Zoning board renders decision on pole barn
At its December 3 meeting, the Zoning Hearing Board approved a motion to deny the appeal of Vincent Fiorella from the determination of the Zoning Officer to revoke Zoning Permit #14-206 issued July 11, 2014 and adopt the written decision prepared by the board solicitor, Joselle Cleary.
Previously, Zoning Officer Jeffrey Helm had sent a letter dated September 26 revoking the permit that had been issued to Mr. Fiorella to build a large pole barn/garage on his property at 631 South Thirteenth Street.
Mr. Fiorella had then filed an appeal of the zoning officer's decision. An evidentiary hearing was held by the board on October 29, 2014.
Copies of the decision were distributed to sworn parties only.

Were we expecting twins?
At its November 24 Meeting of the Whole, Columbia Borough Council unanimously approved waiving the dumpster permit fee and parking fees for Columbia Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) to remove unwanted materials from Hotel Locust and Hotel Columbia. During discussion preceding the vote, Council said CEDC wanted to place a dumpster at the location on the 300 block of Locust Street for approximately a week. However, two large dumpsters appeared today, the first day of the operation. As promised, items were being removed and thrown into the dumpsters, which currently block three metered parking spaces and part of a loading zone. As can be seen in the last photograph on this post, ample space is available in the rear of the property, but various logistical concerns make access less convenient.
For the backstory on the project, go HERE.
Body cameras: Local police like the idea
"My theory is that people act more appropriately when they know they're being recorded," Graeff said. "They're less likely to do something stupid and escalate the situation.
"That goes for police officers, too," he said.
