The historic Wissler House
on Eas t Main Street a t Church
Square will be acquired and
r e s to r e d— but will not be
used to house e ithe r the a rc­hives
museum or the public
library.
This was th e tentative de­cision
reached by members of
the Lititz Historical Founda ­tion
following a to u r of in­spection
of the aged dwelling
on Saturday afternoon. Ap­proximately
thirty-five per­sons
made the to u r and a t ­tended
the meeting later to
discuss possibilities of re s tor­ing
th e building.
In th e i r discussion, mem­bers
of the committee agreed
th a t it would not be practical
to attempt, to house tile valu­able
archives collection in the
original part of th e dwelling
inasmuch as records of this
type should be kept in a fire­proof
s tructure. It also was
felt th a t the dwelling is not
large enough to bouse the
public library.
I t was felt th a t the F o u n ­dation
should purchase the
property and re s tore it as it
was -over a century ago and
to fill it with all antique fu rn ­iture
of this period attainable.
The c o m in i 11 e e also
throughly explored th e poss­ibility
of constructing a ,2-
story fireproof building a t the
re a r of the porperty, when
funds of the new Foundation
justify. This building would
house both a historical muse­um
and a public library and
would have an entrance lead­ing
to Main Street.
By s ta r tin g out restoring
the Wissler Porperty, there i3
a strong likelihood th a t the
Foundation will be able to
have the museum made a
state - sponsored o n e with
funds available from the s ta te
for this purpose, the commit­tee
members asserted. Funds
already are available for com­munities
which have the r ight
setting an d which agree to
follow state specifications, it
was said.
The official decision of the
group may be reached a t the
next meeting Tuesday evening
in the Recreation Center, pro­viding
the cha rte r for the
Foundation has been granted
bv then.
Feels Zoning Here
Should Be Stricter
The tables were tu rn ed on
the Zoning Ordinance Th u r s ­day
n ig h t when Robert Derek,
local engineer, rose in the
planning commission meeting
and questioned whe the r the
zoning regulations were strict
enough in regard to the pro­posed
Sutter Village project.
Derek a rgued th a t anytime
anyone fits 628 families into
118 acres of land th a t the
land value will decrease and
th a t it will pull the su r ro u n d ­ing
areas down with it.
“Why can’t the planning
commission really plan this
area and ju s t tell these people
th a t they can’t make th a t high
a dens ity project th e r e .” .
Derek stated. ,
Garth Becker, planning
commission, chairman, explain­ed
to Derek th a t the planning
commission could only enforce
those regulations already in
effect in th e borough.
“ You may feel th a t the lots
are going to be too small but
they do comply with the zon­ing
regulations for an R1 area
which this is. We have made
sure tha t the development will
have storm sewerage and tha t
the s treets and homes will
comply as well as possible with
the. already-developed su r ­rounding
area.
“That is as far as our pow­er
goes. As long as a man com­plies
. with the regulations we
c an ’t tell him he can’t build
on his land, and this man so
far is complying with the reg­ulations
,” Becker concluded.
Sutter Village is a proposed
housing development, com­plete
with shopping center, to
be built in the southwes t sec-
