for the construction and assessment of Sanitary Sewers
for homes listed on Exhibit A.
Commissioner Turco asked why isn’t 300 Edge Hill
Road listed.
Mike Powers stated 300 Edge Hill Road isn’t listed
because they will not be assessed. He said they had
previously been assessed.
Patricia Carroll, 322 Edge Hill Road asked if there’s
going to be a meeting held to discuss the price of the
work being done.
Mike Powers stated only residents wanting sewers are
being assessed at this time.
Mrs. Carroll asked would residents get a notice when
assessments are going to be made so she can get on the
list. She also asked what does she need to do to get
her name on the list.
Mike Powers told Mrs. Carroll to send him a letter
with her request.
Commissioner Ferrara stated when the sewer projects
in her ward were done the price was much lower than
the original estimated. She also asked if price includes
the tap-in- fee.
Mike Power stated the cost does include the tap-in-fee.
Commissioner Turco asked what is the time frame for
signing up.
Mike Powers said there is no time frame.
Victoria Costanzo, 426 Edge Hill Road stated she has
some of the same concerns as her neighbors. She wanted
to know how the sewer would be attached and who has
to pay for the repairs.
Mike Powers stated the sewers are attached from the
rear of the property and whatever the Township disturbs
they will repair.
Commissioner Wachter urged residents not to get rid
of the dirt left behind from sewer work because when
dirt settles you will have a big hole. He said if you
have it hauled away you will be charged and it will
cost a lot more to have dirt hauled back to fill the
hole.
Marcia Wallach, 300 Edge Hill Road asked when would
she see a plan for this work.
Mike Powers stated she should see a plan within a couple
of weeks.
Mrs. Wallach said she should not have to pay for trees
to be removed in order for her neighbors to be attached
to the sewer system.
Commissioner Ferrara stated Mike Powers and Tim Clark
would work with homeowners to avoid these types of situations.
She also assured Mrs. Wallach she would be comfortable
with the work the Township is doing.
Mike Powers stated residents would be notified before
the work is started.
Commissioner Ferrara stated a Public Hearing, has to
be held before any work can be started.

Tuesday to transfer an existing restaurant liquor
license from outside of Abington Township to their new
location on the third level of the Willow Grove Park
Mall.
Commissioner Ferrara called on Solicitor Rex Herder
to explain why this hearing is being held and a Resolution
has to be adopted.
Rex Herder stated there has been a change in the Pennsylvania
liquor code, which requires municipalities to hold a
hearing and adopt a resolution anytime a liquor license
from the outside of the municipality is being considered.
Rex Herder circulated a memorandum.
R.J. O’Hara, Attorney for Ruby Tuesday’s
explained why the company went outside of the Township
to obtain their liquor license. He stated the restaurant
would have about
90 employees and will seat 250 people. Liquor will
complement the food they serve. The restaurant is very
family oriented, with primary service on food not liquor.
Eric Payne, Director of Operations stated the Corporation
has a five-day training program for the employees that
serve food and alcohol. He said while in training there
is one and a half to two days spent on the handling
of liquor. There’s a safety video shown and they
must attend an alcohol awareness class.
Mr. O’Hara spoke on the laws that have been passed
and the penalties for not abiding by them in regards
to serving alcohol.
Commissioner Turco asked if servers have to be 21 years
of age.
Mr. O’Hara stated in Pennsylvania servers only
need to be 18 to serve alcohol.
Commissioner Luker asked what the difference is between
corporate owned and individually owned.
Mr. O’Hara stated that all restaurants are corporate
owned and few individuals can purchase a franchise from
Ruby Tuesday’s Inc.
Mr. O’Hara stated whether corporate or franchise
all rules are the same.
Commissioner Ferrara made a MOTION, seconded by Commissioner
Turco to close Public Hearing.
MOTION was ADOPTED 15-0
Land Development LD-01-04 Abington Heritage Partners,
LLC and Somerford Place
Commissioner Agostine made a MOTION,
seconded by Commissioner Luker to approve the Subdivision
and Land Development application of Abington Heritage
Partners, LLC and Somerford Place, as prepared by Nave
Newell, Engineers. Applicant proposes to construct a
one-story, 64-bed Alzheimer facility on 5.036 acres.
Applicant proposes a tree-save area and all of the required
landscaped buffers. The property will be subdivided
from 710 Fox Chase Road. The site is situated on the
south side of Forrest Avenue, zoned in the (CS) Community
Service District in Ward 3.
Motion is subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall install a pedestrian walkway from
the entrance of the proposed facility across Forrest
Avenue to the entrance of Alverthorpe Park. The walkway
will be signalized on demand, with a blinking yellow
light.
The applicant will dedicate ultimate right-of-way from
the proposed facility along Forrest Avenue to Fox Chase
Road and from Fox Chase Road along Cedar Road to St.
Mary’s Cemetery.
The applicant will construct full street improvements
from the subject facility along Forrest Avenue to Fox
Chase Road.
Peter Friedman Esq., 7848 Old York
Road, representing Somerford stated there was uncontroversial
testimony the last time he was here. He gave a general
overview of the plan. He stated Abington Township has
attached three conditions that must be met before Somerford
Land Development can obtain their approval:
Full street improvements
A right of way on Cedar Avenue
and Forrest Avenue
Signalized crosswalks
Commissioner Ring suggested all responses
should be given by the Township Solicitor since Mr.
Friedman was there representing Somerford.
Mr. Friedman stated assuming the Board
doesn’t accept what he has said Somerford is requesting
an alternative wavier of the three conditions mentioned
in the motion. All three conditions would be a hardship
for the applicant to implement. He said the granting
of the waivers would not be contrary to the public interest
or contrary to the purpose or intent of the Township
ordinance. Somerford is being required to install sidewalks
on land that they do not own and also dedicate a right-of-way
on land it does not own. The Fair Housing Act provides
that a refusal to make reasonable accommodation in the
rules, policies, practices or service for handicapped
people is an act of discrimination and a violation of
law. Mr. Friedman stated the presentation tonight would
consist of three witnesses. Mr. Don Feltman, Senior
Vice President of Somerford, Bill Roundtree, Project
Engineer, and Frank Montgomery, Traffic Planning and
Design Inc.
Rex Herder stated by the terms of the
motion, Somerford has the approval and he feels there
is no purpose for a presentation to the Board.
Mr. Feltman gave a general overview
of the plans for the facility and stated the residents
from the facility would not be walking on nearby sidewalks.
Mr. Friedman stated he has several
items he would like to have marked into evidence. The
exhibits are as follows:
A-1 – The Application
A-2 – The Land Developing Plan
A-3 – The Staff Review Letter
dated July 16, 2001
A-4 – Mr. Zaleskie’s Letter
dated September 4, 2001
A-5 – Rex Herder’s Letter
dated September 10, 2001
A-6 – The Rendering of the proposed
Somerford building
Mr. Feltman stated if the three conditions
are approved it would kill the project.
Mr. Freidman asked Mr. Feltman to summarize
the benefits of the Somerford facility for the Abington
community.
Rex Herder stated Somerford is the
applicant and the Sisters are the owners of the property.
He asked Mr. Roundtree if they were here asking for
a Subdivision. He also asked Mr. Roundtree if he is
familiar with the Subdivision Ordinance of the Township.
Commissioner DeVore asked Mr. Feltman
why he repeatedly uses the words Frail and Elderly.
He asked if Somerford would discriminate against individuals
based on age.
Mr. Feltman stated "No"
Commissioner Agostine asked what is
the particular issue with the driveway that Mr. Feltman
suggested the residents not walk down.
Mr. Feltman stated he suggested that
the residents not walk down the sidewalk because they
may become very tired and there aren’t any benches
where they could sit to rest.
Mr. Feltman stated Somerford can’t
meet the needs of every community but they would like
to meet the need in this community.
Commissioner Myers asked if the facility
would be limited to Abington Township residents and
would Abington Township have first preference at the
facility.
Mr. Feltman stated "No" because
that would be discrimination and also that’s against
the law.
Commissioner Kretschman asked if the
staff would not be taking the residents out of the facility.
Mr. Feltman stated the staff could
take the residents out to a secured area. He also said
they can’t restrict a visitor from taking a family
member out.
Commissioner Kretschman asked if they
selected this section of Abington because it’s
a nice area.
Mr. Feltman stated this area has been
chosen because of the need for this type of facility.
William Roundtree, 550 American Avenue,
King of Prussia stated Plan No. 0601-81601 has been
revised. Exhibit A-7 dedicates right-of-way and sidewalks
at an estimated cost of $150,000 if the Township imposed
full street improvements.
Mr. Frank Montgomery had the following
exhibits marked as evidence.
A-8 – Comment Letter from Mark
Penecale to Peter Friedman Esq, dated January 7, 2001.
A-9 – Comment Letter from Mark
Penecale to Peter Friedman Esq, dated September 20,
2001.
A-10 – Montgomery County Planning
Commission
A-11 – Traffic Planning and Design
Inc. report
Mr. Montgomery stated the site would
generate a very minimum number of pedestrians.
Commissioner Ferrara asked Larry Matteo
what is the number of employees that use public transportation
in the Township.
Larry Matteo called a few nursing homes
in the area to get an idea on the number of employees
who use public transportation. He ascertained that there
is a need for sidewalks. He received the following information
from the nursing homes: Roslyn Nursing Home has 130
employees with 45% of their employees using public transportation;

their employees using public transportation; and Township

also needed for the safety of the community.
