East Allen

Continued from page 1

Hanover and East Allen Townships is mid-way through the development. While homes will be in the southwestern corner of the property in Hanover Township, their backyards will be in East

Allen Township. The northern portion of the property in East Allen Township consists mainly of detention ponds.

However, Atiyeh is asking for an emergency access road onto Hanoverville Road. The emergency access road would consist of 39 paved feet, then a gate prohibiting through traffic. The rest of the emergency road will be used with impervious pavers.

Atiyeh’s representatives at the meeting said their client does not know what he will be developing in East Allen Township yet but insinuated that the road could potentially become a public road in the future.

“Every day is an adventure,” one representative said of working with his client.

Supervisors approved the conditional final plan, deferring curbs and sidewalks for two years.

Supervisors also approved an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with Northampton Borough for Sanitary Sewer Treatment & Conveyance, as well as a separate agreement with Allen Township for Sanitary Sewer Conveyance. This will allow sewage to flow from the future Northampton Area School District building on Route 329.

Supervisors also approved the purchase of an asphalt paver and trailer with Moore Township. The township received a $266,573 state LSA grant, which was used to purchase the paver from Stevenson Equipment. The trailer was purchased from Hale Trailer. Moore Township will own the trailer, while both townships will own the paver. However, East Allen will be permitted to use the trailer for hauling. A formal maintenance agreement between the two municipalities is being drafted. The total cost after the grant was $16,708.
