SANATOGA PA – This month’s Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Planning Commission meeting, which was anticipated to be held tonight (Monday, Nov. 21, 2011) at the municipal building on Buchert Road, has been canceled. But just as the planners are now scheduled to next meet during December, so too are officials expected to decide who will become the commission’s newest member.
An announcement on the township website gives no indication why the regular monthly meeting of the Planning Commission was called off, although it has similarly occurred several times this year. Most often the reason is that planners have nothing to review in an economically tight real estate market for which few new projects are proposed.
The Planning Commission’s last meeting of the year is scheduled for Dec. 19 (Monday) at 6:30 p.m., also in the municipal building.
In planning-related news, the township Board of Commissioners acknowledged Thursday (Nov. 17) it is preparing to recommend who should become the Planning Commission’s newest member. A vacancy in its ranks has existed since former board member Nicholas Hiriak resigned in July.
Board of Commissioners’ President Jonathan Spadt said the township had received seven applications to fill the vacancy, “and in my opinion some are clearly not qualified,” he added, although he did not identify individuals. He asked fellow commissioners to read through resumes provided, choose three or four potential candidates, and be ready for a possible vote on one during December.
