First Posted: 6/3/2013 DORRANCE TWP. &#8212; Pennsy Supply Inc. saw two decisions go its way at Monday&#8217;s meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
On a motion made by Supervisor Royce Engler, the board voted unanimously to accept the final development plan submitted by Pennsy for the re-location and expansion of its quarry operation on Small Mountain Road. Board Chairman Gary Zane and Supervisor Bill Wengrzynek joined Engler in the voting to approve the motion.
The supervisors were acting on a recommendation submitted by the township Planning Commission, which, after a May 15 meeting, recommended the company&#8217;s plan be approved.
But Kevin Casey, a Small Mountain Road resident, has filed an appeal in Luzerne County Court to halt the proposed project. At Monday&#8217;s meeting, Casey said his challenge is &#8220;moving forward.&#8221;
He said documents on the hearing process conducted in 2012 have been provided to the court.
Pennsy also saw its bid of $66,591 accepted for a paving project on St. Mary&#8217;s Road. Out of six bidders, Pennsy was low by more than $7,000.
In other business:
&#8226; On the recommendation of solicitor James Schneider, the supervisors delayed acting on the Button Land Development plan. Schneider cited issues related to surface water and storm water systems.
&#8226; Keith Hazlak of Stairville Road, who in May complained about noise created by Mountain Express Trucking, once again appealed to supervisors for relief. Zane told Hazlak that Alan Snelson, zoning officer, is working on it but the supervisors also have to follow existing ordinances.
&#8226; Supervisors said the spring cleanup resulted in a $473.30 loss to the township. 
The next public meeting is on July 1 at 7 p.m.
