• Birmingham Township supervisors adopted a new cable franchise ordinance for its agreement with Comcast Cable. No figures were discussed, but Supervisors’ Chairman John Conklin said before the session that Comcast would increase its payment to the township to 5 percent. The company now pays 3 percent. Comcast will also pay the township a signing fee of $6,195. Conklin also said he didn’t know what changes there would be to subscribers’ bills, and the ordinance does not mention charges to customers. The new ordinance follows an agreement negotiated between Comcast and 13 different townships, Conklin said.
• Supervisors voted to support a request for a zoning variance made by the Clark family who have purchased the property at 1045 Birmingham Road. Attorney Brian Nagle said his clients want to renovate and upgrade the property, but to do so requires them to build a garage within the 200-foot front yard setback. The garage can’t go in the back of the house because of a septic system. The Clarks are scheduled to go before the Zoning Hearing Board on June 13.
