Township Backs Fees Debate For Agricultural Protection Area
Butler Township supervisors wrestle with who pays the 3 per landowner filing fee for an Agricultural Protection Area to shield farms from development. The planning commission may also owe a filing fee to register the zone with Adams County. Residents Wolf and others argue the benefit is private, while Dr. Barry Towers notes the zone aids supervisors and state security rules. Also discussed are floodplain issues near Route 34 affecting Speeringer and Pele who seek refunds for land bought unaware of floodplain designations.
