VISITORS
Calvin and Lauren Lydic Sketch Plan - presented a sketch plan for the 
subdivision of a 38-acre parcel owned by Calvin and his brother Lauren.  Each 
brother will get a 19-acre parcel, each has approximately 800 ft. of frontage on 
Clair Wright Road.  Calvin resides at 8184 Clair Wright and Lauren resides at 
8138 Clair Wright.  There is a septic system in place at 8184, septic in existence 
on 8138 has been approved for a repair permit.  A sand mound system will be 
installed.  Mr. Lydic said that existing buildings are 250 ft. from the side lot line.

Pontore moved to recommend approval of the Lydic sketch plan as presented.  
Szymanowicz seconded.  Carried.

Enterline/Rickard Mylar - Mr. Enterline is purchasing the rear portion of Martha 
Richard's property at 9684 Rt. 98.  Parcel is 34.35 acres.  The remaining acreage 
on the Rickard property will be approximately 10 acres.  Parcel will be added to 
Mr. Enterline's existing property at 9784 Rt. 98.  There will be no frontage on 
Route 98.

Pontore moved to accept the Enterline/Rickard Mylar as presented.  Crandall 
seconded.  Carried.  Mylar was signed.

Cell Tower Ordinance - Szymanowicz said that he would recommend to the 
Supervisors that they consider adopting a cell tower ordinance.  He is concerned 
about the possibility that towers will interfere with local airports, both private and 
public.  He suggested limiting them to I-1 zones.  Discussion.

Bernhardt Sketch Plan - the Supervisors granted a frontage variance to David 
Bernhardt, 10709 Eureka Road, several years ago.  Mr. Bernhardt plans to 
subdivide a parcel at 10721 Eureka Road for his daughter and son-in-law that 
would have 180 ft. of frontage.  The proposed parcel has an existing structure, 
well and septic system on it.  Those present saw no problem with the plan since 
a variance was granted by the Board of Supervisors and because the mobile 
home has existed on the property for so many years.   Plans are to erect a house 
and remove the mobile home.

ADJOURN
Pontore moved to adjourn, Szymanowicz seconded.  Meeting adjourned at 2048 
hours.
