1st Order of Business:

2nd Order of Business:
Bob Monus presented proposed amendments to the Zoning Resolution to the Board members. He stated that Sam Pitzulo, of Sam Pitzulo Homes, had filed a variance requesting relief from density requirements for two properties in Poland Township. This variance was heard before the Board of Appeals, but the Board felt they did not have the authority to deal with density issues.
In reviewing the current R-3 sections of the current Zoning Resolution book, Monus felt several changes needed to be made. There are two properties left in the township that are R-3, and these are the properties in question. Once these properties are replatted, there will be no more R-3 properties in the township.
Monus stated that Sam Pitzulo is proposing to construct condominium units for ownership, there will be no rentals. This will be similar to Roberto Place.
Monus stated Sam Pitzulo is in attendance and will present his proposal to the Board.
