Birmingham Township supervisors
will vote Dec. 19 on a 2012 budget, a budget that keeps taxes where they are.
The board voted Nov. 21 to advertise the spending plan and set the date for the
vote.
The budget anticipates revenues
of $1,806,000 and expenses of $1,339,000. There is also more than $575,000
being carried over into next year.
In addition to no increase in
township taxes, there will be no tax anticipation note taken out, according to
Township Secretary Quina Nelling.
Other business
The board agreed to support the
zoning variance request at Radley Run Country Club to turn the mansion and
cottage house into guest facilities.
A total of 12 guest rooms, 11
in the mansion and one in the cottage, would be made available.
The one-acre parcel is located
within the country club property. There will be no external construction, just
some internal renovations for the two buildings, according to Brian Nagle, the
applicant’s attorney.
“There will be no changes to
the property at all other than the renovation and restoration of the mansion
house and cottage for use as a guest house,” Nagle said.
The only changes to the
exterior, he said, might be a fire escape and a ramp to satisfy requirements of
the Americans with Disability Act.
“We don’t know for sure, yet,”
he said.
Supervisors John Conklin and
Bill Kirkpatrick agreed to support the request with a letter to the Zoning
Hearing Board. Supervisor Al Bush was absent.
The zoning hearing is scheduled
for 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.
