At the July 1st East Vincent Township Board of Supervisors' Meeting, Chairman John Funk and Supervisor Mark Dunphy approved the proposed zoning amendment which allowed Mr. Paul Bucco's Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) to move forward to the Planning Commission. Vice-Chair McNeil voted "no." The location of this CCRC is being considered for the Ruth Tract which is located on Stoney Run Road across for Kolb's Meats. Originally, Mr. Bucco wanted to build this CCRC on the Latshaw Tract which is located on West Bridge Street. The Latshaw Tract is in the Stoney Run Watershed. Last year, Chairman Funk and Vice-Chair McNeil felt the CCRC on the Latshaw Tract (West Bridge Street) would be worth considering after Mr. Bucco had downsized the buildings from several 6-7 foot story buildings to 2-3 foot story buildings spread throughout the tract.

The Board let the resident know that they are aware of the situation and have been told that the school district wants the lot line changed first.
