“Our road foreman, Jack Blew, had reviewed the roads and he came in with a number of roads that really need work,” Holman said. Holman said this year’s road program is being prepared. Holman said the township has been receiving monetary donations for the electronic equipment from private individuals and companies. The township recently upgraded its reporting software and purchased a new computer. He said the loan’s interest rate was low, but supervisors’ action removes that cost. Holman said two annual payments have been made, with additional ones in the next two years. “We’ll pay it off and save a few hundred bucks.” “There is about $4,000 on the loan and we have enough money in our capital improvement fund to pay the loan rather than having to pay interest,” Holman said. In other business, the supervisors voted to pay off the loan obtained to purchase the new digital police radios using funds on-hand. Last month, we looked over the plans and sent them back to the planning commission for some corrections that led to the final approval.” “Mountain Valley submitted the preliminary plan, which was approved by the planning commission. “They had to go through the planning commission,” he said. Holman said the township learned about Mountain Valley’s plans a few months ago. Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act requires municipalities to develop and implement official plans in order to address sewage disposal with the intention of correcting existing problems and preventing future problems.Įach time a new development is proposed, a municipality is required by state law to revise the official plan through a process referred to as a “Sewage Facilities Planning Module.” “DEP always has to do those planning modules for the septic systems.” “It’s all on-lot sewage systems and wells,” Holman said. The decision was also contingent on approval of the sewage module by the state Department of Environmental Protection. “We did the final approval pending a $500 payment for costs.” “They’re subdividing about six lots around a couple of the holes on the golf course on Back Road and make them buildable lots for residential homes,” Holman said. Vice Chairman Clyde “Champ” Holman said the process has taken a few months to reach the subdivision approval. BARNESVILLE - The Ryan Township supervisors approved at their June 8 meeting a subdivision plan that will create lots for residential use from a portion of the Mountain Valley Golf Course land.
