Chestnuthill Township supervisors this week discussed the ongoing violations on the John Mickens property on the corner of Westbrook Road and Cameron Road.

Mickens received a nuisance notice due to his garbage that littered his entire property and did not follow through with cleaning the property up.

At the Oct. 4, 2022 Chestnuthill supervisors meeting a motion was made by supervisor Eric Snyder and seconded by Chairman Chuck Gould to approve the advertisement for Mickens appeal hearing at 5 p.m. Oct. 18, and a hearing decision was entered on Nov. 15.

“The outcome of the supervisors was to try to talk to his daughter and get him to hire a contractor to remove the junk in a timely manner and if he didn’t comply the township would have to hire or bid the work out and then we would be charging Mickens 110% of the cleanup costs,” Gould said.

The supervisors and Manager David Albright plan to try to resolve the problem in the coming week.
