EAST MARLBOROUGH: School sports field expansion

On April 28 the East Marlborough Township planning commission is scheduled to discuss the proposed "outdoor facility enhancements" at the UHS/Patton Middle School complex, to include the installation of "a multi-use synthetic turf field, a varsity softball field, a middle school baseball field, associated utility structures, paths, and an 81-space parking lot along East Doe Run Road." 
I know a lot of people are concerned with how this project will affect the big old barn on Doe Run Road across from St. Michael's Lutheran Church. 
I stopped by to check it out this afternoon and, I have to say, it would need a lot of repair (= a lot of taxpayers' dollars) to make it usable in any way. It has a stone base with barnwood siding. There's a dilapidated shed out back. Here are some photos I snapped so you can judge its condition for yourself.

If you want to hear the discussion, the meeting will start at 7 p.m. This is the time to make your opinion known, when it's still in the discussion stages before the PC, rather than waiting until the project is up for a vote by the supervisors.
