Chadds Ford in brief

Chadds Ford Township supervisors Wednesday night held a brief hearing for, then voted in favor of an updated stormwater management plan. Ordinance 175 repeals and replaces the current ordinance.

Township solicitor Mike Maddren said the updated ordinance changes several definitions used in the earlier ordinance, and engineer Mike Schneider said it provides for several waivers and exemptions.

The board also voted to advertise for the 2024 Road Program. Roads scheduled for work this year are Summit Drive, Longview Road, Oakland Road, Southview Path, and Woodland Drive.

Supervisors approved a request from Calvary Chapel for several outdoor worship events from May through July. Eric Gartner, a Harvey Lane resident had been critical of events at Calvary in the past because of noise and trespass issues but said during the May 1 meeting that he supports Calvary’s request because the church has been successful in stopping those violations.

Some upgrades are coming to the township’s municipal building. Supervisors voted to spend up to $7,773 to replace the air conditioning unit at Turner’s Mill, and township Manager Lacey Faber said the audio-visual upgrade in the meeting room will be complete within a few days. It should be finished on Monday, May 6. The upgrade is planned to improve the sound quality for people who watch a meeting on Zoom and for those attending in person. J. L. Entertainment of Exton will do the work for $21,000.

Supervisors are expected to vote during their May 29 workshop on whether to allow Willowdale Holistic Center in Olde Ridge Village to have a massage therapist.
