He said the number of <br />signatures on the petition to amend the district is sufficient to meet statutory requirements. <br /> <br />Keith Berndt, County Engineer, said he reviewed the plans and specifications and <br />recommends approval of the street improvement district, although he noted the streets in <br />some areas will be narrow and the amount of right of way is less than may be needed at <br />some future date. He said the Stanley Township Board of Supervisors did not feel it was <br />essential for the residents to purchase additional right of way, at an estimated cost of <br />$100,000, at this point in time. <br /> <br />Questions were raised about the slope of the ditches and responsibility for not following a <br />particular standard. Mr. Berndt said he believes a two-lane road could serve for 20 years; <br />however, it could be five years, depending upon the pace of future development.
