SANATOGA PA – In the space of only five minutes, without fanfare and with a few chuckles over the length of the process, the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Planning Commission unanimously granted approval Monday (June 21, 2010) of the final land development plan for reconstruction of the Pottsgrove School District’s Ringing Rocks Elementary School on Kauffman Road.
“I’ve got the plan here if you want to see it again,” Kevin McAghon of Landmark Engineering offered. “I think we’ve seen it more than enough,” commission Chairman Geoffrey Dailey countered with a smile.
McAghon, representing the district’s engineering firm, ticked off a lengthy list of approvals and reviews already received from other municipal agencies involved. He also noted that Lower Pottsgrove’s engineer, Bursich Associates, had a “few minor items that need cleaning up;” he told planners the district would comply with all of them. “Other than that,” McAghon added, “I think we’re done.”
Commissioners agreed, and sent the finished documents on to the township Board of Commissioners – the final authority on such matters – for its approval.
“Now we just don’t know what we’re going to do with our free time on the third Monday of the month,” McAghon joked. He and other district representatives have been regular fixtures at Planning Commission meetings for about a year. “I’d go take a vacation,” Dailey replied.
