Residents threw a trifecta of complaints at Banks Township supervisors on Monday night.

They voiced their dissatisfaction about roads, trash and noise.

Joe Luchetta complained about his noisy neighbors.

Supervisor Chairman William Nice Jr. said in order to cite the noisemakers, the township would have to purchase a decibel meter.

Luchetta said the township should have its code enforcement officer crack down on the noise. Nice said the township does not have a full-time code enforcement officer who could answer calls at any hour.

“Then change the ordinance to what we need,” Luchetta said. “Double, triple the fine. We can’t enjoy our own properties.”

John Solt, the township’s solicitor, said enforcing noise ordinances is the job of law enforcement.

“Call the state police,” said Supervisor Rick Porpiglia. “I just called last week. Ninety-nine percent of the time they come over.”

Luchetta asked whether the township could get police protection.

“We tried,” Porpiglia said, “Beaver Meadows wanted $108,000 for 10 hours’ coverage. Weatherly wanted $394,000 a year. McAdoo and Kline Township are right here, next to us, and they said no.”

Tony Harvilla complained about trash near his home.

Nice said those responsible received a citation for failure to comply with removing the junk by the township code enforcement officer.

Tom Yesilonis also complained about trash near his home, which he said was covered up, but not removed. Nice said the supervisors will investigate.

Harvilla also complained about the condition of Hemlock Street, between Pine and Spruce streets. Nice said it will be repaired early next year.

Yesolonis, a resident of the Parkview section of Tresckow, said Parkview Drive “is going to hell.”

Supervisor Charles Schalles said the entrance to Parkview - which is really an alley - was paved this year, along with portions of Cherry, Fern, Chestnut and Maple streets.

Drew Sherkness asked if an alley behind Maple Street, near the Babe Ruth baseball field, is a township street. The alley is grass covered. Sherkness owns the former St. Batrholomew’s Church and eight acres behind it he wants to market.

The supervisors voted to advertise a new zoning map for the township. Nice said the supervisors are going to review the township’s fee schedule with an eye toward changing the fees.
