I. Information and Discussion: Building and Development Committee attended the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors Meeting on July 7, 2003. John Tucker, Barbara Bliss and Kosta Dussias attended the meeting to get information on what the plans were for Golden Orchards Townhouse Development. John identified a flaw in the plans that included the sharing of a parking lot that has been cut to include parking on only the school’s side of the lot. Even though Mr. Dreibelbis is using his part of the parking lot for a drainage basin, he still expects that the school will honor shared parking, where his new townhouse tenets’ overflow parking will be to share the school’s parking. This cuts the area that the children may play and also where the buses can enter and exit. The plan went back to the planning committee so John will call

Terry Williams and make an appointment to discuss this issue.
