The two ordinances were approved by unanimous vote (5-0).

Longwood Gardens – Request to Re-direct traffic on Greenwood Road.   Greg Papiernick, Director of Public Safety at Longwood Gardens, requested permission to alter the direction of traffic on the northern leg of Greenwood Road for up to 90 minutes at a time during heavy traffic at Longwood Gardens for the Christmas-display season.  The plan would be in force only if site conditions prohibited parking on the field at Longwood.  By unanimous vote (5-0), the Supervisors approved the plan for limited re-direction of traffic on the north leg of Greenwood Road.

Pylon Sign at Shoppes at Longwood – John Jaros, Esq. represented the owners, who are seeking to amend the Sign Agreement between East Marlboro Associates and East Marlborough Township; the Agreement provides for only one pylon sign at the development.  The Zoning Hearing Board had granted a variance for an additional sign, but the Agreement prohibited the additional sign.  By vote of 4-0, with Mr. Sarro abstaining, the Supervisors agreed to amend the Sign Agreement to permit the additional sign.

Stream Bank Erosion on Ross Property.Jim Hatfield explained thebrief investigation he performedregarding some of the contributing factors to water flow in the stream.  The Board agreed that two supervisors and Jim Hatfield would meet with Mr. & Mrs. Ross to discuss the problem. 

Zoning Ordinance Amendments.Property owner Dick Pratt and his Planner, Ray Ott, had made two presentations to the Township regarding a recommended ordinance amendmentfor the Cluster and Lot Averaging section of the ordinance.  The proposed amendment would permitan increase in the number of single-family dwellings to be placed on smaller lots coupled with additional Community Open Space.  The amendment would provide for another option, but would not repeal the Lot Averaging and Cluster options already in the Ordinance.By unanimous vote (5-0), the supervisors agreed to transmit the proposed amendment toboth the Township and County Planning Commissions for review.

Belrose HOA Concerns.Property owners Benjamin Hickinbotham and Michael Liebman asked about issues in the subdivision that they felt should be corrected by the builder.  They said that they had consulted with an engineer who is scheduled to conduct an investigation of the storm water basins.  They agreed to share the results of the survey with the Township.  No action was taken.
