There was standing room only as more than 100 people packed the room Monday evening for the North Whitehall supervisors meeting.

Most were in attendance to learn about the proposed adult community slated for construction at the recently sold Strawberry Acres site.

Strawberry Acres was a pick-your-own fruit farm along Clearview Road near Laurys Station, west of MacArthur Road.

The audience was disappointed though, as the applicants submitted a request for a waiver on the time limits in order to revise the plan and return to the planning commission and supervisors.

The adult community developer is requesting substantial zoning and subdivision relief, and plans to attend the July planning commission meeting with a proposed appearance at the Aug. 5 supervisors' meeting.

Members of the audience had several questions for the board, but some queries could not be addressed due to the nature of the subject.

Supervisors granted the extension waiver.

In other business, a minor subdivision was placed before the board. The plan was represented by surveyor William Beitler and Mr. and Mrs. Hoonani Cuadrado.

Two waivers were requested. The first was for a waiver on widening Grist Mill Road. The second was to proceed as a preliminary/final plan.

Both were granted and the plan was approved contingent upon satisfaction of staff comments, planning commission comments and posting of required fees.

Previously opened bids for the repair of Golf Course Road bridge were discussed.

Township Manager Jeff Bartlett told the board the costs, and the low bidder was awarded the contract.

Grace Industries Inc. was awarded the contract at a bid price of $23,205.

Two properties whose street light assessments were not paid were given exonerations. The lots are located at 4615 Route 309 and 2830 Vista Drive.

Bartlett gave an update on the Route 309 project. He said Orchard Drive is open and will remain open except for minor items.

Sand Spring Road will be closed when school ends for the summer and will remain closed for about six weeks.

Concerns were voiced about access for emergency vehicles but the contractor assured the township there would be access if needed.

The township has several camps scheduled for the summer, including sports and computer camps.

Residents are urged to sign up their children for these activities.

Bartlett said there are several code enforcement issues in the township currently. These include weeds, junk cars, buildings, etc.

People can not expect instant solutions to these problems as enforcement must proceed in certain steps.

Kathy Smoll pleaded with the board to do something about the speeding on Coplay Creek Road.

She wants the speed limit lowered or to have more enforcement by state police.

Smoll said speeders are a danger to her and her neighbors and she cited previous accidents.

Supervisors were sympathetic to her dilemma but could not do much to help her as it is a state road.

Phone book recycling has started. Old phone books may be dropped in a dumpster in front of the municipal building until Aug. 16.

Boy Scout Troop 57 is collecting old, tattered, worn out American flags for disposal.

They will dispose of them properly in a retirement ceremony.

A special box is located in the municipal lobby where residents can place their flags.
