The existing Linden Hall Stables were cause for complaint at the October
Borough Council meeting. Residents appealing the move of the stable to a site
near Locust and Marion Streets, this week saw the case remanded to the Zoning
Hearing Board for another hearing.
Linden Hall Stable Case
Remanded To ZHB
The residents of East
„Marion and Locust Streets
who are trying to pre vent the
Linden Hall stables from
being moved from their
present location, had their
first appeal heard and Judge
R ic h a rd D. E ckm an
remanded the case to the
Litifz Zoning Hearing Board
(ZHB) for another hearing,
A stenographic record must
be provided at the expense of
the ZHB.
The r e s id e n ts a r e
represented in their appeal
against the ZHB’s July
decision to grant a special
exception to Linden Hall to
move the stables, by at­torney
William C. Crosswell.
Linden Hall began seeking
a special exception to the
Zoning Ordinance in early
June, in July the ZHB voted
two to one, to grant the
special exception and the
residents started their ap­peal,
one of the con­siderations
of which was that
the prospect location of the
stable as advertised prior to
the June meeting did not
coincide with the location
considered and approved by
the ZHB.
The o rig in a l a d ­v
ertisem en t proposed
location of a new stable and
indoor arena approximately
100 feet from South Locust
Street and 300 feet from East
Marion Street. The siteistudy
and plan presented by
Robert Derek, Land Plan­ning
Consultant to linden
Hall, at the June 2 meeting
listed placement of stables
some 220 feet from Marion
Street and 600 feet from
Locust.
Residents are concerned
about stable odor, sanitation
and upkeep.
During the open session of
the October lititz Borough
Council meeting, a com­plaint
about the existing
Linden Hall stable was
registered. The complaint
stated that there were only
two horses in the stable and
that a large pile of manure
had not been moved for some
time.
By a unanimous vote, the
Warwick Township Board of
Supervisors Thursday
elected to ask the township
solicitor to prepare a
resolution asking for a five-member
board for the
supervisors’ consideration
at their next regularly
scheduled meeting.
Should the supervisors
adopt the. resolution, the
soonest it would be on the
ballot would be in Novem­ber,
1981. Two new super­visors
would then be voted
on in the November 1982
election. If the new super­visors
are elected in a
general election, one term
would be for three years and
the other term for five
years; if elected in a
municipal election, one term
would be for four years and
the other for six years.
In other business the
supervisors held a public
hearing for input for the
Revenue Sharing Funds for
1981. If approved, the fund
would be close to $30,000.
Robert Sharkey suggested
the money be applied
towards the sewer project.
Since Federal Revenue
monies must be spent for an
item in the General Fund,
the sewer project is not
eligible. In the past, the
money was put into the
Police Department Budget.
A request was made from
the floor by Sharkey at 7:40
p.m. that the minutes be
read aloud. The supervisors
granted his request and at
8:01 p.m. continued with the
proposed corrections of the
minutes. The minutes of
Sept. 25 were approved by a
vote of two to one.
In other business, the
supervisors:
• Signed a mylar for John
Kurtz, Briar Hill Estates.
• Heard complaints from
Howard Snoke concerning a
pile of junk at Skyview and
Rothsville Road, and the
condition of railroad tracks
on the New Rothsville Road.
He also complained about
the condition of the road at
Meadow Valley and Millway
Road. The supervisors said
they would contact Penn-
DOT concerning the railroad
tracks but would have to
notify Ephrata Township
