At last night\u2019s Snyder Township Board of Supervisors meeting, the supervisors approved the land development proposed by Pyramid Healthcare at the Greentree Village location.
\nThe Greentree Village expansion plans originally didn\u2019t conform to Snyder Township Ordinance with regard to parking, but the plans approved by the Blair County Planning Commission on October 31, 2002 complied.
\n\u201cThey had submitted a couple of different plans already,\u201d said Snyder Township Supervisor Jim Daughenbaugh. \u201cOur engineer kept coming up with things that they hadn\u2019t done. Last night, they complied with everything in our ordinance and our solicitor (Allen Gibboney) told me we have to approve it last night even though the people didn\u2019t want us to. We had to do it. There was a time limit on that. If you don\u2019t either deny or act on it within 90 days, it is automatically approved. We approved it last night.\u201d
\n\u201cWe are pleased that our land development plan was finally approved by the Snyder Township Supervisors at last night\u2019s meeting,\u201d said Andrea Shope, director of communications for Pyramid Healthcare. \u201cApproval of this plan is another step forward in the development of a four-classroom building at the Greentree Village site. The classroom building will improve the resources for the Tyrone Area School District and other surrounding schools, which benefit from alternative education programs for some of their students. We will follow-through with all state and local design and permitting requirements and plan to move forward with construction in the very near future.
\nPyramid also requested an extension with Labor and Industry and that hearing will take place December 17 in Harrisburg.
\n\u201cUntil the school building is completed, we are utilizing another building on the grounds as classroom space,\u201d said Shope. \u201cBecause of the delays in approval of our building plans by Snyder Township, we have approached the Department of Labor for an extension which will allow us to continue to use of this temporary school building.\u201d
\nThe township also voted to approve Resolution 2002-34 to pay from CDBG money for the California Hollow Sewer Project in which they paid Robert and Carole Parks #3,000 to purchase land for the pump station, and one dollar each to the Parks, Robert and Kim Parks, Morris and Troy Reese and Howard and Bettye Walk for right away use on their land.
\nThe supervisors also voted to pay Scott Cowfer $7,953.20 for work done as part of the HOME Project Fund.
\nDaughenbaugh told those in attendance that the fire protection negations with Tyrone Borough are stalled.
\n\u201cThe big thing is they (Tyrone Borough) come out here and tell us what we\u2019re going to pay them without negotiating,\u201d Daughenbaugh told The Daily Herald following the meeting. \u201cYou know we don\u2019t have to pay them anything really. We\u2019re ready to talk, but they don\u2019t seem to want to come out and talk. They just keep sending letters out here saying what they want. They did send a woman (Phyllis Garhart) and she didn\u2019t know anything about it. The last letter she sent out said that we have to pay their workmen\u2019s compensation (for Tyrone fire support). I don\u2019t know where they are getting that, I am looking into it again today. That is the only problem that I can see. We won\u2019t let anyone without fire protection. Really, we don\u2019t do it anyway because we have our own fire company and it is supposed to be the primary fire company for Snyder Township.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
