Here.

And Commissioner Hartley. Okay, so we have one, two, three, four, five, six members present. That's important. Yeah, that's important.

All right, well, I'd like to thank Gary for running last month's meeting. I could tell that it was quite a burdensome agenda, so I just pretended to bug out. I'd like to thank Gary for picking up all that heavy weight. All right, folks, let's have a... Thank you, Josh.

They were very complimentary to me for doing that, so thank you.

Yeah, I think you're probably better than I am, Gary, but don't rub salt in them, okay? So... Minutes have people have a chance to read the minutes from last year, last month's meeting. If you have any questions, discussion, any corrections, now's the time to say it. Bob Spandler, a motion to approve the minutes. Thank you, Bob. We have a second.

Lisa Schaefer second.

Thank you, Lisa. Okay. No further discussion. All those in favor.

Aye. Aye.

Anyone opposed? Passes. Meeting minutes are approved. Thank you. Treasurer's report.

There's nothing really outstanding to note. The amount, again, this month is, as in the report, $2,816.37. This represents the fees that we received. for the applications. As we know, the money goes to the Dauphin County Planning Commission, but then it's transferred to Tri-County as the accounting agency for running the operation.

Okay, so thank you, Jerry. We need a motion to approve the actions of the transfer. Do we have a motion to approve?

Motion. Chris.

Chris. Thank you, Chris. We have a second.

Brian Pomeroy will second.

Thank you, Brian. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Motion passes. Thank you, Jerry. The money has been officially approved. Reports, report of officers. Any officers reports?

okay i have none no one else has any so we'll now move on to 4b communications and staff reports um yes we have three communications i just want to bring up a note and they're all kind of related a number of grant applications that people are putting in for funding do not necessarily need us to need for them to to indicate compliance or support for their grant application from the Dauphin County Planning Commission. However, the way they write their requirements now that they have to notify us. So we've got three of those notifications and I'll just bring those up and we don't have to do any action or anything like that. But in order for getting on the record, one is a Pembroke borough is going to be looking at phase one improvements for the Pembroke Community Park. The second one is the Borough of High Spire notified us of their application for High Spire Borough Memorial Park improvements phase two. And then also as the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources asking for funding from another for from the DCNR, and so they're applying to Bureau of Forestry is looking for Weiser. Weiser. Weiser Forest District. They're looking to construct 13 miles of shared use non-motorized trail on Greenland State Forest Track. Actually, and later on, you'll see there's a consistency letter that they asked for that as well. But again, there is those three. I've duly noted.

Okay, great. Thank you very much. Let's go to C, progress reports.

I'll take that. Start with transportation planning stuff. The main thing right now, we are as of Friday in our public comment period for the update to the transportation improvement program or what you'll often hear me refer to as the tips or the The TIP is the four year construction program of all federal and state funded projects in the region. We update it every two years. So this is our, we're kind of at the tail end of the process. For 30 days we have, we will be accepting public comments. Tomorrow we actually have two what we call virtual public information sessions. They're essentially Zoom meetings where I'll go through an interactive story map that kind of lays out some of the basics of the TIP and how we develop it and then what projects are included. So there's one tomorrow at 2 p.m. and one tomorrow at 6 p.m. Then we provide those recordings then we'll provide those recordings for people to watch at their own time and then they submit public comments um uh to brian snyder on our transportation planner on our staff and then that's just all part of the process that'll get adopted uh anticipated to be adopted in june by the hats committees uh elsewhere in transportation planning we are working on um Late last year, we were notified that we were awarded a $500,000 grant for additional safety planning for some locations that were identified in our safety study for hats that we adopted in September of 2024. So we're getting consultants on board for that and that should start kind of later this summer into the fall. We finished our electric vehicle infrastructure priority, community determination through HATS as a part of PennDOT's NEVI program. So we'll be submitting that to PennDOT and they'll be releasing an application around for our region for or it's essentially private support or public support for private electric vehicle charging infrastructure investments. I'll save all the stuff for Dolphin in case, do you want to do that now?

However you guys want to do it. You can finish and then I'll do the last.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's it. Just in terms of the, Our regional program, the RGMP is continuing. We're doing outreach right now. Lindsey Greer, our regional planner, is heading that up. We've done a number of focus groups. I think we have a couple left. The people that we weren't able to get into focus groups, we're having one-on-one conversations with. And then we'll be getting our GIS analysis, kind of the technical side of the evaluation, the analysis. So hoping to have some results for that probably later this summer. Yeah. Are there any questions or any specific things in the progress report that you have a question on?

Tanner's run. We're already with Tanner's run.

Well, Tanner's run, I think, is still being coordinated between the two municipalities. I know that Millersburg Borough has joined the REP program in particular for trying to seek funding through our program, writing grants and things like that. I know that there had been some action between talking about that one property, trying to was a contractor the contractor backed out and then somebody else was trying to get in there or looking to see about getting we're talking about the really crazy screwed up property well the one that has all the all the damage with the house that's about to fall in and correct yeah so i think they're still uh stable from what i understand uh but whether or not there's any kind of movement i think it's just a matter of finding contractors and finding money and so praying that the next storm doesn't occur very soon. Right. And then, like I said, I know that Alexa from our staff has already started talking about them for filing for the next Storm Greener grants and some of the other things for Millersburg for trying to see.

Thank you, Jerry, because as we all know, this subject kind of like people talked about and things happened and nothing really moved forward it sounds like we're moving things forward well we're kind of responding to the request of what they're asking us to do right and uh i don't think they even knew what to ask for in the past i think we got that resolved well i think they took a great step when they did the study

i mean that identified everything i think that kind of was the the number one thing that we would have if we were like leading the charge in terms of everything but i think millersburg kind of took that on i think still the question is uh you know who's responsibility and who's going to be doing some of the work and if we can find the outside funding for them then that'll certainly uh um you know kind of make it you know take a lot of the bearing of the weight off of what has to be done.

That had so many overlapping jurisdictions and stacked jurisdictions.

Well, I think there's also, too, something with Debra Paxson from just talking with Tanner in the last update. They were also looking at another option of moving the line again, what that would take. Again, that may be something that's going to be in play later on, but I know that that was also some of the other to Upper Paxton in terms of them and the authority and everything else. But again, I can't speak for certain. I know, Chris, you're no longer on board with the governing end of things, but have you heard any more of what's happened up there since?

To the best of my knowledge, I believe digging should start soon on just opening the channel, which is what we were trying to get done last fall. I think they've found a contractor and Um, the digging is supposed to happen for that. Um, beyond that, I think, um, to your point, Jerry, I think upper packs and townships trying to work on a plan to, um, reroute the storm sewers so that it kind of goes along the street and down the driveway of the, uh, property in question instead of underneath kind of the corner. of the garage area that would have to be taken down. And so I don't know where that's at in their process, but I think they're investigating that. And then of course the funding for any of it, I think is kind of up in the air at this point.

Sounds like there's progress. Thank you so much, Chris. Appreciate that. All right, thank you, Jerry.

You're welcome.

I'll do one other thing. I just wanted to mention, I forgot. We did release our data center model ordinance middle of last month. So that has been released to the municipalities. I know we're already seeing things are changing so fast with that. I think you're going to see us, you know, certainly not on a monthly basis or anything updating that, but we'll be making small tweaks to that as more you know, somebody else figures out some way to, you know, we're still coming up with things that we want to regulate through that, not inventing them, but seeing new impacts from these data centers, and trying to, you know, kind of collectively address how we can how we can best not regulate, but manage and mitigate some of the impacts while still allowing and facilitating the economic growth and benefit that they can provide. So you'll see us continue to an iterative process in keeping that ordinance specifically updated and fresh.

Thank you. I think these data centers are a classic example of how private property advocates like myself, private property rights advocates, they really don't like regulation. You were looking for another word because it's a bad word. On the other hand, these data centers have such a huge ripple effect. to say we're not going to have a special ordinance for this, and we're going to stick our head in a hole in the ground and pretend it's not happening. It's ridiculous. So thank you for your professionalism. Appreciate the forward look on that. That's the right thing to do. Okay. Thank you. All right. Are we done with the C program progress report?

I will just mention one thing. We weren't really going to talk about the Dafa County comp plan itself, but to let you know that the We're still awaiting whether or not the state grant is out there. We're going to get funded through that, through the MAPS grant. They have not made their announcement. They usually make it at the end of April, sometime early May. We've asked for $75,000 there. We have not gotten official notice from the gaming grant. However, we did get kind of a same notice that pretty much everybody else did.

We were included in the motion.

We were included in the motion. but we haven't gotten the paperwork and everything there yet. So we did, from what the motion said and what was on the paper, we got $75,000, which would go a long way towards what we were looking at spending for the outreach. Well, we've been kind of doing some of the outreach, just sort of trying to get some things moving forward. We were at the Wetlands Festival this last week, And we had a very nice turnout in terms of people coming by our booth and giving us their opinion on what they think is some of the best things of Dauphin County, because we try to, in the first part of our outreach, we're asking them what are their strengths. We will get to the question of what are things they need to improve on. Opportunities. Yeah, opportunities. It's pretty positive. right we will do that in a different format other than being at a nice place where people are bringing their dogs to walk the park type of thing but but we do have a couple things already planned we're going to be going up to the ned smith center for uh in june for a thing we we're also looking at a possibility of something in lower sotera Although I'm not sure that's going to fall through or come through, but we're looking at maybe one or two more. We're looking at having something here down in Strawberry Square during a lunchtime. so that we probably want to have four different events where we're asking people what are, and it's a simple thing, it's just asking what is your favorite place in Dauphin County that's giving us the impression of where people think is valuable. I mean, at this last event, we got people showing us their fishing spots, but we got a lot of people showing us things that were really, truly valuable to them. taking that input, whether it's their community, their home, their favorite park, things like that. And the idea is those are our strengths and those are what we want to make sure that we don't mess up. Later on, we'll figure out what's wrong and try and figure out what they think. I'm sure that list is really long. Well, everybody has a complaint, but everybody has things that they like. Good. I'm glad to hear that. Like I said, we're doing that part and we're going to be putting together. We started the list of people who will be on the steering committee, of course, by anybody being on the planning commission will be on that steering committee. But we're looking at also kind of having a subgroup of the professional planners helping out. And again, a lot of it depends on how much money we're going to get for the rest of the outreach and how much we're going to be able to do. But we won't start that until we know what our real budget is going to be. It put us back a couple of months, not knowing, but we'll get it all done by the end of next year. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Jerry.

Okay, LPA report.

There is nothing much, you know, a lot of things we've got. You'll see the wetlands vessels there, a number of night meetings, and a couple of things happening with Susquehanna Township. And you'll see that there's a rezoning that's probably will pop up for that. But that's nothing above and beyond what we normally do.

Well, and I would just like to point out for anybody who's new to this process, You go down the local planning assistance report, you'll see night meeting, night meeting, night meeting, night meeting, night meeting and so on. These are meetings at night that the staff go to instead of going home to their families for dinner. And staff like Jerry have been a long time and others who have been here even longer than Jerry have spent a tremendous amount of their evenings uh with uh with with people in you know northern dauphin county instead of enjoying a family dinner at home i just want to say again thank you to the staff for doing all these night meetings it's much appreciated i've got passes to northern dauphin that they give me so not everybody gets those i've got like four of them now i don't know i guess you know they forget to give it to me or i haven't been pressing them i'm not sure yet all right any committee reports hearing none we'll go to five new business subdivision land development matters number one review and comments on uh 12 uh plans um in terms of uh something to note there uh the uh

in uh in swatera township there is uh there's a new wild walk coming into town um yes that's it yeah it's it's small scale because it's less than 10 000 square feet That'll be coming forward in terms of the review at the Sawyer Tire Townships. It's right next to the bank building. It's kind of slicing off a piece up front. They've been back and forth with the HOP and how to readjust that. They're going to be changing the entrance and things like that. Next one I think shows you where it is.

Yeah, I noticed it ended up now almost in the middle of that parking lot instead of along the 40th Street side. So I guess they've moved it a time or two.

Yeah, and I think there was some fighting between a couple of the neighboring properties between how they were going to go in and out, even though I think they were selling off from them. one of the interesting things and this is not necessarily related to this plan but uh in conversations with the township officials they were told that sheets has told them there's two more coming in there and three more wawa's months to target swatera taja really so this is the second wall line in swatera so they're talking a total of five of five wawa's

just in switcheroo township what they said wow so i don't know what kind of yeah where the capital diner is is going to be the next spot they're actually working on i was told that the the the big lower parking lot of the capital diner right there on eisenhower and lindell road now they're talking about buying the capital diner and putting a really big one in that whole section there yeah

Don't they have water issues down below them in that property?

In this one?

No, the one by the property where the Capitol Diner is.

Well, yeah, technically it always was. The lower parking lot was the drainage basin for that strip of land, but that has since been filled in for a parking lot.

Wow.

Yeah.

I drink a lot of coffee in Sweat Arrow Township, Bob.

So in essence, that's one of the bigger, I mean, it's not a physically large property project type of thing, but that's kind of one of the ones of note. There's one lot consolidation plan within Harrisburg that's happening for multifamily housing. 13th street um you can see that they consolidate a number of lots and put them together and that it's a former printing press or something like that that's going to be converted into 12 units is this up by state street i think it is okay and then they're going to be putting a parking lot and some stormwater facilities I'm trying to think what other ones we saw.

I like the name of Major Look Property Holdings.

Which one?

Major Look Property Holdings. Oh, yeah.

That's a beauty salon, I think.

Yeah, that's the other. That's 33.

Yeah, I was fascinated by that name also. Made you look. That's in a residential area. That's right. I'm going to actually drive it later tonight to look exactly what they're doing there. Oh, yeah.

I got them mad about this one with my comment, but they do that a lot. The problem is if you take a look at the lower portion right there, the one unit that's to the left. I see that. Yeah, there's a conflict. There's an encroachment, and they don't have anything related with the neighboring property owner. So the line goes right through their porch, and that's the only access out of that building. So each time you come out of that building, you're actually technically trespassing on your neighbor. What does the neighbor have to say about that? Neighbor doesn't know. They submitted this plan, and that was my comment. Well, Bob, you've got your work to do.

I know. I looked at it. It's, I guess, allowed, but, you know, I would have thought that the Planning Commission of Sweet Arrow would have caught that, but I guess they get it back again to look at it.

Well, I think that right now it's in their solicitor's hands on whether... Is it?

Okay.

Yeah, it's, you know, it's... How much of a big deal? Well, the thing is, is the applicant was claiming that it's a civil matter. And my point was, it may be a civil matter, but by you approving it, you're actually approving something that may be not i mean you can't have somebody else's property affected without them being at least part of the tables right yeah civil matter why this is why planning exists right okay so anyway that i mean even though it's they made us look and because they made up yeah that's too bad for them yeah that's very funny yeah you can see that conflict

Any others?

No, I think not. So, Jerry, what are you looking for here?

We made all of our comments, the plans. You know, you've had a chance to look at the comments and Technically, whenever we make our plan comments, we are actually, that's the taking action on behalf of the commission. What we do here now is we present that, all that, and we're just asking you to ratify it. However, if you find something that we wrote and didn't like or hadn't, we have a chance to go back and amend it and send them, or if you want to add or enhance anything,

Well, I want to make sure that we're ratifying your specific comment on Made You Look. Yes, that's right.

Yeah, that was in there.

Yeah, I saw it in there, Jerry. So what you just told us is in the comment, correct, the way I read it? Right, yeah.

So like any of those comments that you saw in that sheet, if you just pull any of those ones up. So what you see right there, again, going back to the review in terms of what we do every month, This is our format. This is the information on the project. It gives you the details of it. It also gives a little bit of a description of it. We try to identify what we see as the waivers or variances or anything like that. And then then what we do is we make comments and our comments are usually over the shoulder kind of type of things, depending on what municipality we're working with. We either give them a little bit more if they ask for a little more, depending on what their staff owe. But mainly, we're looking at whether or not there's good planning happening. And then we give a kind of summary of what we think is good planning things to issues or to look at. If there's a case of a regional impact, they may not have thought of transportation, sidewalks, or anything like that. That's what we would try and also highlight. So where do we do under the MPC? We cannot tell them no, except for in the plans, the areas that we have the approvals, but these are just, it's advised it's advised. It's another set of eyes that they have. Right. Okay.

So, so I move to ratify the staff to, um, accept the staff's comments on those plans.

Mary, thank you very much. Do we have a second?

I'll second this, Lisa.

Okay, go ahead. Thank you, Lisa. Seconded by Lisa. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Motion passes. Thank you, Mary and Lisa. Okay. You're now a famous person, Jerry, because your made-you-look-mad comment is on the record. All right. Approvals. Millersburg Borough.

Yeah, you know, as we have done in the past couple of months, there was the case of Millersburg itself is, you know, that the Midpen Bank had some things with their zoning or their consolidation of the lots to get ready for this. And this plan is now actually the building of the new building that they're looking to do. This is a land, there is some subdivision provisions where they're moving lot lines around, but also the main thing is the actual plan itself development. You'll see included in the packet was a couple of their letters indicating what they're looking to do. Also, some of the things that they're looking at in terms of waivers that they'll be asking for. The one is two things. The main is that well typically in the plan for waivers is the provision of only providing a having preliminary and final subdivision plan at the same time and then the second thing again is the stormwater matter and that's uh we'll be talking with the borough about that as we did last meeting If you recall, there was the issue about HOP whenever they brought it up. From our understanding, the applicant has met with PennDOT and talked to PennDOT, and they have discovered there is an existing HOP for that. So it's just going to be a modification of it, not have to worry about granting the waiver and not having to have it.

All we need is the HOP number. So we don't even need a waiver from us.

Right. So we're out of that. From my understanding, we're out of that picture. at all all right any further discussion on i think we have a is that stephen yes is the is that are you representing the this project or stephen getter can you hear us it looks like his microphone steve your microphone is turned off there it's okay no i'm not rep i am not representing this project You're not. Is there a reason? Just so we know we don't miss what you're liking to talk about.

I'm just attending the meeting. I'm a consultant project manager for A. Morton Thomas and Associates.

Okay. All right. Well, welcome. Thank you. Yep. So in this case, what happens is because the Dauphin County Planning Commission is the administrative body to review and approve this plan with the submission and it was considered to be all the information is complete. And with doing this, we will move forward with the 90 day process that's allowed under the so it can start the review and finalize.

Thank you, Jerry. Okay. Motion accepts.

Motion accepts.

Wow, that was heavily emphasized. We came through loud and clear.

I think he seconded them.

Yeah, he third and fourthed. Okay, thank you. Do we have a second?

Bob Spandler, I'll second that.

Thank you very much. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Hearing no opposition, it passes. Okay, let's go to 5B, zoning amendments. Start with Susquehanna Township.

Yeah, Susquehanna has received an application for amendment to their ordinance. They're looking to have a Linglestown Road overlay district which six parcels along Lichtenstadt Road. It's currently R1 and it abuts their business office residential. It basically would maintain the R1 zoning while allowing for additional commercial office, public utility, institutional recreational uses, as well as the residential use type of thing.

Should we have a map of that?

Yeah, if you go into the last page there, you'll see. That's their total application right there, and then there's a map. And that's, again, for those of you kind of knowing We try to put these in because if we put it in the initial packet, it would be pretty heavy.

So cross from deer pack.

Yeah. Right. Yeah. Gotcha. West of Crooked Hill.

Thank you. That's very helpful to see.

So the review we did was so at this point we're just making comments on it. We're not recommending or either recommending for approval or denial. You know, there's some validity to having that area being a commercial corridor type of thing. However, one of the things that we want to make sure that it's all within their plans of what they see is for the Lingolstown Road. Also, there's some questions on making sure that they would have the connectivity with the pedestrian and other access points. and such and there's not really anything addressed in that district for that and then also to or the traffic impacts beforehand that has not been presented as well so so it's a you know it has some merit but however at this point we're thinking they may need to look at it a little bit more in depth before they make a decision didn't susquehanna township do some more creative zoning closer to front street they did actually they did quite a bit on front street they kind of have a more like town vision ordinary kind of entrance type of thing into it right kind of coordinating the uh all the way up and down and towards the city and things like that so they they have done quite a bit within their comprehensive plan uh I'm not sure if they've talked about this area per se in their plan right to give you know like a calling out type of thing this is a part of that lingo's town forward okay Thank you. So those are our comments. We're just making comments, no formal up or down.

Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve staff comments on Susquehanna Township's overlay?

Brian Palmeroy will second.

Okay. Thank you, Bob and Brian. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Are there any opposition? Any opposed? None. Motion passes. Thank you, Brian and Bob. Thank you. Okay, now we go to Bob Country, Lower Swatara Township. We have a text amendment on a residential retirement facilities height. Boy, this is planning 101. You guys live for this stuff, don't you? No, we don't.

This is a little... It keeps the meat on the plate. It does. Go ahead. Tell us what's happening. Well, a request was made to the township of a property owner who has a number of properties, and some of them are in a use that is like a retirement type use. residential retirement facilities. The current property or the restriction is 40 feet. And in order to allow him a little bit more roof coverage and to peak his roofs, he's asking to go for 45 feet. He could ask for variances on a number of different properties, but it makes sense just to have an overall consistent across the board type of thing. So we find this is kind of a

a moderate change and then we do have a couple comments but in essence we're in favor of with a few minor uh just things makes sense right correct all right any questions for jerry or andrew on this hearing none do we have a motion to approve staff recommendation motion from chris and second from mary second from mary thank you very much uh uh calling for approval uh all those in favor please say aye aye aye any opposed hearing none the motion passes thank you all right now we get to intergovernmental reviews this is 5c middletown borough okay first mr chairman i would like to make a request that we open up the agenda and add an item because we

There was one item that was missed from an administrative standpoint, and we would like to have one more item added.

Jerry, you ask and we grant.

Go right ahead. What is it? The item is for Lower Pax and Township. They have a request for an intergovernmental for possibility playground for a grant application. Um, and I can get into the details if it's accepted.

Yeah, we absolutely accept that. Sure. For sure. We'll have to. Do we need to move? Thank you, Mary. Thank you, Chris. All those in favor, please approve it.

Bye.

Thank you.

Any opposed? Thank you. No, Jerry. Okay. All right. So what we typically do here is we'll talk about each one of these intergovernmentals on what fell swoop, if that's all right. Yes, please do. All right. The first one is, uh, We have so many of these because the timeframe for grant applications is coming in and coming, like, either at the end of the month or such. And in some cases, we've actually taken some administrative action to refer, as I mentioned, those letters in the beginning. But the first one is Middletown Borough, Swatera Crossings Park Phase 2 is asking for funding for a grant application for $600,000 for improvement of the park. The park improvement is a lot of things. The Londonderry Township is similar. Another Sunset Park, large playground replacement. Again, another large improvement project. They're looking at $250,000, and it's, again, mostly equipment and some other kind of amenities, such as a site development plan for the remaining area. The third one is Harrisburg City Riverfront Park green stormwater infrastructure. We have done some things with this with Capital Region Water. While Capital Region Water is doing some improvements to their storm lines and storm separation. The city is putting in for a $250,000 grant application after it's done to provide amenities such as furnishing, lighting and such to associate it after the construction of the work is done on the infrastructure. The City Island Master Plan, again, this is another application by the city. They're looking for $250,000 to do a study for the overall enhancement of City Island. The next one is Rattling Creek Shared Use Trail Development at Wiser State Park. Again, this is, they're looking at improving trails, improving bikeway access. They're looking at improving it with the Susquehanna Area Mountain Bike Association. And they're looking at improving something, approximately 19 miles of track and also 13.1 miles of additional improvements that maybe we'll use for equestrian activities. Then the Division of Street Safety.

This is actually a grant application to actually a federal discretionary grant program called the SS4A program that's We develop, we did our regional safety action plan, and it made everybody in our region eligible for these implementation funds. So they're, they're going after it for multimodal improvements on division street from 7th down to front street that they've been throwing a lot of. This is a number of applications have been. these improvements. So hopefully they'll get they'll get one of these. I do know that these implementation grants are very competitive. So I'm hopeful they've certainly done their legwork on that.

Right. And then the last one is the one we just added is Lower Paxton Township. Lower Paxton Township is looking to and to renovate the existing Possibility Place playground within the Thomas B. George Park.
