IMAGE PROVIDED Engineers with Dewberry Engineers, working with ILK Family LLC, provided planning officials with a map, outlining where townhomes could potentially go in orange, duplexes in yellow and single-family homes in purple.

Hughesville Borough officials once again received questions about a housing development in the community and neighboring Wolf Township.

And once again, the response to concerned citizens was that nothing has been approved with the plan.

David Brown, who lives near the property northwest of Bodine Park, said he’s mostly worried about water runoff from additional homes.

“There is a reason this property hasn’t been developed … because it’s a swamp,” he said.

Brown suggested the borough engineer have a look at the land.

Councilman Dan Cale said water runoff is a matter to seriously consider.

“You are not alone,” he said. “Everyone on borough council has the same concerns.”

Council President Andrew Mook made it clear that the development remains in the preliminary planning stages.

Borough solicitor Scott Williams explained that the housing plan must comply with land development and subdivision ordinances.

In addition, the developer must submit a stormwater plan that will show water flowing no faster or in greater quantity than now is occurring at the property.

Brown noted he has a petition with 200 signatures opposed to the housing plan.

Teri Lauchle, of Muncy Township, said residents need to know more details about the development.

Plans call for construction of 130 units, including 80 townhouses, 24 duplexes, and 26 single-family dwellings.

ILK Family, LLC obtained a housing initiative grant with Lycoming County for the development most of which would be in Wolf Township.

In other matters, council vote to send letters to owners of properties located in designated areas of the borough scheduled for the next rounds of sidewalk replacements or upgrades.

A sidewalk ordinance requires sidewalks to meet certain specifications.

Borough officials noted that various property owners scheduled previously to take steps to either upgrade or replace sidewalks failed to do so.

Council voted to ratify an ordinance requiring residents to attain permits before making curb cuts for driveway access to their properties.

Council approved a proposal of $1,271 from Anchor Air for boiler repair work at the borough building.

Borough officials discussed the next steps in dealing with codes violations at various properties. A few properties, it was noted, are abandoned, in disrepair, or in need of cleanup.

Council met in executive session to consider personnel and other matters.

The next council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Monday, April 14 at the municipal building.
