Yesterday, Snyder Township solicitor Allen Gibboney explained the details of the tentative deal worked out between Kunzler & Company, Inc., and the township so the bacon manufacturer\u2019s 22,000 square foot expansion project can continue as planned.
\nGibboney explained that after a special meeting held February 19, township engineers met with engineers from Kunzler\u2019s to work out an agreement.
\nA draft was written which indicates that Kunzler\u2019s will be able to go ahead with the construction and completion of the two additions on the assumption that the base flood elevation is approved by FEMA.
\nIf it turns out the base flood elevation plan is not approved by FEMA, Kunzler\u2019s would then have 90 days to take action to fix the problems.
\nKunzler\u2019s would then notify the township supervisors, and the township engineers would inspect the building additions again.
\nBased on this agreement, Kunzler\u2019s will have a conditional occupancy permit.
\nIf FEMA accepts or denies the base flood elevation plans, Kunzler\u2019s will take additional action to flood proof the building. By September 1, 2004, a final inspection will occur, and then a final occupancy permit will be issued.
\nThe agreement came after much discussion between Kunzler\u2019s and the township.
\nAt the Feb. 19 special meeting, Gibboney said four issues needed to be addressed, including: the township\u2019s approval of Kunzler\u2019s map revision request; storm water management approval; land development ordinance status; and a building permit to be issued by the township.
\nThe first step at resolving the issue was that Bill Gohn of the EADS Group, and township engineer, issued a letter to supervisors at the Feb. 19 special meeting that endorsed the approval of the map-revision request.
\nMotioned by supervisor Jim Chronister and seconded by chairman Charlie Diehl, Resolution 2004-8 to sign the overview and concurrence form from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Kunzler\u2019s was therefore adopted by supervisors.
\nThe issues of storm water management approval, land development ordinance status and a building permit were addressed at the meeting held yesterday.
\nVice president and plant general manager of Kunzler\u2019s, Dave Grazier is hoping the 6.5 million dollar building expansion project can be completed by May and that it will be opened at the end of May.
\nThe project will create 25-50 new jobs for the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
