In other business, Supervisors turned to thoughts of Amore, despite the coming cold weather months. That's Amore Restaurante, located at 2118 Schoenersville Road in Hanover Township, would like outdoor seating so that the moon can hit a customer's eye like a big pizza pie. That's amore. But to do so, chef and owner Joseph Jurkivo will need dimensional variances from the Township Zoning Hearing Board. So will Faulkner Oldsmobile, which wants to erect a new sign at its 298 Stoke Park Road business.
Solicitor Jim Broughal and Engineer Brien Kocher have been directed to defend the zoning ordinance when these matters are considered by zoners later this month. A zoning hearing is currently scheduled at the municipal building on October 25 at 7 PM.
Finally, Public Works Director Vince Milite announced that the Township's September 22 electronic recycling event was a success. Recyclers collected 17,766 pounds of electronic devices, 150 pounds of fluorescent bulbs and 411 pounds of batteries.
Hanover Supervisors are next scheduled to meet on Tuesday, October 23, 7 PM, at the Municipal Building, located at 3630 Jacksonville Road.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
