At the Oct. 22 East Allen Township Board of Supervisors workshop meeting, supervisors discussed a number of ordinances.

While discussing fire inspections and other building ordinances, township Manager Brent Green said if the township fire code was added to or changed, it may require state approval, a public hearing and may take three to six months to complete the process.

After much discussion, supervisor Chair Roger Unangst suggested Green and fire department leaders meet to review the township fire code to make recommendations for the board to consider before making a decision.

Green also noted the township’s driveway ordinance needs updating to address “little things.” Green said he will review the ordinance and report back to the supervisors.

The well ordinance also reportedly needs clarification, which Green said he will review and report back to the supervisors.

The supervisors approved the final payment application for the Bicentennial Park habitat restoration project in the amount of $63,261.

In 2025, the township approved the construction of a passive park area with wetland features, bridges and an overlook pier. The project was awarded to Cuz Excavating in the amount of $445,847.10. The contractor reportedly completed all outstanding items listed for completion and has provided the township with the required maintenance bond.

The supervisors entertained a recommendation and approved a change order for the Township Line Road reconstruction project, as part of the public improvements, in the amount of $168,497. The change order is to address more undercuts and poor subsoil.

The change order includes both Lower Nazareth and East Allen townships, and the cost will be shared by both municipalities.

Supervisors voted to grant an extension for the developer working on the improvement for the 6292 Hanoverville Road minor subdivision. The plan proposed the construction of a water main and road widening as part of the public improvements. The extension will run to Oct. 10, 2027.

Three residents were appointed as members of the Uniform Construction Code of Appeals board. Supervisors also appointed one alternate to the board.

Appointees must have experience on matters pertaining to building construction. Training and experience may consist of licensure as an architect or engineer, experience in the construction industry and training or experience as an inspector or plan reviewer.

Supervisors approved a payment application for the Jacksonville Park in the amount of $65,390.84. In 2025, supervisors voted to proceed with design of the redevelopment of the park, 6400 Jacksonville Road, due to the removal of the basketball court, which had an unsafe court surface.

Bids were opened in the spring, and the township awarded the bid to Grace Industries, who was the lowest qualified bidder, in the amount of $207,577.74.

To date, the construction of the Jacksonville Park basketball and pickleball courts and pathways have been completed. There are minor items yet to be completed. The change order was in the amount of $31,900.

Supervisors voted to accept three additional items related to the Moyer minor subdivision, which also includes Bath Borough. These include accepting the dedication of a conservation easement and a utility easement, renaming Monocacy Drive to Chestnut Street and, by resolution 2026-13, accepting the dedication of the right of way easements for the Moyer minor subdivision.
