SANATOGA PA – A presentation, scheduled to be given by builder J. Wilmer “Wil” Hallman of Wil Hallman Retirement Development, has prompted the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners to move up the start of its Thursday (Oct. 22, 2009) meeting in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, by an hour, to 6 p.m.

Township Manager Rodney Hawthorne reports Hallman will introduce a proposal, already discussed with township staff members, to build eight additional housing units in the Buchert Ridge retirement community on Buchert Road. If approved, the units would be included on an additional floor in a structure already accepted as part of the development, Hawthorne said. The public may attend.

An advertisement purchased by the township and published in today’s (Monday, Oct. 19, 2009) edition of The (Pottstown PA) Mercury newspaper, Lower Pottsgrove’s publication of record for legal notices, announces the changed meeting time and purpose but does not specifically name Hallman. Commissioners’ meetings usually begin at 7 p.m.

An agenda for the board’s meeting usually can be downloaded in advance from the township website. As of 5:40 a.m. today, only the agenda for its Oct. 5 (2009) meeting was available.

It is not known when, if at all, township planning commissioners will similarly see Hallman’s proposal. The planning board was scheduled to conduct its regular monthly meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the municipal building, but its agenda also was not yet available this morning. It is known that at least two, and possibly three, planning board members said they would be unable to attend tonight’s meeting, creating the possibility it will be re-scheduled.
