North Union hears concerns about development
A North Union Township sewer authority member told township supervisors on Tuesday that two other authority board members are moving recreational vehicles on to land on Hogsett Lane for which they have permission to open a mobile home park.
“It’s friends of a lot of people in this room,” is as far as North Union Township Municipal Sewer Authority member Bob Garbart would go in identifying the two men in question.
Garbart said he believes the two are violating the special exception they received from the Fayette County zoning hearing board (ZHB) by placing campers instead of mobile homes on the property.
When they asked the ZHB for the special exception, they said they were developing a gated park for 17 mobile homes, Garbart said. However, 10 campers have been placed on three of the mobile home sites, creating the appearance that they are leaving space for many more campers, he said.
