The event will be held at the large flag pole near the rear pavilion with plenty of parking and no towing of vehicles for this event.

The listing was originally put together by students at Conestoga High School. All are invited to attend. This is another opportunity to thank all our veterans for their service. If a name is missing from the listing, this is a chance to get the information to the Berwyn Veterans for future inclusion at the memorial. Contact... |

| Inspections and Permit Services As of late, there has been an onslaught of property maintenance complaints associated with dead and/or dying trees and shrubs. The Township has gone from the normal 2-3 calls a month to at least 2-3 a week. Kind of strange. But, just like clockwork, the proverbial inquiry of, "Is there a full moon?", arrived right on time. The Township thought this would be a good topic to clarify most misconceptions about how the Township Property Maintenance Ordinance regulates dead and dying trees along with overgrowth that may cause line-of-sight or occasional blight issues. One thing to remember is that when it comes to personal property, most discrepancies and/or disagreements on just about any topic are considered "civil" in nature, meaning that all parties involved are required to resolve the issues civilly. If that cannot be done, the next step would be to file the discrepancy or disagreement civilly, with the local court so that a remedy can be obtained based on the sworn facts and without prejudice. You can read the full ordinance (at the link below) which is intended not so much for the property line disagreement, but more so within the public way that may, as written, put business occupants, pedestrians, and other persons using or exposed to the premises in harm's way (i.e.: utility workers, police, emergency response, etc.). Ordinance of Tredyffrin Township Let me close with some useful information. It has always been my understanding that any tree growth, shrub, or the like that may find its way over and/or onto an adjacent property, that property owner becomes the new heir of that portion of that tree, shrub, and/or the like. Full Stop. Meaning, feel free to trim, cut, or remove any portion that happens to find its way onto your side of the line. Good luck. Be good neighbors. And have an enjoyable autumn. My back hurts just thinking of raking those beautifully turned leaves. Michael V. Pilotti |
