Wade King of Adams Road, Weisenberg Township has told supervisors he has a chicken problem.

Neighbors’ chickens are apparently wandering around on his property defecating in his yard, driveway and garage.

They are also digging up his flower beds.

Solicitor Donald Lipson suggested the township look into this type of situation.

He will report back at the board’s next meeting.

In other matters, supervisors set speed limits along two roadways at their June meeting.

A 30 mph limit was established on Windy Road from the Lowhill Township line to Wertman Road and a 35 mph speed limit was set for Boger Stadt Road from Claussville Road to Lyon Valley Road.

Dominic Sumpolec came to discuss the motocross track he has built on his property on Carpet Road.

Neighborhood complaints, concerning noise and dust over the past few months, were received by the township.

Township Administrator Brian Carl has conducted several noise tests at the site.

He found several spots where the noise was extremely loud.

The board noted if the noise were to be kept under allowable decibels, Sumpolec would be in compliance.

Sumpolec agreed to do an erosion and sedimentation plan for the property and is allowed to ride on the track if it does not violate the zoning ordinance.

Township residents are allowed to bring garbage, four bags twice a week, and recyclables to the Waste Management transfer station.

Non-residents, however, have been bringing in garbage and depositing it at the site.

Residents are reminded only household garbage is acceptable.

A means of identifying non-residents versus residents was discussed by the board.

The Davies Drive property, which has a history of sewage problems, has another one.

Sewage backup occurred in one of the homes when the tanks were not pumped out in a timely manner.

The township will look into future enforcement of pumping the system.

Ryan Reimert requested a waiver from the driveway paving requirements for his driveway along Stagecoach Road.

He opined the requirements would cause a problem when plowing snow, even though he would only have to pave the first 25 feet. The board denied the waiver request.

Fire Chief Brian Carl gave the fire company report.

There were 82 fire calls to date and two grants have been received for the fire company.

The first was in the amount of $13,106.29. This will be put toward the new generator recently installed at the fire station.

The second grant was an AIG grant for approximately $24,000 which will be used to purchase protective equipment.

Carl noted the Route 863 bridge should be finished by June 21 allowing a more direct route to responses.

He asked the board’s permission to build a structure at the old dump site on Blacksmith Road which would be used for training exercises by the fire company.

The board thought this was a good idea and granted the request.

Roadmaster Tony Werley had the crew busy mowing and helping neighboring townships and is preparing to oil and chip some roads.

He asked the board to transfer $100,000 to the road account to take advantage of the low prices of oil and blacktop.

With the low cost of materials, Werley expects to oil and chip and pave more roads than were originally planned.

The recent recycling event resulted in a full truck of electronic recyclables.

Carl had several items on his list for the board.

The Workmen’s Comp policy must be renewed by July. He brought along two quotes for supervisors.

The lower quote was for $23,192.24 per year by MRM Trust.

This is based on the township signing a four-year contract.

The board voted to go with this company.

The Lehigh County Association of Township Supervisors convention will be Aug. 5 at the Schnecksville Fire Company.
