MANAGER REPORT
Ms. Howley reported Mr. Allen will not be in attendance but the road crew are continuing to
mow banks. Micro surfacing of roads were done last week and it went well. Rusty Drumheller
issued a cease and desist for land disturbance without a permit on the Orenshaw property, 32
Stirling Way, Chadds Ford, PA on Tuesday, July 6, 1999. Mr. Orenshaw was also advised he
cannot move dirt on his Hillendale Road property because of the existing injunction. The written
documents for the cease and desist will be mailed certified to Mr. Orenshaw on July 7th and the
properties posted.
Emergency Management - Reese Reynolds reported people are making left turns on Rt. 1 near
the Gables Restaurant going through the yellow barriers prohibiting this turn. One was observed
by a delivery truck coming out of the restaurant onto Rt. 1.
CLARK DRIVEWAY
Messrs. Clark and Bowersox were present to discuss the revised version of a proposed driveway
for Mr. Bowersox. The property is located off of Hickory Hill Road and Mr. Clark is the builder.
Comments have been received from Pennoni, township engineer on this project, regarding the
new version. After much discussion the Board advised Mr. Clark that our engineer should work
with their engineer to explore options for the driveway that would not have a slope greater than
20%.

With no further discussion the supervisors voted to oppose the application as submitted.
However, if the "Y" were to consider only a summer camp, they would like to see certain
