Testifying before council, Steve Dellinger of Hanover Engineering explained that the zoning ordinance only allows a home located in a forest residential zoning district to be used as a guest house or bed and breakfast if the property owner requests a conditional use hearing and if the council approves the use.
He added that one of the listed requirements for a guest house is that the property must have public water and sewer facilities. The property in question does not meet that requirement.
Borough resident Stan Alekna noted that Section 14-2604 of the Code of Ordinances requires an applicant for a conditional use to prove that the proposed use will not detract from the use and enjoyment of adjoining or nearby properties.
Cornwall Borough Council agreed to help the Community Fire Company of Cornwall Borough to purchase a used $500,000 aerial truck.
The 2012 Pierce aerial truck will replace the fire company s 1997 E-One (Emergency One) aerial ladder truck. Tobyhanna Township Volunteer Fire Company is purchasing a new truck and selling its vehicle - with 11,000 miles on it.
Council President John Karinch said the council s finance committee learned that parts were no longer available to make repairs to the ladder and the pump on the E-One truck, according to a repair facility that specializes in fire equipment. He said the fire company has $95,000 to use for a down payment on the used Pierce truck and is willing to apply for a $200,000 loan from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, leaving a balance due of $205,000.

He’s far from alone.
