From Mar 2005 to Jun 2008, the Planning Commission worked jointly with the Board of Supervisors with the assistance of the Township Engineer (RETTEW Assoc.) on an update of the township's Comprehensive Plan. The draft plan was given preliminary approval by the Comprehensive Plan Committee on June 30, 2008. The Board of Supervisors gave it preliminary approval on Jul 9, 2008. The Plan has been sent to the County Planning Commission and all adjoining municipalities for a 45 day comment period. Meetings to receive public comment on the proposed plan will be held by first the Planning Commission and then the Board of Supervisors. These will likely be in October or November of 2008.
The August 2008 Draft Comprehensive Plan may be seen by clicking on the links in the table below. A paper copy may be reviewed in the township office.
THIS IS A DRAFT PLAN AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT.
The document is 188 pages long. With high resolution maps, the filesize is over 34MB!(a lengthy download). A version with slightly lower resolution maps is only 6MB long. The Future Land Use Map and individual chapters are available separately. Chapter 8 Future Land Use Plan will probably be of greatest interest.
A public meeting to seek community input on the Comprehensive Plan was held June 12, 2007 at 6:30pm at the Elementary School. The community input is summarized in Appendix 1 Public Outreach Initiative
