EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - Reese Reynolds reported there was another accident on the "S" curve. He also stated that the County Emergency Management had contacted him with an update on the bad weather we had this past weekend.

CHADDS PEAK

Mr. Riper was present to discuss with the Board their position they may take for the upcoming Zoning Hearing Board meeting. Mr. Riper represents Mr. Geewax, prospective buyer of the property. Mr. Riper stated that in order to get tax consideration for the easement, it must not be tied to the upcoming hearing. The Board has the following concerns

• Parking - number of spaces proposed should be reduced
• Property "use" definition should be very specific
• B&B - cannot expand building but OK for public use along with clients of Mr. Geewax
• 3 car garage - use only for garage purposes - no living quarters
• Business should not be leased out
• Width of right of way - 50 ft. - cartway 18' - doesn't have to be paved
• Decision is contingent on sale to Mr. Geewax only
• Signage - what is allowed by law in this district

There will be an executive session with the Supervisors and Mr. Patten at 4 P.M. on Jan. 7^th to further discuss this subject before the hearing takes place.

OLD BUSINESS - The Board agreed to a 3% wage increase for Mr. Allen effective immediately.

A bill list numbering 862-889, State Fund #112 was submitted and approved for payment by the Board. With no further business the meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M.

Respectfully submitted:
