.  At this time, the owners are proposing a Land Development Plan which will have a single use.  The Developer is planning on placing a warehouse on the property.  Since no one was in attendance representing this Land Development Plan it will be placed on next month’s agenda for discussion.
