COMMISSIONER GOECKE MOVED TO APPROVE PZ97-9. MOTION
SECONDED BY CHRISTIAN.
Francis Bevilancqua introduced herself and stated she owns property across from
Karen Subdivision. She stated she had confusion as to where her property was on the
map. She was concerned about the public use easement. She stated that there were
two easements and wanted to know if the easement was going to be maintained. She
asked if Doris Avenue covers the easement and stated that there is occupied property
located behind her and the occupants are using the easement and her property for
access.
Commissioner Glick stated that one easement is a power line easement and the other
is a water easement. Commissioner Bryson suggested that she contact the Borough if
there are access problems. He stated that this is only a rezoning hearing. He stated
that there may be a public easement but it has never been developed. Commissioner
Glick stated that the plat was approved at the last meeting and this meeting is only to
approve or disapprove the zoning request.
Commissioner Mahurin stated that the plat is reviewed at the Borough.
Commissioner Bryson stated he thought the plat was coming up for review on
Monday.
Commissioner Bryson asked Bill Zubeck about the status of the public use easement
that cuts through the property. Bill Zubeck stated that it is a water easement. He
stated HEA also has a power easement. He stated that the water line easement was
vacated years ago and there is no public access.
Commissioner Christian asked if Bill Zubeck had considered a RS1 zoning. Bill
Zubeck responded that some of the lots have no sewer connection. He stated they
will all have city water though. He asked for clarification of the difference between
RS and RS1. Commissioner Christian stated it had to do with the size of the lots.
