Development News from the latest meeting
Bluestone Country Club Granted Waiver for Pump House Construction
The Board of Supervisors approved a waiver for Bluestone Country Club regarding the requirement to prepare a land development plan for the construction of a new pump house. The waiver is contingent upon the approval of the site plan by the township engineer and obtaining necessary building permits. This decision follows a review of soil reports that confirmed suitability for construction.
Board Reviews Upcoming July Meeting Agenda, Including Zoning, Loans, and Settlements
The Board of Supervisors reviewed the agenda for their upcoming July 21st meeting. Key items include a vote on a conditional use application for 1730 Skipback Pike, consent agenda items, an ordinance for a handicap parking zone in West Ambler, an ordinance for a bank loan for a fire truck, a potential settlement for 997 Skip Pike regarding stormwater issues, and an authorization to advertise a zoning ordinance update. Public comment and closing comments from the board were also noted.
Community Center Construction Advances with Site Preparation and Foundation Work
An update was provided on the construction progress of the new community center. The project has moved from pre-construction to active building and construction phases. Current work includes extensive site preparation, earthwork, grading, stormwater infrastructure, and the commencement of concrete work for the building pad and footings. Underground utility installations are also ongoing. Future work will involve visible above-ground construction, including the elevator shaft and utility connections across Cal Pike, which are planned to minimize disruption before Labor Day.
Board Appoints New Members to Environmental Advisory Council
The Board of Supervisors considered and approved the appointment of two individuals to the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). Kira Doolin was appointed as a non-voting student member, and Partha Das was appointed as an alternate member. Both appointments are effective immediately with terms to be determined.
Township Reports Positive Financial Performance for 2025 and Positive 2026 Trends
A financial update for the township for the year 2025 and year-to-date 2026 was presented. In 2025, revenues were above budget and slightly below estimate, while expenditures were below both budget and estimate, resulting in a surplus of approximately $130,000 better than anticipated. Key revenue drivers included building permits and zoning fees, with some fluctuations in real estate transfer tax and earned income tax. Expenditures were generally managed well across departments, with notable savings in engineering and parks and recreation, partly due to personnel turnover. For 2026 year-to-date, earned income tax is trending higher than budgeted, while local services taxes and real estate transfer tax are lagging. Expenditures are generally within budget, though winter weather costs, fuel prices, and overtime have increased compared to the mild winter of 2024. The total assessed value for property taxes has shown slight increases in 2026 compared to estimates.
