• The property owner would like not to have the restriction placed on the barn as set forth in the conditional use decision. However, the supervisors want to encourage property owners to not demolish structures but use an adaptive reuse of the structure.

Mr. Patten will review the covenant of restrictions and will confer with Mr. Shields regarding this information being included in the deed.

OLD/NEW BUSINESS

The township received a letter from Mr. Altmaier regarding the use of the entrance on Brintons Bridge Road to the McFadden property and the restaurant. He believes the decision by the Zoning Hearing Board is being violated. The Board reviewed the letter from Mr. Altmaier and the decision and concluded that the driveway off Brintons Bridge Road could be used as "one way in" only, no exit. The present sign on the driveway says "entrance only". Mr. Patten was instructed to write Mr. McFadden of this, remind him his time for using the Victorian property as an antique shop is running out and the existing driveway must be moved back on the lot as stated in the hearings as soon as the weather permits. A copy of this letter will be sent to Mr. Altmaier.

Brandywine River Antiques has applied for a Zoning Hearing Board hearing regarding signage for their business and parking of their truck on the ramp to the barn. Mr. Patten reported that he received a call from Mr. Good regarding clarification on zoning points in the ordinance. The owner has agreed to not park the truck on the ramp and one sign on the building at the entrance to the shop along with the sign on Rt. 1 is permitted. Mr. Patten said he would talk to Mr. Good about this and see if a settlement couldn't be reached without a hearing.

Rt. 926 Project Update - Mr. Anderson reported the following
