Part Of Flood Control Plan Mini-Parks Along Streams Would Enhance Lititz Life The severe flooding of recent years has given new urgency to the passage of the flood plain ordinance that is under consideration by Borough Council.

Schedules may be picked up between the hours of 8 a.m. -12 noon and lp.m.-3:30 p.m. Students with the last name initials of A-G are requested to see Mrs. Hearon; H-Q, Mr. Palkovic; and R-Z Mrs. Hamsher. retaining these lands for public use. Since the lands edging the streams are not suitable for any kind of residential or industrial development because of their susceptibility to flooding, the commission would like to see these lands cleared and maintained as parklike areas improved with attractive walking or bicycling paths and benches for the community to enjoy. This idea is one whose time has surely come. But, it needs the backing of the people of Lititz and implementation by Borough Council to be put into operation. “Open space is desireable in any community and an ideal use for these marginal lands is to set them aside for recreation,” explained Arline Shannon, vice president of the Planning Commission. On a recent tour of the streams in question, Mrs. Shannon pointed out the areas that might be used for such a project and some of the areas that are now being maintained by the industries that own the lands for the enjoyment of their employees and the public. The idea of park areas along streams was incorporated in the 1960 “Comprehensive Plan of Lititz, Pa.” Under the land use plan of Guides for the Future, the Plan recommended “the development of a strip of land along the Lititz Run between E. Main Street and the railroad. This would be used for passive 'rebfCaiitipft'.”' ", Since then, the only area where the plan was implemented was the Sertoma Park development. This park is an outstanding success and is much admired and used by the people of the area. Like all important and complicated projects, this proposed strip-park plan has some problems that must be solved. “It’s a matter of making a s ta r t , then gradually building it up,” Mrs. Shannon said. “If we never begin, it will still be the same 20 years from now.” Some problems are: —Acquiring the land. Some of these lands are already owned by the borough, but much of the land along the streams is privately owned. —Maintenance. A big question but crucial to the successful utilization of the land. This includes mowing the grass and keeping the streams clean. —E con om ic s. Maintenance is expensive, but essential to preserving the natural beauty of the lands bordering the streams. A c co rd in g to M rs. Shannon, these problems all have solutions well within the capabilities of Borough Council and the people of Lititz — working together. (Turn to Page 2) Warwick Twp. Supervisors Defer Rezoning Decision On Conservation District After hearing statements concerning the rezoning of a conservation district to rural made by approximately 30 persons in attendance at a special hearing at the W a rw ick Township Supervisors meeting last Thursday night, the supervisors moved to defer the decision on the rezoning issue. A decision must be made within 60 days from July 26 but the supervisors are hopeful that it can be made at the next meeting on August 23. The 170 acres in question, which includes the township’s entire conservation zone, is between Lititz Borough and Penn Township along the north and south sides of the Conrail freight line. The conservation district was established in 1976 to protect the quality and quantity of Lititz Borough’s public water supply at Lititz Springs. Five of the seven owners of the plot, which serves as a joint watershed-recharge area for Warwick Township and the Borough of Lititz, are asking that the tract be rezoned to rural in order to increase the land’s value. In land zoned as a conservation district, only one single-family dwelling may be built for 25 acres. In a rurally-zoned area, one single family dwelling may be built for each 45,000 squre feet of land (a little over an acre). Owners of the tract p re sen tly under consideration for rezoning include private owners Amos Shenk, Abe Witmer, Howard Martin, Donald Sensenig and Warren Buch. Industries owning land in the tract are Cellu Products Corporation and Babcock Hatcheries Inc. The watershed-recharge area adjoins Penn Township, Lititz Borough, Warwick School District and Warner- Lambert Inc.

Penryn Mother of 2 Killed in Crash General Sutter Inn Reviewed By State Historical Commission Doris E. Rohrer, 32, wife of Ray J . Rohrer, Penryn, and m o th e r of two children, was fatally injured in a head-on collision Saturday afternoon. According to S ta te Trooper Wayne Canfield, the crash occured at 12:30 p.m. in Penn Township, two miles south of Penryn. Mrs. Rohrer was reportedly traveling alone when her southbound car failed to negotiate a curve and crossed the center of the road colliding head-on with a car operated by Sandra J . Whittemore, 33, of 253 Cherry St., Manheim. Mrs. Rohrer was pronounced dead at the hospital at 2:07 p.m. A passenger in the Whittemore car, Barbara Weaver, 36, of S. Charlotte Street, Manheim, was admitted to L a n c a s te r Osteopathic Hospital where she was listed Sunday night in satisfactory condition. M rs . W h it tem o r e ’ s husband, Robert, 39, and a son, Robert, 10, were treated at the hospital for minor injuries and released. Mrs. Weaver’s child, Terry, 12, was treated for a bruised forehead and released. Born in Lancaster, Mrs. Rohrer was the daughter of Alvin H. and Eva Umble Nesinger, Penryn. She was employed as a banquet cook a t E n c k ’ s F am ily Restaurant, Manheim. She was a 1964 graduate of Manheim Central High School and was a member of Ruhl’s United Methodist Church. She was also a member of the Manheim Fire Company and was a charter member of the Lancaster County Firemen’s Association Auxiliary.

She is also survived by three sisters, Donna, wife of Walter Burkhart, Manheim R3; Deborah, wife of David Linard , Penryn, and Dorothy Nesinger, Penryn. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at the Buch Funeral Home, 21 Market Square, Manheim. Interment was in Ruhl’s United Methodist Cemetery. By J e nnifer Shenk State Historic Preservation Officer Ed Wein-traub, of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, visited Lititz last Thursday to review the General Sutter Inn for possible inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Weintraub reviewed the eligibility of the building for admission to the National Register at the invitation of the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. According to Weintraub, the General Sutter Inn is important in that it is one of the few places in Lancaster County where a functioning hotel has been situated for more than 200 years. The inn was awarded a historic marker by the Historic Preservation Trust several years ago. According to John J . Snyder J r ., Architectural Historian for the Historic Preservation Trust, the General Sutter Inn was originally a log inn, called the Anchor, owned by the Moravian community. It was built on the eastern site of the present structure about 1762 and was mentioned as the “new inn” in 1764. In 1803, a two story brick addition was constructed at the west end. Finally in 1848, the building was enlarged to its present scale and three story height. The corbelled brick cornice, second and third story windows, and most of the visible external brick walls date from this period. Originally, the 1848 building had a two-story - gallery facing the street. About 1930 the first floor facade was altered and the enclosed porch and ballroom added. Between 1803 and 1822, the inn was managed by Christian Hall, then a noted clockmaker. It was sold “under the lease” in 1852 to Samuel L ich ten th a le r. Finally, it was sold outright by the Moravian community in 1868 to George T. Greider. The Inn is currently owned and operated by James and Alice Constantine. “ Working with the Historic Preservation Trust and the Constantines, we’re going to take the steps necessary to nominate the Sutter Inn to the National Register,” Weintraub said. “In six months, if successful, it will be listed in Washington.” The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the country’s cultural re sou rc e s worthy of preservation. Listing in the National Register makes private property owners eligible for Federal grants-in- aid for historic preservation through S ta te programs; makes owners who rehabilitate certified historic properties eligible for Federal tax benefits; and provides protection by requiring comment from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation on the effect of federally assisted projects on these resources. Weintraub said that the General Sutter Inn serves as a “paperweight” in this historical district, and its continuing use is fundamental in “preserving a historic way of life.” Ed Weintraub (second from right), of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, recently reviewed the General Sutter Inn for possible inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
