Mr. McClintock reported that State Representative, Matt Dolan will be the guest speaker at the August 4^th Zoning Commission meeting.  He will be here to discuss issues at the state house that deal with land use and zoning that may affect Hambden Township in the future.

Mr. McClintock reported that Senator Tim Grendell sent a preliminary draft of Chapter 3718, new legislation being proposed for sewage treatment systems that will have an impact on the residents of Hambden Township.  The new bill requires annual inspection of sewer systems and does away with point of sale inspections.  The cost range of the new systems is estimated between $6,500.00 and $19,000.00 depending on the type of system.  More than likely we are looking at the higher cost due to the heavy clay soil in our area.  Mr. Grendell is working to get some of these items removed to protect our property rights.

Mr. McClintock reported that the Comprehensive Land Use Planning Committee will not be meeting during the month of August.  In September they will be submitting to the trustee's survey recommendations they would like to send out to the community.
