East Allen Township Board of Supervisors, at its regular meeting Jan. 26, confirmed a scheduled conditional use hearing and zoning amendment for an Age Qualified Community, proposed by Toll Brothers for vacant land along Route 512 near Jaindl Boulevard.

The details of the proposal have been before the board in prior meetings. The problems addressed in prior meetings include connecting water and sewer lines to Bethlehem Water Authority and the size of some of the proposed lots.

The Feb. 8 meeting is expected to be the final review of the plans and to establish conditions for the development.

Rock Lehigh Valley LLC has a hearing on its zoning request Feb. 23. The entity is affiliated with Rockefeller Group. The proposal envisions warehousing space along Weaversville Road in conjunction with development of former airport property along Willowbrook Road. Prior meetings were delayed at the behest of the developer.

Residents living close to the site are opposed to the development.

The board discussed a list of conditions for Griffin Industrial Realty’s proposed warehouse on Route 512 at the site of the closed MC Ironworks. Solicitor Joseph Piperato and township Engineer James Milot developed a list of conditions based on the hearing. The board will review the conditions and make modifications as necessary. The board has 60 days to notify the developer of its decision.

In other matters, the board adjusted the compensation for the township’s tax collector. The higher compensation accounts for tax certifications required when a property changes hands. The base salary remains the same.

The elected auditor position was reviewed and compensation adjusted down to adjust for the limited interaction the auditor has with the professional auditing team and the township staff.

Annual salary for supervisors remains at $1,875 annually. Supervisors can participate in the township’s benefit plan. Supervisors are covered, but family members are required to pay prevailing premiums.

Requests for zoning amendments will be scrutinized in the future. Township staff and the supervisors are setting new procedures.

“We have a lot of requests for zoning hearings, and we don’t have the time to schedule hearings for every request,” Chairman Roger Unangst said. “What we are trying to do is to set priorities on the requests.”

According to Piperato, anyone can submit a request, but that does not mean there will be a hearing. The general plan is the request will be reviewed by the supervisors at a public meeting. If there is board consensus to move forward with the request, a hearing will be scheduled. The person requesting the zoning change can be present at the first review meeting, but no presentation will be made until the hearing.
