No surprise tonight

Well, despite all the facts that we and our experts provided, including our traffic engineer, who made it clear that traffic would increase 100 times, or 10,000%, and our storm water management expert who brought into serious question the developers plan to control storm water run-off if this project was approved, the 3-D's (C. David Howell, David Hoff and Supervisor 60% (a.k.a. Donald "Don" Miller) gave overall approval and voted to approve the Weis Market plan.

We are not surprised as this seemed to be a done-deal from the start.

What happens next? First, we will continue our challenge to Zoning Ordinance #298 as we still believe that this change to the Zoning Ordinance constituted "spot zoning".

At the end of the day, if for some reason we are not successful with our challenge before the Zoning Hearing Board, the only thing that will change is that the venue moves from Sullivan Trail in Forks Township to Washington Street in Easton.

Sad to say that by ignoring all of the facts provided, Supervisors Miller, Hoff and Howell don't give a damn about the residents of Forks Township!
