Lancaster County Planning Director C Bilkley Foster warned conservationists that urban sprawl burdens farmers. He warned of limestone geology causing cave-ins and sewage problems, urged an immediate county plan, and noted 55 percent limestone terrain with poor water supplies.
Foster said Berks County planners found a house must cost $1,800 to pay its way in taxes. He urged farmers to decide county goals and push zoning laws to achieve them. Lancaster County is balanced but taxes are levied township by township. He noted farmers often resist zoning.
