A Chestnuthill Township resident spoke during public comment at the board of supervisors meeting this week about road damage from a current detour for the Merwinsburg Road project.

“It shouldn’t be the township’s responsibility to pay to repair these roads,” Jim Serfass said.

Township manager Dave Albright said that the assistant roadmaster had a meeting with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials and it “seemed like a positive meeting.”

Currently, there are counters on the roads. People are using these roads as detours, although it is not the official PennDOT detour.

In other business, an ordinance to amend supervisors’ compensation was approved.

In January, the board authorized advertising an ordinance increasing compensation from $4,125 to $6,915 annually. The new rate is for any supervisor who begins a new term and doesn’t apply to the current board members.

In other business:

• A date to advertise an ordinance to vacate a portion of Firehouse Lane was approved for the next supervisors meeting on April 1.

• A banner was approved for the Monroe Animal League, SOS, Camp Papillon and Furry Friends event to be held at the West End Fairgrounds on May 3.

• Authorization was given for Albright to sign contracts for two phases of the Rosebay Road reconstruction project, with funds coming from a grant from the Monroe County Conservation District. Authorization was given to advertise for bids for the second phase of the project.

• Supervisors tabled the land development plans of Pleasant Valley Assembly of God.

• The repository release for Taylor Snyder, Gooseberry Lane, Sun Valley, was approved, as it is a stand-alone lot and the septic system is satisfactory.

• Keystone Consulting Engineers, representing the Barns at Shallow Creek, addressed the land development plan for the small-event venue on Gilbert Road. Requested waivers were given, including stormwater management. A time extension was granted until May 21.

• The March 18 supervisors meeting was canceled. The next meeting will be held on April 1.
