DOES THE BOD GET ALONG.........
MAYBE THEY ARE FIGHTING BETWEEN THEMSELFS....
I AGREE THAT NOT MUCH IS BEING DONE TO IMPROVE LA AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RUN LIKE ANY OTHER SMALL TOWN. WE NEED COMMITIES TO TAKE ON PROJECTS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE DONE RIGHT AND COST EFFECTIVE.
I DONT THINK GARY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BETWEEN THE LADIES IN THE OFFICE AND THE MEN IN THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT THEY ALL KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, SOMEONE JUST NEEDS TO PUT IN CHARGE AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS..
LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE WHOLE 12" TRAILER THING GOING ON.........

I'll give what info I have on the 12' wide situation. All other communities have approval to have them except LA. They are built better structurally and with better insulation so less money to heat and cool and don't have tip outs so you won't have to worry about leaks. Almost six years ago LA went to the twsp to get approval to be able to have them on site but didn't have legal representation and were not prepared to present their case. Since then they hired an attorney(s) and presented a case to the twsp including witnesses regarding environmental impact, etc. The twsp replied with some requests to the ordinance LA didn't agree with and since then (last January) no one has persued the issue. Many are waiting to purchase new trailers but are reluctant to get another tipout when 12' wide are now the standard. It is my understanding that 12' wides are tenatively approved with some stipulations, lofts were one problem but LA already has documentation that HUD said lofts don't count as floor space so they can dispute that point. The new attorney, Tammy Lee Clause, is very well regarded in the community and is a good choice however without a manager to represent LA she doesn't have much to work with. I don't think we should expect the Office to take on all the tasks a manager should do unless they get promoted. The BOD is not around on a regular basis to interact the attorney in this case. There was supposedly a meeting in early Sept with the attorney to discuss the issue but no information appeared in the Sept board minutes and questions regarding the status have gone unanswered. Maybe if the Oct and Nov board minutes are published we will see some information. LA is a great place for family fun but as owners and trailers get older and older it will be difficult to attract a new generation if we look like a junkyard. I'm a senior citizen and I need to get a new trailer but if I'm going to spend $40,000+ I want a 12' wide. LA get $250 for every new trailer bought from Total Recreation, you would think that would be motivation enough to get this ordinance passed.
ReplyDeleteBelow is an excerpt of something I found on the Internet. A development company received approval to build 199 new homes across the street from LA having a much bigger impact on the environment than us getting approval for another 3 1/2 feet for above ground housing. LA has wasted so much time on this the township doesn't take us seriously anymore.
ReplyDeleteConditional okay for Rock Hill Estates land use - Some 2,000 new road trips seen daily for the area
DINGMAN — Developers of Rock Hill Estates, a proposed 199-lot subdivision on state Route 739, opposite Lake Adventure, were before the supervisors Tuesday seeking approval for the intended use of the former 400+ acre boy scout camp.
Rock Hill Estates was represented by Hawley attorney, Leatrice Anderson and Director of Engineering, Kristy Coulter of Baucher & James, Inc. of Stroudsburg.
In question was whether a traffic study was conducted in order to determine the number of trips expected per day. Other concerns were whether community facilities and amenities, a school bus shelter, sewage treatment, a maintenance facility, beach and boating area as well as the proposed security guard house would meet township requirements.
“This public hearing is not about approval of any final plans but rather approval of the intended use of the land as a subdivision,” said Town Solicitor John Klemeyer.
“Our independent traffic study firm has determined that there will be an expected 1,967 vehicle trips per day,” said Coulter. The study is currently being reviewed by Penn DOT (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation).
Anderson posed some generic questions to Coulter to help frame details of the proposed facilities to be built in the subdivision. Coulter indicated on a map of the subdivision the location of the facilities and indicated they all would be constructed in accordance with township building construction ordinances.
