Noise and Light Pollution Concerns Raised by Residents
Residents expressed significant concerns about noise and light pollution originating from the Kettle and Fire manufacturing facility and the Ascent apartments, respectively. Noise levels are reportedly between 60-70 decibels, impacting residents' quality of life. Light pollution from the Ascent apartments is described as 'ridiculous,' with lights shining excessively. Staff acknowledged the noise complaint and is working with the property owner and a noise consultant. Regarding lighting, staff noted that the Ascent apartments have not received final approvals, and the township's light ordinance requires downward-facing lights.
Fire Police Assistance Approved for New Holland Borough Fair
The board approved a request for fire police assistance from New Holland Borough for their fair, scheduled from September 29th to October 3rd, 2026. Several fire companies, including Hand in Hand, Lafayette, and Whitford, have availability. The township provides workers' compensation for fire departments, and board approval is needed for assistance outside the township's area.
Jacob Bowen Appointed Primary Building Code Official
The board approved the appointment of Jacob Bowen as the primary building code official for East Lampeter Township. Bowen has completed the required building code official training and passed the state-level exam. This brings the total number of building code officials to three, including Steven Sonopoli and Alexandra Wozalewski.
Residents Voice Urgent Concerns Over Traffic Safety on Willow Road and Other Local Streets
During public comment, residents raised significant concerns about traffic safety and volume on Willow Road and other local roads like Fari Road and Hobson Road. Issues include speeding, increased truck traffic (including non-farm-related vehicles and tankers), blind spots at intersections, and the impact on agricultural safety and Amish residents. Residents reported accidents and requested studies and mitigation efforts. Staff noted that speed limit determination follows PennDOT regulations based on speed studies (85th percentile), and while studies consider safety and accident numbers, the township must accept PennDOT's findings. The board added safety items to the agenda for ongoing discussion.
