ADAMS TWP — Though Discovery Christian Church's plans to take over the Lightning Bug property were tabled Wednesday night until representatives can provide a more “concentrated submission,” Adams Township Planning Commissioners gave the OK for the church's permitted use.

Township Solicitor Sean Gallagher reported he reviewed information submitted by the church to take over the property along Scharberry Lane.

Congregants approached both the planning commission and township supervisors this summer asking for permitted use for the property, which is an entertainment center.

“It's our recommendation that you move to approve the permitted use,” Gallagher said. “And then we can catch the zoning or the overlay ordinance up.”

The church's application will be reviewed as a change-of-use application in preparation for a minor land development.

Township Engineer Ron Olsen advised church representatives to also review the plan's property owner association guidelines.

“You don't want to go to all this expense and then find out that for some reason the building doesn't meet the covenants,” Olsen said.

Representatives must now begin completing the plan application.

“Good luck,” Gallagher said.

Steve Victor, of Victor-Wetzel Associates, represented the Meadow Point PRD before the planning commission.The planned residential development was up for final approval after geotechnical reports and homeowners association documents were submitted to the township.“Both those have been completed,” Victor said.Olsen said he wasn't able to find copies of cross-sections within the plan.“I don't have any record of getting them,” Olsen said.Victor said the cross-sections were added to the plan drawing and should have been submitted. He said getting them to the township was a simple matter.Olsen also said there is a problem with the homeowners protective covenant.“I think there is a significant issue,” Olsen said.Gallagher said the agreement doesn't provide for the dissolution of the HOA: The covenant does not stipulate who is responsible for spaces in the development if the HOA dissolves. (Usually, an HOA can dissolve if two-thirds of the lot members vote to do so when the HOA is up for renewal.)“You provide no information as to how the open space would be distributed,” Gallagher said.Victor said the problem could be addressed.“We're not in disagreement,” Victor said. “I think it's just a matter of finding the appropriate language between the attorneys.”Commissioners explained they were inclined to table the PRD until the issues are resolved. They said they want every detail sorted through before the plan goes before township supervisors.“Sometimes we've been chastised for not having everything done to the letter,” said Martin Mc-Kinney, commission chairman. “This detail in the covenant, it's a hole, but I don't know how fast you can plug it.”Victor said it was a matter of having his attorney address the issue.Supervisors asked that final approval be tabled until the cross-section and HOA “holes” are fixed.“You've come a long way,” McKinney said. “It's cleaner if we've got all our I's dotted and T's crossed.”The PRD was tabled and extended until Nov. 26.
