two-lot subdivision located on Christonia Road.
Page 4 of 6
The motion by the Planning Commission read: To approve the Ferlan Plan of Lots two lot subdivision with
no conditions and no further recommendations.
At the Supervisors meeting held May 21, 2003, the previous Board made a motion to deny the Ferlan Plan
of Lots because Mr. Ferlan failed to make payments on his obligation to reimburse the Township for the
Route 910 II Waterline project.
Note: As of February 18, 2004, Mr. Ferlan has paid in full the obligation for the Route 910 II waterline.
Therefore, Mr. Ferlan is requesting the Board approve the Ferlan Plan of Lots Subdivision Plan.
Mr. Ferlan was not present at the meeting and in the past, the policy of the Board was to have the owner or
a representative present at the meeting to answer questions the Board may have. After some discussion, a
motion was made by Mr. Guerre and seconded by Mr. Hollibaugh to approve the Ferlan Plan of Lots
Subdivision Plan. After further discussion, Mr. Hollibaugh questioned the automatic approval the
subdivision plan would have after 45 days if the Township doesn’t vote on it and withdrew his second.
After some discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Guerre and seconded by Mr. Tanilli to approve the
Ferlan Plan of Lots Subdivision Plan. A roll call vote was taken. Members voting yes, Mr. Guerre, Dr.
DiSanti, Ms. Shurina, Mr. Tanilli, and Mr. Borczyk. Members voting no, Mr. Hollibaugh and Mr. Biehl.
Motion carried.
PROGRESS/UPDATE ON ROCK AIRPORT’S GRADING PERMIT:
Mr. Rock Ferrone was present and indicated he submitted the description of the Stormwater Recharge
System and the actual Stormwater Recharge Plan drawing and schedule to the Township. Mr. Dailey
indicated the Township did receive it. Mr. Ferrone submitted a photo of the site. Other items discussed
were the progress list, bonds, and water quality written plan.
The Board of Supervisors authorized Mr. Ferrone the grading permit at their February 4, 2004 meeting and
it was contingent on the Recharge System being taken care of. Mr. Ferrone will need to arrange to have a
contractor to have the recharge system installed within the perimeters of the time schedule that is shown on
the materials list that was delivered to the Township. Based on that understanding, the Township will
exercise its right to terminate his existing grading permit if no contract is present at the May 5, 2004
meeting. After much discussion/comments, a motion was made by Ms. Shurina and seconded by Mr.
Hollibaugh that the Township not terminate the grading permit at this time as long as at the May 5, 2004
meeting the Township receives Mr. Ferrone’s letter of either the contractor or that his own people are going
to do the work as per the schedule. After further questions, a roll call vote was taken. Members voting yes,
Mr. Tanilli, Mr. Guerre, Mr. Biehl, Mr. Hollibaugh, Ms. Shurina, and Mr. Borczyk. Member abstaining,
Dr. DiSanti. Motion carried.
Dr. DiSanti requested to obtain a copy of the report on the water filtration system.

A motion was made by Mr. Tanilli and seconded by Ms. Shurina to “opt in” to the Uniform Construction
Code for the Township. Being this is the first step in the process, the Board will initally adopt an
Ordinance for the Uniform Construction Code. Motion carried unanimously.
