By LAURIE HOUSER Evening Sun Correspondent MOUNT JOY TWP The township planning commission held their second and final information meeting last night on the proposed zoning ordinance for Mount Joy Township.
Changes to the proposed ordinance, many of which were suggested by residents at the first public meeting in April, were presented to residents by township solicitor Samuel Teeter and David Humphrey, from Urban Research and Development Corp. (URD), the firm assisting the township with the preparation of the ordinance. The most sought after alteration to the first draft involved decreasing the lot sizes from the original 80,000 square feet minimum requirement in the Rural Residential (RR) District (14,000 of the township's 16,500 total acreage falls in this zoning category) to 40,000 square feet. Due to problems with septic systems, township officials declined decreasing the minimum lot size in the RR zoned areas without access to public utilities to 40,000 square feet, but they did agree to compromise with 60,000 square feet to ensure that lots remain affordable for everyone and are easier to maintain. Another change which was requested by residents was the increase in allowable expansion of existing nonconforming business from 25 percent to 50 percent.
Under a grandfather clause, a business existing before zoning but not permitted under the provisions in the zoning ordinance will be allowed to remain as a nonconforming business. Also permitted will be a wider variety of more "intense" home occupations such as a Machine Shop or Barber Shop in the RR District. The Village Commercial Zone, which allows a mix of commercial and residential zoning, was also extended further south on Route 97 in the Frogtown area. Officials refused to allow the whole length of Route 97 to be zoned commercially as was requested by one resident. They said this would constitute undesirable "strip" zoning, something which the township is trying to avoid.
They also denied a request for mobile home parks permitted by right in the RR district and the placement of billboards along Route 97.. While the turnout at last night's meeting was considerably lower than the 120 residents at the first public meeting, most of the 60 who did attend seemed to be in favor of the proposed zoning ordinance. When prompted by resident John McAllister, the majority of the residents in attendance cheered in favor of zoning. "Lets find out who in this room is for zoning," said McAllister. "Would everybody in this room for zoning please stand up." Reversion clause brakes down sale of York Springs Elementary School By JANET WILLIAMS Evening Sun Reporter YORK SPRINGS The sale of the old York Springs Elementary School isn't proceeding completely on schedule.
The deadline for a sales agreements with the York Springs Lions Club and the York Springs Fire Co. passed last week, but only the Lions have executed the necessary paperwork. Jack Phillips, attorney for the school district, said the negotiations with the fire company "kind of came to a halt" because of the reversion clause required by the schoc! code. The legislation that enabled school districts to sell property to community fire companies requires that if the property ceases to be used for fire company purposes, it will revert to the school district. Al Shull, president of the fire company confirmed that the reversion clause was creating problems.
He was reluctant to discuss the matter, since it has been turned over to the fire company's attorney, Ronald Hagerman. However, since Hagerman was unavailable for comment, Shull did confirm that the reversion clause is creating problems in getting financing. The school board agreed to sell the property to the fire company for $90,000. That figure represents 70 percent of the assessed value of the school and nearly six acres. A similar discount was allowed to East Berlin Borough on the old East Berlin Elementary School.
Bermudian Superintendent Dr. W. Reese Lichtel said, "We are now exploring ways to make the reversion clause more acceptable to both parties." Since the fire company's attorney is out of town all week, those ideas are sort of on hold. "The fire company still seems to be the best candidate to make the purchase," Lichtel said, emphasizing the district wants to see the properties remain in community hands. Phillips outlined three possible alternatives that will enable the school to reach an agreement with the fire company.
One would be to sell the property at the full market value, which would eliminate the need for a reversion clause. If the fire company, would agree to that, the school would have to petition the court for approval, the same as it is doing with the sale to the Lions. A second alternative would have the school district agree to reimburse the fire company, on a prorated basis, if the land ever did revert to the school. Phillips explained this proposal would have the school paying back the full value of the property if the reversion occurred in the first 10 years. In the second decade after the Ruth E.

Then the resident, who said, "I oppose zoning, of any kind on the grounds that it takes away another one of our rights," declared that he had "been beat." Teeter then interjected, explaining to McAllister that township officials are aware that in matterssuch as zoning there will always be those who are for and those who are against it. "We can talk here, all night and not resolve anything," said Teeter. "I think the township supervisors eventually have an obligation to develop a zoning ordinance, if they choose to develop a zoning ordinance, that has reasonable provisions and that's really what these public meetings and the eventual public hearing's all about." "I won't call what you're doing grandstanding but I don't thing it helps the process," added Teeter. Many residents applauded the supervisors, the planning commission, and URD on their preparation of the draft ordinance. "It appears to be a zoning ordinance that we all can live with," said Ellie Bennett.
The next step in the zoning process is a required public hearing which must be held by the township supervisors preceding their regular board meeting. This date has yet to be determined. sale, the school would deduct 20 percent of the original sale price. The payback would go down 20 percent each decade thereafter. The third option would be for the school to petition the court to permit the sale without a reversion clause.
Phillips said he believes such a request would have a 50-50 chance of being approved. "The statute that permitted schools to sell property to fire companys at the discount just came in 1990," he said. The next board meeting will be June 18. No decision on the sale will be made before that date, Lichtel said.

Upper Adams unveils budget BIGLERVILLE The Upper Adams School District Board of Directors unveiled a new $9.5 million budget Monday night that includes a 22.9-mill property tax. The 1 new tax rate represents a $55 average increase for property owners in the school district. The school board will consider the budget for adoption at its June 24 meeting.
The directors scheduled a Wednesday meeting to borrow money to build the proposed new Biglerville Elementary School along Route 34 in Butler Township. The project will be funded through an $8.3 million bond issue and the refinancing of a $4.2 million bond issue from 1988. The board also approved a new one-year teachers' contract that includes a raise in starting salaries from $22,000 to $24,250 and an increase in maximum salaries from $41,000 to $44,000.
