Minutes
of the East Brandywine Historical Commission meeting on May 25, 2004
jrk
6/23/2004
John
Black, Chuck Giordano, Tom Jackson, Carl Josephson and John Kessler from the
Commission attended. (Note:
There was a quorum.)
John
Black was congratulated for his Commission membership approval by the Board of
Supervisors.
1.
Approval of the minutes of the last 3 meetings
They
were approved.
2.
Review of action items
Dr.
Vilcheck still 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. John
will remind him.
John
K. will forward Scott Piersol’s response to his e-mail concerning demolition
criteria in North Coventry’s ordinances. Also,
he will respond to Scott. Carl
agreed with John K.’s interpretation that East Brandywine’s ordinances allow
only a delay in demolition and not Scott’s that a denial of a demolition
permit must be appealed as any other Zoning Board ruling.
Katherine
Prammer still hasn’t sent the url for the Route 41 conservation effort.
3.
Approval of inspection reports
They
were approved.
4.
New meeting day
The
2nd Wednesday of every month was approved as the new meeting day for
the Commission; this will start in June.
5.
New business
Chuck
said that he thought the Pulte development was still under discussion.
[Note: Since the meeting the
EB Milemarker has come out indicating that the discussions appear to be
finished.]
Chuck
also noted that Wilkenson is going to sell the Hide-A-Way Farms development as
soon as it completes getting the approvals for it.
John
Black brought up Wawa commenting that perhaps Wawa could relocate Mama Lena’s
as the main part of the Wawa complex and not move it north beyond Cropper’s.
There wasn’t a consensus on how to proceed.
Finally, it was suggested that John talk to Scott about the alternative.
John
K. suggested we discuss the status of the deed searches we have done as part of
filling out the Survey Cards for EB’s Historic Resources at the next meeting.
It was agreed to put this on the next agenda.
Hindsight has shown that our plan to complete 40 Survey Cards by the
beginning of summer was unattainable as the County offices are not open on
weekends. Tom suggested expanding
the Commission with new members capable of doing research during normal work
hours.
