North Strabane Adopts Zoning And Fire Code Updates

North Strabane Township Supervisors adopted measures that have been long in coming. The measures adopted did not pass unanimously. First, supervisors adopted the preliminary and final land development applications for a personal warehouse that is planned by CC Realty Advisors at the corner of Morganza and Curry Roads. They also approved the amendments to the commercial zoning district defining and regulating a personal warehouse development. The measures both passed 3-1 with supervisor chairman Neil Kelly dissenting. Kelly says he has voted against the project from the beginning.  He thinks that management of the entities going into the development could become problematic. The second measure adopted by a 3-1 vote were updates to the township fire ordinance where they adopted certain portions of the International Fire Code. Public Safety Director Mark Grimm said that the majority of the updates pertain to inspections of commercial properties. He said his fire department will be on an educational blitz to inform people just how the inspection system is devised and what to expect from the annual inspections. Supervisor Marcus Staley voted against the measure. He reserved comment on his vote for the future. Another important action, supervisors set October 31, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm as the time for Halloween trick or treating.
