Birmingham in brief
Birmingham Township supervisors made two appointments and acted on three Historic and Architectural Review Board recommendations during the April 3 meeting. One of those HARB recommendations dovetailed with a report from the township’s Historical Commission.
Former Supervisor Bill Kirkpatrick was appointed a Zoning Hearing Board alternate to serve through 2025. Stanley Benarik was named to the Recreation, Parks, and Open Space Committee. He’ll serve through the end of this year.
At the recommendation of the HARB, the board granted certificates of appropriateness for a screened-in porch over an existing deck at 1120 Alexander Lane and for an inground swimming pool at 934 Stoney Run Drive. Supervisors also accepted the recommendations from the Historical Commission and HARB for a pergola at the Montessori School on Birmingham Road.
A pergola is defined as an archway in a garden or park consisting of a framework covered with trained climbing or trailing plants. A condition in the supervisors’ approval is that the framework be natural wood with no paint.
