It was a relatively short meeting on July 6 with little decision-making. Chadds Ford Township Manager Matt Baumann announced that as of Aug. 1, all sewer and well applications will no longer be handled through the township. Rather, those applications will be handled by the Delaware County Health Department. Supervisor Noelle Barbone said Chester County has been doing things that way for years.
The supervisors did vote to approve Resolution 2023-18, the Delaware County 2019 Hazard Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation Plan Update. According to solicitor Mike Maddren, adopting the resolution allows the township to apply for hazard mitigation funds. Barbone said that includes flood mitigation and infrastructure.
Barbone later announced that the Brandywine Conservancy will be going to the Zoning Hearing Board on July 20 for relief to restore the ground floor of the museum following the 2021 flooding from Hurricane Ida.
The Planning Commission will meet on July 12. The commission is again scheduled to hear a plan for a proposed Hyundai and Genesis car dealership along Route 202.
