Towamensing gets clarity on Lakeview Estates

The president of the Lakeview Estates Property Owners Association cleared up some confusion at Thursday’s Towamensing Township supervisors meeting.

Bobby Chevalier addressed the supervisors about a different entity - the Lakeview Estates Homeowners Association.

Chevalier requested that it be entered into the record that the Lakeview Estates Property Owners Association has three private roads and wants to ensure that they meet township guidelines for snow removal so that trash trucks can come into the roads.

Chevalier also said that Franklin Township will be meeting with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, state police and other organizations to discuss overcrowding and parking at Beltzville State Park.

Lakeview Estates Property Owners Association is just off Pohopoco Drive by the state park.

In other business, James and Paulette Percey requested a reverse subdivision waiver for a three-lot property on Stagecoach Road. The board approved deleting two-lot lines and approved a drawings waiver for the property.

An additional 60-day extension, starting Feb. 16 and ending April 17, was approved for the Crown PA Builders in Lakewood Estates.

In old business, a letter went out on Thursday regarding a complaint of use for the property at 2415 Stagecoach Road, giving the owners 30 days to sign for the letter.

New business included passing a motion for Solicitor Thomas Nanovic to prepare a draft of garbage bids. There have been two bids so far, Waste Management and Mascaro, and the current contract runs out in April.

Supervisor Guy Seifert then made a motion, which passed, to formally investigate the feasibility of a transfer station in the township, operated by the township.

Donald Bonett, president of the Historical Commission, said that a letter was sent to the community in an attempt to save the Greenweig one room schoolhouse on Church Road. So far $3,000 has been donated. He requested additional time to try to raise funds to save the school house. The board was reluctant with Seifert saying they intentionally let the grass grow around the schoolhouse to see if the community responded but no one did. After some discussion, the board did approve a 90-day extension to raise funds to preserve the school house.

The fire company had 7 calls for the month. It was also noted that they have reached out to five contractors for renovations of the restroom facilities and are awaiting bids.

The next supervisors meeting is at 7 p.m. March 2 at 120 Stable Rd.
