The West Marlborough supervisors are considering enacting a fireworks ordinance, following a request earlier this year from a man who wants to host a fireworks display at his daughter's September wedding at the Stone Barn on Upland Road.
Supervisors' Chairman Bill Wylie said at the township June 4 meeting that having an ordinance in place "would give us a little bit more control" when such requests are made. The board agreed to have township solicitor Dwight Yoder draft an ordinance, which could be enacted as early as July.
In other business at the monthly meeting, Lt. Richard H. D'Ambrosio, station commander of the Avondale state police barracks, reported that his troopers had been called to only 38 incidents in West Marlborough in the past 3 months, including 8 car accidents, 3 thefts from vehicles, 5 reports of debris on the road, 2 false alarms and 1 suspicious person; no burglaries or incidents of criminal mischief.
He said West Marlborough has "probably the lowest" number of calls of any township covered by his troopers. He urged residents to keep an eye out for their neighbors and to keep their cars locked: apparently so many people leave cars unlocked that thieves will just move on to the next driveway if they encounter a troublesome locked car.
Roadmaster Hugh Lofting said the township road crew has been busy mowing roadbanks and oil-and-chipping roads.
Township zoning officer Al Giannantonio reported that two zoning permits were approved in May: an addition to a hay shed at Dixon Stroud's farm on East Doe Run Road, and an addition to the Irelands' historic house on Springdell Road. The Irelands also were issued a building permit for their renovation project.
Also, Josh Taylor, who was promoted to the Board of Supervisors in May, agreed to do double duty and remain as head of the township planning commission as well until the supervisors appoint a new member to the commission.
