Connoquenessing Creek Watershed Conservation PlanButler County is currently preparing a county-wide stormwatermanagement planIdentified as recommendation in goal 3-EWritten CommentsHarmony BoroughCommentAction TakenChapter 1 Table 1.2 Land-Use Ordinances - The table indicates Table and text were correctedthat Harmony Borough does not have a Comprehensive Plan;this is incorrect. It also fails to indicate that Harmony Boroughhas a Subdivision Ordinance as well as a Floodplain Ordinanceby the use of "NA".Chapter 5 page 7 - "Two sites are being considered within the Potential access at Wood Street Parkborough of Harmony". This is incorrect. Harmony Borough removedhas a lease agreement with the Pennsylvania Fish and BoatCommission to construct a canoe launch at its Jackson Streetproperty. The use of Wood Street Park has been not consideredsince the agreement with the PFBC was reached a year and ahalf ago.Chapter 5- page 18 - "The Harmony National HistoricLandmark District in Harmony and Jackson Township" TheHarmony Historic District outlined in the Harmony BoroughCodification is all in Harmony Borough. To the best of myknowledge, Jackson Township has never recognized aNational Historic District. I believe that the entire district is inHarmony Borough.Appendix I - Recreational Facilities - the "HarmonyPlayground" which is referenced numerous times is actuallyreferred to as the "Old Schoolhouse Playground" in municipalliterature. Also, Swampoodle Park has a basketball court andpicnic facilities. Wood Street Park is a passive park, not a siteof future access to the Connoquenessing. It is already an accessto the creek.After verification, the Harmonie Societycemetery, part of the National HistoricLandmark District, is located in JacksonTownshipHarmony playground name was corrected.Amenities at Swampoodle and Wood StreetParks have been correctedPennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural ResourcesTypo in the second chapter, page one, paragraph four, line one Removed “The U.S”reads “The U.S. the Carboniferous”…Typo in chapter two, page eight, paragraph two, line five reads No state forest exist in the watershed,“no state forest exists” for just the watershed or the whole clarification will be addedstate?Appendix J.
