October Woodlands/Wetlands Preservation Ordinance Passed By Township
Image via Wikipedia
At last nights township Board of Directors meeting the Woodlands/Wetlands Preservation Ordinance was passed. With opposition only coming from Greenfield and Heim who are creating a development and Township Supervisor Bryan McDonaugh, the other two Supervisors, Janet Grashof and Bob Bock both voted to pass the Woodlands/Wetlands Preservation ordinance. The ordinance will slightly raise the regulations on developers but leave the individual homeowner alone. However, Heim/Greenfield were dismayed they may be required to leave a few trees and plan to protect the waterways by the ordinance.
Heim/Greenfield plan a country club, spa, 18 hole golf course and 300 homes by combining their acreage of the 283 acre Heim Farm on Devereux Road and the 312 acre tract owned by Greenfield on Marshall Road. You can view a PDF version of the development plans by clicking the link below.

Many residents spoke out for preservation of the canopy of trees as we lose more land here to development. Issues including climate change and loss of property value which comes from over-development.
At the end of the meeting a letter was read by Wallace resident, Cathy Poole, truly thanking Supervisor Janet Grashof for coming to our August 25th turnpike meeting and she explained to the group about the difficulties of being “neighbors” with the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
