Trout Creek Stormwater Overlay District Ordinance Public Hearing

 

The next Board of Supervisors public hearing for the revised ordinance amendment is on Monday, May 14th, 2012, 7:30 pm in the Township Building. At this hearing, the Stormwater Working Group formed in March of this year by local residents, will present its findings.

 

The overlay district is intended to encourage redevelopment on large properties in the Trout Creek Watershed that will include substantial public stormwater facilities to better manage runoff.

 

The Township has conducted studies to evaluate and develop recommendations to improve the condition of the Trout Creek Watershed and address flooding in the Glenhardie area. The zoning amendment is part of the implementation effort. Please click here for an overview of the studies and the ordinance and for a presentation by the Township Engineer.

During 2012, Tredyffrin will review the services provided by a different Township department each month at a Board of Supervisors public meeting, as well as revenue sources available to pay for those services. The goal is to engage in public dialogue that will lead to goals for the 2013 budget that begins in the fall. The services involved with the libraries will be presented Monday, May 14th, 2012, 7:30 pm.
