YMCA lawyer says project is approved, but Cherry Ridge Township doesn't

One year after the conditional use hearing for the Wayne County YMCA building project started but was never completed, the project was deemed approved by the applicant’s attorney, Mark Zimmer, who alleges a failure by Cherry Ridge Township. The township, however, says otherwise, and the whole matter may end up in court. Zimmer said in his public notice that this action is required under state law “due to the Board's failure to conduct or complete the required hearing.” The new home for the YMCA, pending other permit approvals, is being planned south of Honesdale on a field just off Route 191 along Spinner Road. If built, the Y will move from its present location at 105 Park Street in the borough, and be able to offer indoor swimming, daycare, a running track and other expanded amenities. After the hearing in August had to be postponed because the site had never been posted advertising the hearing, it was rescheduled for Oct. 21. This time, the hearing was properly posted at the site. Although the YMCA’s attorney contends the project is approved by default, the township board nevertheless went through the formality of the hearing, although it lasted only about 16 minutes.

"It looks like movie stars were in the middle of war," the sculptor and Marywood University educator said of other statues he's seen as he stood over several miniature renditions of a 12-foot eagle obelisk he designed.
