WEST MARLBOROUGH: Meeting by conference call

The West Marlborough supervisors held their monthly meeting on April 7 via conference call.
Secretary/treasurer Shirley Walton reported that the township had received a $500 check from Julia Altman of Greenmore Farm animal rescue on Clonmell-Upland Road to pay for her upcoming zoning hearing. She needs permission from the zoning board before she can use her new barn for storage, for whelping, and to house sick animals, but the April 6 hearing has been postponed indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic. Supervisor Bill Wylie said he hoped the zoning board would be able to meet electronically so the project could be expedited.
Road supervisor Hugh Lofting Jr. said on his list of road projects is repairing a large hole on Old Hilton Road that's temporarily covered by a metal plate.
Supervisor Hugh Lofting Sr. said he received a report from East Marlborough police chief Robert Clarke that the East Marlborough officers spent 12.5 hours patrolling West Marlborough in March and issued two warnings. West Marlborough residents made 19 calls to the county's 911 center in March.
Supervisor Jake Chalfin commented that with so many people at home, the number of "walkers, bikers, joggers and Sunday drivers" has greatly increased on the normally quiet road near his home. "It's weird to see how much more traffic is going down that road," he said.
