Lancaster Township Board Of Supervisors Meeting Minutes
The Board of Supervisors meeting covered several key administrative and operational items. The Board approved the appointment of Melvin Torres as an officer to the Lancaster Township Police Department. Departmental reports were presented, including updates from Planning & Zoning, the Township Engineer, Public Works, the Police Department, and the Township Manager regarding community events and service statistics. The Board also reviewed and took action on planning and zoning items, including a demolition permit application, a financial security release request for a local church graveyard project, and the reinstatement of a land development plan for a commercial site. Additionally, the Board approved a PennDOT indemnity agreement for a trail project and awarded a new refuse and recyclable materials collection contract to Goods Disposal. The meeting concluded with guest recognition regarding the former Burrowes Elementary School site and a historical presentation.
The board reviewed a variance application for the property at 909 E. King St. regarding the conversion of a vacant single-family dwelling into a multi-family apartment building. Discussion focused on the requested dimensional variances, parking arrangements, and the overall benefit of rehabilitating a distressed property versus the claimed lack of hardship. The applicant subsequently amended the proposal to request a 3-unit dwelling instead of 4-units, and the board voted to close the record and continue the matter for a future decision.
The meeting included a briefing on the Southern Village Phase V sketch plan, which proposes ten single-family dwellings and will require an amendment to the conditional use. Additionally, the commission held a discussion regarding a proposed non-vehicular campgrounds ordinance. Suggestions were made to clarify definitions, regulate camping timelines, establish setback requirements, and address safety and sanitation provisions.
