Chester County Minor Subdivision
On November 15, 2007, Hubbard, Sellers, and Planning
Commission Vice-Chair Steve Conary met with the County Engineer and Don
Thompson of the Facilities Department to inspect the Barnard House, which
is scheduled to be turned over to the Township. The L shaped section
behind house could not be inspected, but the structure looks sound. The
roof is aluminum and no leaks were visible. The interior will need
considerable work to be appropriate for public use. The County was asked
to fix the downspout.
There was discussion of whether the current tenant can
continue to live in the building when the Township assumes ownership.
Sellers will obtain details on the existing lease and potential insurance
issues. The building will have to be heated during the winter. Along with
periodically checking the building, the Public Works crew will dig out a
tree stump and will cut the bank back near the garden, moving the dirt
behind the barn or south of the garden away from the flooplain area.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 9:00
a.m.
