TDR/OSDO Ordinance Amendment Meeting Announced

Dear Fellow East Vincent Residents and Neighboring Residents,

The Transfer of Development Rights/Open Space Design Option Ordinance Amendment, Residential Density Multiplier Public Workshop Meeting is definitely scheduled for Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at the East Vincent Township Municipal Building located on 262 Ridge Road, Spring City.

This TDR/OSDO Ordinance Amendment, RDM, will shift all major residential development north of the power lines and will also include bonus residential development--- also shifted north of the power lines. The impact of this TDR/OSDO, RDM Amendment will be felt throughout East Vincent Township and all residents of our township will experience higher taxes in order to support the demand placed upon the Owen J. Roberts School District and to support the increased utility and infrastructure demands. Traffic congestion as a result of this increased residential density will not isolate itself north of the power lines and will creep onto back roads south of the power lines too.

If there is any meeting to attend, let this be the one. Please come out on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. to voice your concerns about this increased residential density amendment, including the bonus density, all north of the power lines, which will impact all East Vincent Township residents as well as neighboring township residents.

This is your opportunity to let your elected officials know you wish to preserve the rural character of East Vincent Township throughout our township and to stop this density increase which will have a profound impact on all East Vincent Township residents in one way or the other.

Yours in a Balanced East Vincent Township,
The Informed East Vincent Residents Group
