1. Approval of the minutes of the last 2 meetings

 

As there was not a quorum, this did not happen.

 

2. Review of action items

 

Dr. Vilcheck has not responded to my e-mail concerning the Survey Card letter that was to be discussed at the West Brandywine Historical Commission at their April 1st meeting.

 

The inspection reports for Keats Glen II and Hide A Way Farms was distributed at this meeting.

 

John has sent an e-mail to Scott Piersol and Mary Beth Smedley concerning the North Coventry demolition appeals process.

 

Katherine Prammer still hasn’t sent the URL for the Route 41 conservation effort.

 

John talked to Mary Beth about the requirement for a new commission member.  She said the Board of Supervisors would prefer one and would wait for our recommendation.  See below.

 

3.  Status of Pulte Homes

 

No news.

 

4.  Status of Wawa

 

No news but Wawa was discussed.  John Black suggested that a driveway be put between Mama Lena’s and the next house south on 322 where the sewer line was installed; it was noted that this is probably not wide enough.  John mentioned that he still hadn’t heard anything from the letter he sent to the Planning Commission on architectural coherence with the Guthriesville Historic District and proper buffering.

As there was not a quorum, no action was taken.

The second Wednesday of each month was discussed.  John took an action to e-mail the Commission members for input on this new day of the month.
