LNT Board of Supervisors Meeting Notes 04/09/2008

Thanks to Joe Greene for forwarding his notes from the meeting:

A brief summary of the meeting of the Lower Nazareth Township Board of Supervisors held on 04/09/2008.

The conditional Use Hearing, CU 2008-01, for First Industrial (see Express Times Article of 04/09/08 for info on project and location) was deferred at the request of First Industrial until the August 6th meeting. Bowling Alley and Warehouse - what kind of combination is that?

During Managers Comments, Tim Tenges stated he wanted to move the Townships pension assets from National Penn (formerly KNBT) to Philadelphia Trust Co.  He stated he wasn't asking the Supervisors for a decision tonight, was just giving a heads up. Felcheck and Spangler (spelling?) of Philadelphia Trust Co. gave Tenges a presentation and he said he liked it.  Tenges did not provide any information about the presentation or benefits/risks to the Township of making the change. Maybe he will before the Supervisors vote on it?

Under Courtesy of the Floor the Supervisors heard from the Corvette Club of Easton who were represented by Mr. Charles Gordon.  Basically the Corvette Club has been holding "Cruise Nights" for the past eleven years at Northampton Crossings without incident; with all proceeds going to Camelot for Children (www.camelotforchildren.org/) a great charity, until the township staff told them they couldn't anymore. That is unless they wanted to move to the Burger King parking lot and cut the show in half.  The Supervisors thanked them for coming and noted Camelot for Kids is a good charity (but they took no action nor made any recommendations) after Tenges said it's not for the Board to decide, it's a zoning issue.  It's sad, that's what it is.  Rather then deal with the offenders and/or the undesirables the Twp. Staff just say no to all and try to blame that on the "rules.".
