You have got to be kidding. PASD will lose because the law is on the side of the township. I hope I am wrong because I am sick of others wasting taxpayer money. At least the lawyers in this case are making money.

"During the recession construction was relatively inexpensive." Really??? Lower cost maybe, but, inexpensive? Are you kidding? Never!

Outrage should be directed at PASD for continuing to waste taxpayer money, not the East Pikeland Zoning Board or neighbors. The ruling by East Pikeland may have been a surprise to PASD, but should not have been to anyone who knows a smidgeon about zoning. The proposed plans for East Pikeland were essentially outrageous from a zoning perspective from the get-go, and neighbors repeatedly told PASD the same. Compromise was offered on several occassions by the neighbors to have the basic size of the plan reduced, but refused and dismissed by PASD. The basic requirement for the zoning district is no more than 20% impervious cover. The current school is already in non-conformance to that with 23% impervious cover, and there is precedence that when major renovations/rebuilding are performed on a non-conforming site, the goal is to get the site into conformance, not worsen the non-conformity by proposing a plan with 41% impervious cover. There are many other major issues with the proposed plan that simply could not be approved by the most liberal of boards. PASD has to realize major real compromise and reductions in the plan or find another site.
This appeal will be another waste of time and taxpayer money with the same result.

if the building was "damn near falling down" then there would be a proposal to fix it. not a proposal to more than double the already-in-violation-of-the-zoning-laws impervious surface rule. they cant win, but they seem incapable of stepping back and realizing any mistake, ever.
