Ask Mike:
Michael Mrozinski, Director of Planning and Development
Q. If a new business or development project is planned near my home, what is the process for receiving information and can I contact you for updates?
A. We encourage interested folks to monitor our website for specific matters coming before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. If there is enough time, we send out letters to nearby property owners as a courtesy, but you can always contact me for information prior to any public notice, especially as development projects appear to have no activity for several months at a time. There is usually a minimum of four public hearings for a development project.
Q. We live on Palomino Drive and the same homes do not shovel snow from their sidewalks. The streets aren't safe for me walking my kids to school. What can be done?
A. Ideally, folks in the community should recognize the needs and safety of others. Our township ordinance states that property owners have twelve hours from the end of the snow storm to clear a 30" wide path along the sidewalk. Code enforcement will then contact the violators with a door hanger. We then monitor for compliance. Contact Rick Lesniak, Code Enforcement Director at 215-997-7501 or contact me if you have continuing problems. Applicable fines can be up to $1000.
Q. Are there new houses going in behind Bluestone Woods, near County Line and Kansas Roads?
A. What you see is the wetland mitigation project being done by PennDOT. Federal agencies such as EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers are requiring PennDOT to create wetlands since they are disturbing wetlands elsewhere as part of the Route 202 Parkway project. Warrington benefits with the increased naturalized reserved land, along with the educational opportunities. This improves our storm water management. The project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2010.
