Summary

The Halifax Township Planning Commission held a brief regular meeting on February 7, 2022, called to order at 7:00 PM and adjourned by 7:55 PM. Chairman Jake Gruver presided, with members Flo Mallonee, Chad Lebo, and Secretary Dwight Hoffman present, along with Solicitor Bruce Warshawsky and HRG Engineer Alex Greenly. The session centered on a new development review for Lake Tobias Wildlife Park and early discussion of revising the township's subdivision and land development ordinance.

  • Lake Tobias plans accepted for review (4-0): The commission voted to accept plans for two proposed structures at Lake Tobias — a new souvenir shop and a bus shed. The bus shed will require a Stormwater Management Plan, and the souvenir shop will be subject to full Land Development review.
  • SALDO revision discussion: The commission discussed separating the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) and updating its terminology and timeline. The topic was requested to be placed on the March 7, 2022 agenda for further review.
  • A to Z Construction: An ongoing matter with nothing new brought forward for commission review at this meeting.
