The secretary reported that the new windows had been installed in the township building, and the work was satisfactory. 

Minor Subdivisions:
Kevin Kelly Subdivision:
Andy Murphy, resident, had several questions about the minor subdivision plan for the Kelly property that directly abuts him.  Murphy asked about the paving of the proposed road that will connect the two lots to Wayne Drive.  There are already six or seven houses along this unapproved road.  There was some discussion about Mr. Kelly filing a quite claim deed to claim a portion of Murphy’s land to connect Wayne Drive to the lots being created by this subdivision.  Sellers said the existing driveway that accesses Route 52 can be used for the existing house only.  Any other lots will have to be accessed from Wayne Drive, and Wayne Drive will have to be brought up to township specifications.  Sellers invited Mr. Murphy to attend the next Planning Commission Meeting to voice his concerns.
