Cheese legal

Richard Hayne's cheese-making operation in Springdell is now in compliance with township ordinances.
At their Feb. 7 meeting, the West Marlborough supervisors approved the conditional use for the creamery at his Doe Run Farm (which had been operating for more than a year without such permission), but only with lots of conditions. Some of them are as follows:
1. Mr. Hayne must abide by all the statements made by his representatives at the hearings.
2. Within 45 days he has to obtain building permits for the dairy barn (permits aren't needed for an agricultural use but they are for a commercial use) and pay the appropriate fees to the township.
3. Within 45 days he has to have an engineer state that emergency vehicles will be able to negotiate the driveway to the creamery off Hicks Road.
4. He can't erect any signs advertising the creamery.
5. He can't have any more than four employees per shift working in the creamery operation.
6. He has to maintain current state and federal licenses for his operations. 
7. He can't have a restaurant on the site.
8. Outdoor lights must be directed downward.
9. No tractor-trailers are allowed in the creamery area, only smaller delivery trucks.
Mr. Hayne's rep David Ziel told the board he agreed with the conditions but asked them to fine-tune the definition of the size of trucks permitted. The board agreed to reword the condition to allow box trucks "of the type used by" Federal Express or UPS so as not to limit the creamery to only those couriers.
Doe Run Farm has already been issued three building permits by the township this year: conversion of an attic into an office space; a pool and tennis court; and a machine shed/workshop.
And some more good news for Mr. Hayne: according to the Feb. 9 Philadelphia Business Journal, Urban Outfitters "said sales were up 9 percent to $731 million in the quarter that ended Jan. 31. But analysts were expecting more: on average, $741.94 million, according to Thomson Reuters. Urban stock was trading 0.59 percent higher this morning at $27.30."
