As Supervisor Tom Wehr was absent, Linda Gorgas took over to direct the Weisenberg supervisors’ April 9 meeting.

Of note is the change back to the original polling place for township voters.

The polling location will remain at Hope Community Church, contrary to what was stated at the board’s March meeting, as it was decided Weisenberg Fire Company would not have adequate parking available.

In other matters, Tony Werley noted New Enterprise was awarded the bids for road materials.

This included stone, cold patch and paving material. PATCO received the nod for supply of diesel fuel and gasoline.

Line painting was given to A-1 Traffic Control while AMS got the crack seal bid. The joint oil bid was also awarded.

Weisenberg Fields Park has a $26,900 escrow fund set aside by the contractor for work done at the park.

This money would be used to repair or correct any deficiencies at the soccer field at the park.

The contractor wants to draw on this fund. However, Solicitor Peter Lehr advised the board to wait one month before returning any money so that the condition of the park could be inspected.

The board decided to move forward with the agreement to stay with the intermunicipal planning agency.

Lynn, Heidelberg, Lowhill, Weisenberg and Washington townships are members along with the Borough of Slatington.

Tony Fiorello, Sparky’s Pet Salon, showed a plan to pave a driveway on his lot on Claussville Road.

He was asking for a waiver on the setback of the paving due to the small size of the lot.

The required setback under the ordinance is 10 feet. His driveway would get as close as 3 feet to the property line.

As he has received a letter from his neighbor stating he, the neighbor, had no objection to the placement of the driveway, the board granted the waiver.
