We hear that tonight's West Marlborough township meeting is going to be HOT in more ways than one. There's going to be further discussion of the proposed historical preservation changes to the zoning ordinance; this has proven to be a divisive issue that inexplicably has gotten absolutely no press. I mean, how often do you have members of an historical commission admitting, at a public meeting, that they are embarrassed to be associated with the committee? Yet that's just what Helen Martin and Nancy Truitt did last time.
They, and some citizens, believe the changes will diminish homeowners' property rights. But other members of the group, including architect Richard Buchanan, and at least two of the three township supervisors say the changes will strengthen the township defenses against developers and reduce PennDOT's ability to widen country roads. Mark Myers (retired Xerox executive, head of Chesco Historical Society board) is chairing the embattled group.
There are reasonable people on both sides of this one.
Also at the meeting there will probably be more on The Whip's ongoing, and ongoing, and ongoing parking problems. And possibly more on a mushroom grower's fascinating solar power proposal.
Bring a palm-leaf fan in case you or the person next to you swoons in the heat. 7 p.m.
