1 MR. KERRICK: Call the meeting to
2 order with a pledge of allegiance.
3 (Pledge of allegiance was recited.)
4 MR. KERRICK: First order of
5 business, I'd like to recognize Boy Scout Troop
6 No. 94 sponsored by the Tobyhanna Township
7 Volunteer Fire Company, Scoutmaster Dan
8 Planner (phonetic). We have some gentlemen here
9 this evening working on their citizenship in the
10 community badge, but I do not have your names so
11 could you give us your names?
12 MR. ANDREW CASTILIA: I am Andrew
13 Castilia. This is Alex Coalfield and this is
14 Eric Coulter. We're here working on our merit
15 badge, as you said. And our scoutmaster isn't
16 here as of right now so my mother is here in his
17 place.
18 MR. KERRICK: Hi. We'd like to
19 welcome you here this evening.
20 First order of business, consider
21 the minutes of December 11, 2006, regular
22 business meeting; December 18, 2006, special
23 meeting; December 21, 2006, special meeting;

13 MR. PETER TOTA: Peter Tota,
14 T-o-t-a. Page 37 Line 16, is that a typo where

17 MR. KERRICK: I don't have my
18 minutes in front of me, sir.
19 MR. PETER TOTA: Okay. I know it
20 was supposed to be paying, p-a-y, and it's got

7 office.
8 MR. PETER TOTA: This is supposed to
9 be paying and you've got paving. I don't know
10 if this was a typo. I'll get another copy.
11 MR. KERRICK: No, that's all right.
12 That's on Page 42?
13 MR. KAPELSOHN: 47, Line 16.

3 Next on our agenda, solicitor's
4 report.
5 MR. KAPELSOHN: I would just note,
6 although I'm sure the supervisors are all aware
7 of it, that Matzel Development has appealed the
8 decision of the Pennsylvania Gaming Commission
9 to award the license other than to them. And I
10 think you're aware of that. That's all I have
11 at this time.
12 MR. KERRICK: Thank you.
13 Next under new business, zoning
14 hearing board appointment.
15 MR. LAMBERTON: I'd like to nominate
16 Edward F. Burns, Jr. for the opening on the

15 MR. EDWARD BURNS: Since I'm the one

17 much and just say that I will use all of the
18 experience that I've had over my years in
19 government to make Tobyhanna Township a better
20 place to live and work.
21 MR. KERRICK: Thank you. You're
22 welcome.
23 Next on our agenda, 2007 main lodge
24 rental rates.
25 What's the board's pleasure? Would
8
1 you like me to move on and come back to --
2 MS. PICKARD: I'll make a motion
3 that we approve the 2007 rates for the rental
4 fee of the main lodge to remain at $225 for a
5 weekend day of Friday, Saturday and Sunday --
6 one day, either Friday Saturday or Sunday, with
7 the deposit of $100. And the weekday rental,
8 Monday through Thursday, to remain the same at
9 $50 per day. And accordingly the nonprofit
10 rental is to remain at 112.50 and I would assume
11 that means for a weekend day and the employee
12 rate to be the same at 112.50.
13 MR. KERRICK: Motion on the floor.
14 MR. LAMBERTON: I'll second the
15 motion.
16 MR. KERRICK: Motion and second.
17 Any discussion or comments from the
18 board?
19 MR. BERRY: I have one question.
20 Nonprofit is 50 percent and weekday is $25; is
21 that correct?
22 MR. KERRICK: The nonprofit is
23 50 percent weekday or weekend.
24 MS. PICKARD: Well, I'll amend my
25 motion to include that fee, 50 percent of the
9
1 weekday, I would say.
2 MR. KERRICK: Do you amend your
3 second?
4 MR. LAMBERTON: I'll amend my
5 second.
6 MR. KERRICK: Any questions or
7 comments from the public on the motion?
8 Call the vote.
9 Jon.
10 MR. BERRY: I vote in favor.
11 MR. KERRICK: Anne?
12 MS. SINCAVAGE: Vote in favor.
13 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
14 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
15 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
16 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
17 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
18 Motion carried.
19 Next on the agenda is Joseph
20 Mastantuono, veteran, Item C in your agenda.
21 This is a request for forgiveness of taxes.
22 It's for a veteran that was permanently disabled
23 in a conflict.
24 MS. PICKARD: I'll make the comment
25 that we can't forgive the county portion of the
10
1 township county bill.
2 MR. KERRICK: If you look on the
3 next page, it's talking about the --
4 MR. KAPELSOHN: He applied
5 separately.
6 MR. KERRICK: He applied separately
7 to each one of the school, the county and the
8 township.
9 MS. PICKARD: Okay.
10 MR. KERRICK: That's the letter from
11 the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
12 MR. LAMBERTON: He refers to the
13 certification of March 13, 2006.
14 Are we going to allow this to occur
15 in the year 2006 and 2007?
16 MS. PICKARD: That is what the
17 request is for.
18 MR. KAPELSOHN: It says -- the
19 letter from the director of the veterans program
20 says: If the application is a new claim, the
21 qualified applicant shall be exempt from real
22 property taxes that become due on or after
23 March 13 of '06.
24 So I would think it would apply to
25 2007 as well.
11
1 MR. KERRICK: That's a new
2 application, correct?
3 MR. KAPELSOHN: Mm-hmm.
4 MR. KERRICK: What's the board's
5 pleasure?
6 MR. KAPELSOHN: Are any taxes due
7 between now and the next meeting?
8 MS. PICKARD: If he didn't pay for
9 2006, they would have gone to the county.
10 MR. KAPELSOHN: I have to say I'm
11 not familiar with the tax exemption for disabled
12 veterans law, but I'm certainly capable of
13 looking it up; I just can't do it before the end
14 of tonight's meeting. But based on this
15 information, I'm sure the answer is easy to
16 find, if you would table it for next month so
17 that we're sure we're doing the right thing.
18 MR. KERRICK: If everybody's in
19 agreement, can we have a motion to table it?
20 MR. LAMBERTON: I'll make a motion
21 to table it.
22 MS. SINCAVAGE: I'll second it.
23 MR. KAPELSOHN: Can I have copies of
24 all that?
25 MR. KERRICK: Yeah, I'll give you a
12
1 copy.
2 Questions or comments from the
3 public on the motion?
4 Call the vote.
5 Jon?
6 MR. BERRY: I vote in favor.
7 MR. KERRICK: Anne?
8 MS. SINCAVAGE: Vote in favor.
9 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
10 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
11 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
12 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
13 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
14 Motion carried.
15 Next on our agenda, Pinecrest Phase
16 2, Section 3, bond reduction, Item D. There's a
17 letter in our packet dated January 17, 2007 from
18 our engineer to Woelfel Consulting. And they're
19 referencing a site review January 9, 2007.
20 Based upon site review and information provided
21 a bond reduction is recommended in the amount
22 from 165,823 to 47,503.50. And then it gives
23 the breakout one Page 1 and also on Page 2.
24 MS. SINCAVAGE: I make a motion
25 based on the information from the engineer that
13
1 we reduce the bond from $156,823 to $47,503.50.
2 MS. PICKARD: I'll second the
3 motion.
4 MR. KERRICK: Motion and second.
5 Any questions or comments from the
6 board?
7 MR. KAPELSOHN: Yes, I have a
8 question.
9 When Chairman Kerrick first
10 introduced this, did he say 156,000 or 165,000?
11 MS. SINCAVAGE: He said 156.
12 MR. KAPELSOHN: He did say 156?
13 Thank you.
14 MS. SINCAVAGE: So it's 156.
15 MR. KERRICK: But it was 156,823.
16 Any other questions or comments?
17 Questions from the public on the
18 motion?
19 Yes, ma'am?
20 MS. SABRINA CARACAPPA SIMS: Sabrina
21 Caracappa Sims, Blakeslee. If you don't mind, I
22 just wondered why would it drop so
23 substantially. Why is it such a big amount in
24 reduction?
25 MR. KAPELSOHN: Do you want me to
14
1 answer? This has to do with a bond that the
2 developer puts up to guarantee to the township
3 that certain public parts of the project, things
4 like roads and sewers and so forth, are
5 constructed properly.
6 And the reason the engineer
7 recommends that it be reduced at this time is
8 because they built some of it already. And so
9 the amount of the bond can be reduced because
10 they've already built that; we don't have to
11 have it guaranteed to us anymore. The remaining
12 $47,503 has to do with what the engineer
13 calculates is yet to be done.
14 MS. SABRINA CARACAPPA SIMS: Thank
15 you.
16 MR. KERRICK: Any questions or
17 comments?
18 Call the vote.
19 Jon?
20 MR. BERRY: I vote in favor.
21 MR. KERRICK: Anne?
22 MS. SINCAVAGE: Vote in favor.
23 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
24 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
25 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
15
1 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
2 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
3 Motion carried.
4 Next on our agenda is the Scott and
5 Cynthia Coombe storm water agreement.
6 MS. PICKARD: Make a motion we a
7 approve the storm water agreement with Scott and
8 Cynthia Coombe.
9 MR. KERRICK: We have a motion.
10 Do we have a second?
11 MS. SINCAVAGE: I'll second the
12 motion.
13 MR. KERRICK: Questions or comments
14 from the board?
15 Questions from the public on the
16 motion?
17 Call the vote.
18 Jon.

22 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
23 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
24 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
25 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
16
1 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
2 Motion carried.
3 Next on our agenda, Matzel
4 Development at Greenwood, LLC. It's the
5 developer's agreement.
6 Do you have any comments, Manny?
7 MR. KAPELSOHN: Yes. I looked at it
8 and made some revisions to the agreement, and
9 what they signed and presented and proposed to
10 the township is the agreement as I've reviewed
11 it; so I figured it was in suitable form.
12 MR. KERRICK: What's the board's
13 pleasure?
14 MR. BERRY: How do you want to
15 handle that outstanding -- should we mention
16 that in the motion?
17 MS. PICKARD: Well, I'd make a
18 motion that we approve the developer's
19 agreement, Matzel Development at Greenwood,
20 contingent upon verification that all have been
21 received.
22 MR. BERRY: I would second that.
23 MR. KERRICK: Motion and second on
24 the floor.
25 Questions or comments from the
17
1 board?
2 Questions from the public on the
3 motion?

13 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
14 Motion carried.
15 Next on our agenda, proposed
16 development SWC of State Route 940 and 380.
17 They're requesting a portion of the property's
18 zoning be changed and also the reduction in
19 parking -- requirement for parking spaces, all
20 sides of the parking spaces. Basically at this
21 stage we send this on recommendation to be
22 accepted to the planning commission.
23 MS. PICKARD: So moved.

25 send it to the planning commission.

17 advisory board appointment.
18 MR. LAMBERTON: I'm sorry?
19 MR. KERRICK: Open space advisory
20 board appointment is next on our agenda.
21 MR LAMBERTON: I wasn't listening.
22 MR. KERRICK: That's okay.
23 MS. SINCAVAGE: I make a motion we
24 appoint Dawn Gorham to serve on the open space
25 advisory board.
19
1 MR. KERRICK: I'm sorry, I didn't
2 get the last name.
3 MS. SINCAVAGE: Dawn Gorham,
4 G-o-r-h-a-m.
5 MR. KERRICK: Do we have a second?
6 MR. LAMBERTON: I'll second the
7 motion.

23 Next on our agenda, Open Space
24 Peer-to-Peer Technical Assistance Project
25 Contract Agreement. I guess we need a motion to
20
1 ratify it.
2 MS. SINCAVAGE: So moved.
3 MS. PICKARD: I'm going to make a
4 comment that includes the agreement and the
5 nondiscrimination clause as well, then I'll
6 second that motion.
7 MR. KERRICK: Any questions or

12 Jon?
13 MR. BERRY: I vote in favor.
14 MR. KERRICK: Anne?
15 MS. SINCAVAGE: Vote in favor.
16 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
17 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
18 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
19 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
20 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
21 Motion carried.
22 I have one other thing I'd like to
23 add to the agenda. In front of you we have a
24 letter from the Monroe County Control Center
25 dated December 12, '06 to Coolbaugh Township,
21
1 Tobyhanna Township and Tunkhannock, where last
2 year we were having some problems trying to
3 dispatch for requested medevac helicopter. They
4 couldn't fly due to weather. And there was one
5 stationed in Avoca, which was a different
6 county, A; and also different -- it's Life
7 Flight from Geisinger. So we designated that
8 the control center would be allowed to call.
9 Since then that's changed and it's all been
10 given to Medcom, which is -- I think they're in
11 charge of six counties and seventeen
12 helicopters.
13 Basically you call for a helicopter
14 and they get the closest one. So we need to
15 either rescind or amend the previous designation
16 and request -- just make it the closest
17 available licensed helicopter be routed to any
18 request within your municipality.
19 Do you want to review that?
20 MR. BERRY: So moved.
21 MS. PICKARD: Second.
22 MR. KERRICK: Any questions or
23 comments from the board or Manny?
24 MR. KAPELSOHN: Give me just a
25 moment, please.
22
1 MR. KERRICK: Any questions from the
2 public on the motion?
3 MR. KAPELSOHN: Looks okay to me.
4 MR. KERRICK: One more time, any
5 questions from the public?
6 Call the vote.
7 Jon?
8 MR. BERRY: I vote in favor.
9 MR. KERRICK: Anne?
10 MS. SINCAVAGE: Vote in favor.
11 MR. KERRICK: Hugh?
12 MR. LAMBERTON: Vote in favor.
13 MR. KERRICK: Heidi?
14 MS. PICKARD: I vote in favor.
15 MR. KERRICK: I vote in favor.
16 Motion carried.
17 So then you'll send a letter to the
18 control center?
19 MS. PICKARD: Okay.
20 MR. KERRICK: Okay. We could fill
21 that in tomorrow.
22 Does anyone from the board have
23 anything else?
24 Do you have anything?
25 You gentlemen have any questions for
23
1 us?
2 MR. KAPELSOHN: I should add one
3 thing -- probably I should have mentioned this
4 in my solicitor's report, but I forgot to. This
5 has been a decision of the Court of Common Pleas
6 of Monroe County in the case of Locust Lake
7 Village Property Owners Association versus
8 Monroe County Board of Assessor's Appeals,
9 Monroe County, Tobyhanna Township and Pocono
10 Mountain School District.
11 And as the supervisors know, I
12 believe the property owners' association at
13 Locust Lake had appealed -- they had a tax
14 appeal on file from 2004 forward, but they were
15 now trying to retroactively recover taxes from
16 before they filed the appeal, I guess, is the
17 easiest way to describe it, from 2004 back in
18 time.
19 And the court just came out with the
20 decision within the last few days denying their
21 request for summary judgment on their appeal,
22 finding in favor of the township and the school
23 board and the county.
24 MR. KERRICK: Thank you.
25 Do you have any anything else,
24
1 Manny?
2 MR. KAPELSOHN: No thanks.
3 MR. KERRICK: At this time open up
4 for public participation.
5 Mr. Tota.
6 MR. PETER TOTA: Pete Tota. I'm
7 just going to read this, John -- Mr. Kerrick.
8 MR. KERRICK: Sure.
9 MR. PETER TOTA: I'd asked questions
10 last month as to whether there was any
11 engineering done by way of environmental study.
12 The answer by Mr. Kerrick was some.
13 Is there any documentation proving
14 that the engineering or environmental study was
15 performed? In other words, was there any
16 blueprints or any -- that the contractors going
17 around off of blueprints or is he doing it on
18 his own?
19 MR. KERRICK: Go ahead with your
20 letter. I'm not going to answer this question.
21 MR. PETER TOTA: Oh, okay. I'm
22 concerned about the safety of the roads in Lake
23 Naomi in the way that the township has been made
24 very unsafe. The trenches are too deep; that if
25 a car was to fall into it, that could cause
25
1 bodily harm.
2 I do not see the need for such deep
3 trenches. I have recommended or suggested guard
4 rails or boulders be placed to protect the car
5 so it would not fall into the trenches.
6 In addition, I am wondering about
7 all the salt that is going into the lake by
8 these trenches. It would seem that year after
9 year putting salt directly into the lake without
10 any -- without polluting the lake. An
11 environmental study and a safety study by a
12 qualified outfit should have made some
13 recommendations on the safest and best way to
14 filter and keep the lake clean.
15 In addition, the township has not
16 even maintained the existing trenches that are
17 already in place. They are filling up with
18 leaves and branches; therefore this is not a bad
19 idea. It can save the township the cost of
20 buying a vacuum truck, then all of the Lake
21 Naomi residents that put leaves in it, this will
22 filter the salt from going into the lake and
23 would act like a cushion to soften the impact of
24 a car or a bike falling into the trench.
25 Another suggestion is to place eight
26
1 inches of stone in the existing trench, then
2 place a perforated pipe on top of the stone,
3 then fill the trench up with stones to about
4 18 inches below the road elevation. This will
5 reduce the swale in the French drain.
6 In addition, the water would have to
7 build up to eight inches and then go into the
8 pipe. If it does not, the water can lie there,
9 seek its way back into the ground and not
10 pollute the lake.
11 I've worked many time and material
12 jobs where they pay you and pay you and pay you,
13 et cetera. However, I have never done work that
14 would put people's lives or the environment in
15 danger. I just do not want anything to happen
16 that would hurt or kill anyone or ultimately see
17 our lake contaminated.
18 So to the township committee, if any
19 of this happens, I just do not want to read in
20 the headlines in the Pocono Record see, I told
21 you so. I am prepared to go out in the township
22 and voice my concerns to a higher government
23 office, even if I have to go all the way to the
24 governor's office.
25 I just want the township to get some
27
1 professional surveys and environmental impact
2 studies done, let the professionals tell us how
3 to keep Lake Naomi safe and beautiful.
