                  PROGRAM SUMMARY


                          The Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force is an outgrowth of the Delaware
                  County Planning Department's 1992 Delaware County Waterfront Resources Manage-
                  ment Plan in which the concept of a task force was listed under Immediate/Important
                  Actions. The Waterfront Plan identified a need to create a forum for coastal zone
                  communities to discuss common goals and problems and to work collectively with--
                  developers, business and industry, and other public and quasi-public agencies to develop
                  an overall vision for the Delaware County waterfront area. The Delaware County
                  Planning Department (DCPD) undertook the responsibility to establish such a task force
                  as the first phase of the Waterfront Plan's implementation; DCPD's goal being to create
                  an independent, self-sustaining task force comprised of coastal zone stakeholders with its
                  own list of goals and objectives.

                          The 1995 Task Force program consisted of a series of meetings at which various
                  stakeholders discussed coastal zone issues and priorities. In the early part of 1995,
                  DCPD began organizing the Task Force's initial kick-off meeting by compiling a list of
                  prospective invitees from all important stakeholder groups in the coastal zone, including
                  municipalities, business/industry, environmental, County agencies, citizens, etc. (See
                  Tab #1 for supporting materials.) The kick-off meeting, held on April 24, 1995, was
                  hosted by County Council and DCPD. The meeting agenda included a hearty welcome
                  by County Council Chairman Ward T. Williams and an inspiring address by Congress-
                  man W. Curtis Weldon. The event was well attended; however, the audience was
                  predominantly comprised of business/industry and County agency persons, with
                  representation from the coastal zone municipalities being low. During the meeting a
                  questionnaire relative to the Task Force's goals, objectives, and issues was distributed
                  to all attendees. (See Tab #1 for a copy of the questionnaire and refer to the kick-off
                  meeting minutes in the May meeting notice packet under Tab #2 for the questionnaire
                  results.) The ideas and information shared in this first general session set the stage for
                  the Task Force's direction and future agenda.

                          DCPD held six subsequent monthly meetings from May to October. Five of the
                  six meetings were hosted by a different coastal zone municipality. Marcus Hook
                  Borough, Trainer Borough, Tinicum Township, Chester City, and Eddystone Borough
                  each hosted a meeting. DCPD arranged to have a guest speaker at each meeting to
                  educate the group about existing programs, legislation, and/or issues pertinent to
                  waterfront communities.       The specific topics presented were the Coastal Zone
                  Management Program, the Delaware Estuary Program and Sustainable Development, the
                  Urban Waterfront Action Group, the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, the new
                  state Brownfields Legislation, and the Chester City Waterfront Planning Initiatives. (See
                  Tab #2 for agendas, minutes, and attendance records for each meeting.)

                          The group's composition differed greatly from meeting to meeting, which made
                  decision making and the development of by-laws difficult. Early on, DCPD, along with
                  a core group of regular meeting attendees, recognized'that municipal participation was
                  less than desirable. In order to garner more municipal participation, DCPD initiated an








                  outreach program to the coastal zone communities. DCPD extended offers to make one-
                  on-one presentations about the Task Force's purpose and goals to all 13 municipalities
                  in the coastal zone. (See Tab #3 for municipal contact information.) The primary goal
                  of these presentations was to stress the importance of municipal participation on the Task
                  Force. Ultimately, five municipalities accepted the offer: Marcus Hook, Folcroft,
                  Trainer, and Eddystone Boroughs and Ridley Township. It appeared that as a result of
                  the presentations and other outreach measures, municipal participation increased and-----
                  about half of the coastal zone's municipalities were regularly represented at each
                  meeting.

                          Although there was a relatively active core group of regular attendees, and
                  municipal participation improved over the course of seven months, the group was not
                  completely comfortable with finalizing and adopting by-laws at the end of 1995.
                  Originally, DCPD had envisioned that the Task Force via a subcommittee would write
                  its own by-laws; however, the group's preference was to have DCPD, draft them and
                  allow the group to comment and suggest changes. DCPD, drafted by-laws and a mission
                  statement to which the group reacted. After minor changes were made to several
                  sections the group stalled. Many issues arose concerning the membership portion, and
                  the group became reluctant to adopt formal by-laws. Therefore, the by-laws currently
                  remain in draft form. (See Tab #4 for a copy of the draft by-laws.)

                          Overall attendance began to wane in September and October which prompted
                  DCPD to question whether the group's participants felt that the Task Force was a
                  worthwhile undertaking. When DCPD posed the question to the group, the response was
                  positive. It appeared that most representatives did not want to disband and that the
                  attendees would commit themselves to active participation in the future. The core group
                  of participants generated interesting discussions on several issues germane to the
                  Delaware County waterfront area. These issues as well as other issues identified in the
                  Waterfront Plan and by DCPD were prioritized by the Task Force members. They
                  generally agreed that these could be issues on which the group should concentrate in the
                  future., (See Tab #5 for issues list.)

                          With each passing meeting, it became more apparent that many of the Task Force
                  members were unfamiliar with the coastal area as a whole. Therefore, DCPD felt that
                  one of the most important things it could do was to expose Task Force participants to the
                  numerous and varied conditions and opportunities in the coastal zone. Hence, in lieu of
                  an eighth meeting in November, DCPD organized a bus tour featuring coastal zone
                  sites/areas identified in the Opportunities/Constraints section of the Waterfront Plan.
                  (See Tab #6 for bus tour itinerary and participant list.) Based on the participants'
                  comments, the bus tour was a success and provided the participants with a highly
                  enlightened understanding of the Delaware County coastal zone dynamics.

                          DCPD hopes that the stimulus of the bus tour will carry over into 1996 as DCPD,
                  staff has committed itself to continue working with the Task Force in the role of
                  organizer and administrator. DCPD plans to convene bi-monthly meetings beginning in
                  January. The Task Force will further its efforts to define its role, to sustain participa-








                   tion, and to determine how to best address or help deal with the issues/problems faced
                   by the coastal zone communities.

                          DCPD has already taken the lead on addressing the problems associated with
                   planning aspects for waterfront areas. In cooperation with the Task Force, DCPD will
                   be preparing a catalog of waterfront land use planning provisions. It is expected that this
                   effort will be one of many future activities in which the Task Force will involve itselfi-

          Dear Curt:

               The:Planning Department has received a Coastal Zone Management
          grant to establish a waterfront task force consisting of key
          leaders from the public, private, and non-prof it sectors.        The
          purpose of the task force is to provide a forum for discussion    and
          resolution of issues affecting the development, redevelopment,    and
          conservation of Delaware County's coastal zone.

               I would li  ke to invite you and Congressman Foglietta        to
          address a kick-of f meeting of the task force to be scheduled within
          the next month or so. I anticipate that a member of County Council
          will also speak at this meeting. We would be happy to schedule the
          meeting around your Congressional commitments if you are able to
          participate.

               Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.        I
          look forward to hearing from you or a member of your staff.

                                         Very truly yours,

          DEAR 2- 5-:

               The Delaware County Council cordially invites you to the kick-
          off meeting of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force:

                     When:      Monday, April 24, 1995
                                3:00 p.m.
                     Where:     De'laware County Emergency Services
                                Training Center, Darby Township.

               The  task force  will serve as a forum for the discussion and
          resolution of issues and the coordination of activities affecting
          the development, redevelopment, and conservation of Delaware
          County's coastal zone, specifically its waterfront area.            Key
          leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors are
          invited to participate.

               The establishment of this task force, funded in part by a
          Coastal    Zone   Management    Program   grant,    is   the    primary
          recommendation of the Delaware County Waterfront Resources
          Management Plan prepared by the Delaware County Planning Department
          in 1992 (see attached background information).

               The Emergency Services Training Center is the site of the
          former Folcroft Incinerator and is a prime example of re-use of an
          abandoned industrial facility.       For those interested in touring
          the facility prior to the meeting, please arrive no later than 2:15
          p.m.

               We hope to see you on April 24, and look forward to your
          continued participation on the task force.       If you have any
          questions, please feel free to call Karen Holm at 891-5213 or
          Sherice Trotter at 891-5215.
                                             
                                             Very truly yours,
                                             Ward T. Williams

                                             BACKGROUND INFORMATION'



                      To the delight of many Delaware County coastal zone municipalities, developers have
              recently shown an interest in revitalizing the waterfront area. However, several years ago
              following a brief evaluation of subdivision/land development records, local comprehensive plans,
              and discussions with municipal officials, the Planning Department came to the realizatiornhat
              many of the County's waterfront communities were ill equipped from a land use planning
              perspective to adequately deal with redevelopment activities in a comprehensive and coordinated
              manner. It was also found that municipalities knew little about what resources they had to work
              with, what elements they would like to preserve, and how best to maximize their use. In
              essence, there was a lack of vision from both local and waterfront-wide perspectives. Thus,
              with funding assistance from CZM, the County Planning Department undertook the preparation
              of the Delaware Coun1y Waterfront Resources Management Plan.

                      This document, which was designed to provide coastal zone municipalities with the tools
              necessary to plan for and manage growth, provides the waterfront communities with an extensive
              inventory of their best resources, a comprehensive evaluation of their planning and land use
              management documents, and an identification of major opportunities and constraints for
              redevelopment on a number of important sites.            The study also makes a number of
              recommendations for local as well as coastal zone-wide planning activities and studies. The
              Planning Department believes that the most important of these recommendations is for the parties
              which have a stake in the coastal zone's success or failure to be brought together so that a
              common vision can be generated, potential conflicts can be minimized, and future land use
              planning and redevelopment activities can take place in a unified and orderly fashion.

                      As discussed above and throughout the waterfront study, bringing the concerned parties
              together so that they may operate as a unit is of critical importance to the future viability and
              success of the County's waterfront area. However, no coordinating entity or forum for
              discussion currently exists that can provide the necessary mechanism for oversight to address
              common concerns, resolve inter-municipal issues, or provide the collective force to facilitate the
              County's active and competitive participation in regional waterfront revitalization programs.
              Therefore, the Planning Department proposes that a Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force
              (charged with some of the items discussed above) be formed as early as possible. In order to
              facilitate the initiation of this task force, the County Planning Department, with financial
              assistance from the CZM Program, would be responsible for administrative support for start-up
              activities. Once permanently established over the course of one year, the task force would be
              expected to operate under its own authority and funding.

                                         RE: Coastal Zone Task Force


          Dear


                The Delaware County Planning Department was pleased to hold
          the kick-of f meeting for the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task
          Force on April 24, 1995.     We are sorry that you were unable to
          attend but hope that you will be able to come to subsequent
          meetings because the continued participation of all of the key
          players in the coastal zone is vital to the success of the Task
          Force.

                In order to keep you abreast of the Task Force activities, we
          have enclosed the minutes from the kick-off meeting and an agenda
          for the next meeting.    It was suggested at the kick-off meeting
          that an evening meeting would be more convenient; therefore, the
          next meeting has been scheduled for May 22, 1995 at 7:00 p.m at the
          Emergency services Training center in Darby Township.

                We look forward to seeing you there.        If you have any
          questions, please feel free to contact Karen Holm or Sherice
          Trotter of my staff at 891-5200. @)

                                     April 24, 1995



                     Welcome


                     County Council Chair Ward Williams thanked everyone f:or
                     their attendance and expressed his appreciation to Walt
                     Omlor for the use of the Training Center. He discussed
                     the County's long-standing interest in the waterfront and
                     how we are all in a position to participate in its
                     revitalization. He cited other projects in the coastal
                     zone that the County has supported, such as the widening
                     of Rt. 291 (Industrial Hwy.), the DELCO Emergency
                     Services Training Center, the Westinghouse facility, the
                     Henderson Office Complex, the Riverbridge Industrial
                     Center, and the Penn Terminals. He also mentioned the
                     County's desire to correct the safety problems of Rt.
                     322, which is an issue now being addressed by PennDOT.

                     Mr. Williams turned the meeting over to Planning
                     Department Director John Pickett who noted that a few
                     years ago, the Planning Department recognized that local
                     response to the resurgence in activity along the water-
                     front tended to be more reactive than proactive and that
                     a piecemeal pattern of development was beginning to
                     evolve.    He stressed the importance of creating a
                     diversified waterfront that maximizes and coordinates the
                     abundant and varied resources available. He mentioned
                     that the missing component to accomplish this is the
                     coordinated vision that can only come f rom the parties
                     that live and work in the area.

                     Mr. Pickett also brief ly explained what the "coastal
                     zone" is, what the Coastal Zone Management Program is,
                     and how in 1992 DCPD prepared the Delaware County
                     Waterfront Resources Management Plan under a grant
                     sponsored by the Program.

                     Address

                     Mr. Pickett then introduced Congressman Curt Weldon who
                     delivered the keynote address.        Congressman Weldon
                     discussed his experiences with "turning around" Marcus
                     Hook. He mentioned other regional initiatives such as
                     the Delaware Estuary Program. Congressman Weldon also
                     talked about how important it is to be able to
                     participate and compete in the regional arena and about
                     New Castle County, Delaware's desire to work with
                     Delaware County on regional waterfront efforts.          He
                     stressed that Delaware County's waterfront municipalities
                     need to act as a unit in order to accomplish this. He
                     went on to say that the Task Force is an opportunity to









                      join together to create a role for the County in the
                      region and encouraged continued participation on the Task
                      Force.


             III.     overview

                      DCPD Principal Planner Karen Holm mentioned that the
                      major goal of the waterfront study was to look for comizon-
                      goals and themes on which the waterfront could
                      capitalize. She explained that as part of DCPD's effort,
                      they inventoried all resources and examined local
                      planning documents and ordinances. DCPD found that there
                      were   a   tremendous    number    of   opportunities      for
                      redevelopment, particularly in light of the availability
                      of transportation and infrastructure, but that they were
                      hindered by common problems such as regulatory require-
                      ments and brownfields.

                      Another common problem is that many planning documents
                      are outdated and have no relationship to the activities
                      taking place in the area.        For this reason and f or
                      reasons previously noted, the Planning Department's
                      primary recommendation in the waterfront study was to
                      form a Task Force to deal with the issues.

                      The Task Force is envisioned to be a long-term, self-
                      sustaining body with assistance from Planning Department
                      staff to get established.      She stressed that the Task
                      Force should be driven by the players in the coastal
                      zone. For the first year, the intended products are to
                      be a mission statement, by-laws, and an outline of future
                      goals and activities.

                      Karen then requested that the attendees break into two
                      groups to brainstorm about a possible mission statement
                      and to make suggestions for future goals and activities.
                      The municipal survey containing potential topics for
                      future meetings was to be completed by the end of the
                      break-out sessions.


              IV.     Break-out Sessions


                      Group A

                      Task Force Participation

                      It was the general belief of all attendees that more
                      municipal participation is needed as only three
                      municipalities were represented. Attendees made it clear
                      that sending letters to municipal officials will not work
                      because they generally will not respond unless there is
                      a crisis.      No crisis equals no participation.            A
                      suggestion was made that each municipality be approached
                      individually to explain the need for their participation









                    on the Task Force.    one partic ipant suggested that an
                    attendee   from   the   kick-off   meeting   go  to    the
                    municipalities who were not represented and discuss the
                    goals and mission of the Task Force.

                    Another reason why municipalities did not attend may be
                    that they do not have full-time staff which would allow
                    them time to attend daytime meetings or to send somec-ne-
                    in their place if they had a prior commitment. There was
                    a suggestion that perhaps someone could go to the
                    municipal officials' night meeting and discuss it with
                    them. It was recommended that for maximum participation,
                    subsequent meetings be scheduled during the evening.
                    Most believed the location to be convenient to the local
                    governing bodies.

                    One participant suggested that perhaps municipal
                    officials are waiting for a "hot topic" or publication of
                    an actual agenda for the Task Force before they will
                    attend any meetings. others felt that the invitational
                    letter was confusing and that perhaps the municipal
                    officials did not understand the purpose of the meeting
                    and the Task Force.

                    Many attendees felt that municipal officials probably do
                    not know about the waterfront study and what it entails.
                    It was suggested that the Planning Department could
                    introduce them to it and encourage them to designate
                    staff to attend the meetings, preferably someone with
                    planning or other relevant experience. With regard to
                    the survey, the group felt that the County needs to sit
                    down with the individual municipalities and ask them what
                    problems they have and then suggest that the Task Force
                    can help them to determine viable solutions to those
                    problems.

                    Meeting participants felt that the Task Force should have
                    some sort of structure in the form of an agenda. They
                    also wanted to know what resources would be available to
                    the Task Force and how much time they would be expected
                    to contribute. A one-page newsletter was suggested by
                    Bill Payne. Karen Holm (KH) stated that the agenda for
                    the Task Force should be Task Force generated so that
                    there is participant commitment.         Such commitment
                    requires one meeting per month with additional meetings
                    if one is on a subcommittee. KH will check the contract
                    to see if there is adequate funding to produce a
                    newsletter.

                    People also believed that if the municipalities think the
                    Task Force is trying to tell them what to do with their
                    land, the whole project will fail. It was suggested that
                    goals and objectives be presented to them in the form of
                    advice and guidelines.










                     Issues Discussed

                     The group also felt that the         municipalities not
                     represented at the meeting may not have adequate
                     ordinances and comprehensive plans  and that there is a
                     need to collect these plans, review them, and see what is
                     missing from them. KH pointed out that this was done in
                     the Waterfront Study.                                 1:7- -1

                     The Bi-State Compact between Pennsylvania and Delaware
                     suggested by Rep. Weldon was discussed by the group.
                     Some were skeptical because of the need for funding.
                     Mike Wolf noted that such a compact would require bi-
                     state legislation. Many felt that this was too ambitious
                     an undertaking. Several wondered how this compact would
                     help Delaware County because they feel that County
                     citizens living close to Delaware tend to spend more of
                     their time and money in that state rather than in
                     Pennsylvania.  Others felt that Delaware may be taking
                     our industry away from us and believe that we should
                     concentrate on making Delaware County a magnet that would
                     also attract industry and business.      One reason why
                     Delaware County does not now attract attention may be
                     that there are no docking areas for boaters traveling up
                     the coast from Delaware to Philadelphia, thereby forcing
                     them to bypass Delaware County. The issue of competition
                     between municipalities also arose, and many feel that
                     this attitude negatively influences the municipalities'
                     ability to cooperate with each other and make them think
                     regionally.   It would be better to focus on common
                     problems.

                     We should show municipalities how their prospering can
                     benefit each other.   We must also make municipalities
                     realize that it is in their interest to have a variety of
                     attractions.

                     The lack of communication between municipalities and a
                     sense that this has created a problem in direction of
                     resources was noted. Bruce Dorbian noted that some of
                     the lack of communication may be a result of competition.

                     Floating zoning and model overlays which could be
                     transferred from municipality to municipality to save
                     time when rewriting ordinances were also mentioned.

                     Attendees also discussed the Rt. 291 corridor and the
                     necessity of redeveloping it. People were confused as to
                     why the project kept being put of f when the money has
                     been available.

                     The issue of riverboat gambling also arose. Some feel
                     that a host municipality would not be willing to share
                     the profits resulting from such activity with neigh-









                     boring municipalities. Whether or not this issue is real
                     enough to use as a rallying point to bring municipalities
                     together was also discussed. Most people felt that this
                     issue is too controversial to accomplish such a task.
                     However, it was mentioned that perhaps the question, "Are
                     you ready for riverboat gambling?" could be used to
                     attract people without getting into whether they support
                     it or oppose it. As a piggyback to the rallying ther.,@-,-
                     Pat Killian suggested a possible motto for the Task
                     Force, "One River, One Waterfront."

                     It was noted that municipalities also need to realize
                     that they must capitalize on all available resources, not
                     just one. Perhaps we should look at the municipalities
                     and see what sites are valuable or available for
                     redevelopment. In many of the municipalities there are
                     a   limited    number    of   significant    real     estate
                     opportunities, so we must work with officials to develop
                     these areas to their maximum potential. A question arose
                     as to whether there should be an emphasis on a few large
                     tracts of land to develop or redevelop into one use, or
                     if the area should be broken down and used for smaller
                     varied uses.    It was noted that the new thinking in
                     industrial development is that new industries can bring
                     in satellite industries.     It was also noted that many
                     municipalities have trouble attracting development that
                     will benefit them and make people want to spend time
                     there.   Some people feel that municipalities welcome
                     anyone who wants to occupy land in their boundaries while
                     others feel that municipalities are very picky when it
                     comes to who purchases land.

                     Attendees also felt that there has been a change in the
                     perception of what is feasible and what is possible.
                     There was a sense that we need to broaden the vision of
                     what is possible. There is a need to dispel the fallacy
                     that riverfront industry is dead and to convince
                     disbelievers that the waterfront towns are user-friendly.

                     Group Wrap-up

                     Major goals of the Task Force:

                     1.   Raise awareness
                     2.   Inform and educate
                     3.   Cooperation and coordination
                     4.   Halt "isolationist" attitude that pervades Delaware
                          County

                     In closing, people generally believed that if these four
                     issues could be brought to the attention of a few
                     municipalities who might realize the benefits that could
                     result from implementing such ideas, then there would be
                     a ripple effect that would carry over to other









                      municipalities in the County.

                      Group B

                      Task Force Participation

                      General consensus was that all of the "key" players need
                      to be involved in order f or the Task Force to -eze
                      effective. It was noted that many municipalities were
                      not represented at this meeting, possibly due to short
                      staf f s or volunteer/ part-time staf f s with other day jobs.
                      It was suggested that municipalities might be more likely
                      to attend if the Task Force meetings are held at night or
                      if the Task Force moves around to hold me(itings in each
                      of the municipalities (in effect going to them instead of
                      then coming to us).

                      It was felt by some that the invitations to the kick-off
                      meeting had come too late and did not sufficiently
                      explain the potential role of the Task Force. This was
                      suggested as one reason why people may not have come, as
                      well as being indicative of a lack of organization and
                      cooperation.      The group felt that to keep people
                      involved, it will be important to give them enough lead
                      time and also more follow-through than normally occurs.

                      Another group that was noted for its absence was
                      developers. one person thought that it might be a good
                      idea to have the developers in the room as well.

                      Instructive comparisons were drawn between two other task
                      forces, one successfully pulling all the players together
                      and perceived as working well, one lacking municipal
                      attendance and perceived as ineffective.             Both are
                      highway corridor intermodal task forces,             but the
                      successful one was thought to be very focused, very
                      specific, and run by high-level PennDOT staff, thus
                      assuring participants of catching the ear of those with
                      decision-making power.

                      Issues Discussed


                      There was some confusion as to what the mission of the
                      Task Force should or could be. With very little funding,
                      no mandate, and no authority, it was questioned whether
                      the Task Force could be of any use. It was suggested that
                      the way to balance competing interests might be to make
                      a plan, and someone else thought that might be the
                      mission of the Task Force. One person wondered whether
                      County Council would support the product of the Task
                      Force, and Lois Saunders said that the Task Force can
                      make recommendations regarding County Council's role if
                      it wanted.









                     Lois Saunders also explained that funding for the
                     establishment of this Task Force was provided by a $7205
                     CZM grant and a $7205 County match, and that further
                     funding was not guaranteed. Although major concerns were
                     expressed about the possible lack of funding, one person
                     wondered why this type of a gathering had not occurred
                     before now, saying that the resources and problems have
                     existed for some time and that a grant is not essent-,---Al-
                     to this work.

                     Development schemes were discussed. The Schuylkill River
                     Heritage Park Corridor was mentioned as a possible model
                     for the waterfront. The Heinz National Wildlife Refuge
                     could function as a focus for development and/or tourism.
                     While it was mentioned that an architect could be hired
                     to draw up a master plan for the whole waterfront, most
                     objected to bringing in outsiders to plan development and
                     to the idea of a strict master plan for development. It
                     was suggested that a function of the Task Force could be
                     to recommend or review appropriate linkages and buffers
                     between and among waterfront land uses.            It was
                     questioned whether the main purpose of the Task Force was
                     to be a development commission or not.

                     Several people mentioned that historically, community
                     input has not been sought enough in planning efforts.
                     For example, many agencies have plans for Tinicum
                     Township, including the airport and the Wildlife Refuge,
                     but the people who live there were rarely consulted as to
                     what they would like for Tinicum. as a place in which to
                     live and work.   It was suggested that this forum is a
                     great opportunity to air municipal concerns and/or ideas
                     about the waterfront.

                     Several participants felt that the existing regulations
                     were complex, confusing, and sometimes conflicting or
                     redundant, and that this problem has caused developers
                     and businessmen to be apprehensive about initiating or
                     partaking in activity on the waterfront.

                     The issue of the need to balance environmental health
                     with economic development was discussed at great length.
                     An example of conflict is the dredging of the river
                     versus preserving silt and mud flats for wildlife and
                     birdwatchers.

                     It was noted that the waterfront usually receives
                     negative press, most of ten being mentioned in the context
                     of existing or potential problems. The group felt that
                     education and outreach are key to resolving this issue
                     and other issues previously discussed.

                     It was mentioned that several planning efforts focusing
                     on the waterfront exist, including the Delaware County









                     Planning Department's Waterfront Resources Management
                     Study. There was general agreement that most people are
                     not aware of the relevant reports, and that often reports
                     are not properly utilized and/or implemented. There was
                     a suggestion that a reading list be developed to
                     distribute to each Task Force participant.

                     Economic competition with Philadelphia and New CastAe-
                     County, Delaware was also discussed. It was mentioned
                     that Philadelphia and New Castle both have county-wide
                     coordination; New Castle through the powers invested in
                     the county government by the state, and Philadelphia by
                     virtue of the fact that the city is a county unto itself.
                     It was stressed that Delaware County needs to work extra-
                     hard at internal coordination in order to be competitive
                     with its two waterfront neighbors.

                     Group Wrap-uR

                     There was not time for a formal wrap-up, and there did
                     not seem to be a clear agreement as to what the mission
                     of the Task Force should be, or even whether a Task Force
                     would be useful. However, in general the following points
                     were stressed:


                     1.   Increase    coordination    among    all     parties,
                          regulations, and projects affecting development
                          along the waterfront
                     2.   Strike a balance between the environment and the
                          economy
                     3.   Stronger guidance from the Planning Department may
                          be needed to help focus the Task Force
                     4.   Get locals involved with the Task Force


               V.    Wrap-up

                     Ms. Holm thanked everyone for expressing an interest in
                     the  Task    Force  and   encouraged    their    continued
                     participation. She announced that minutes would be sent
                     out to the entire mailing list, including all attendees,
                     and that the next meeting is tentatively scheduled for
                     Monday, May 22, 1995.

                                       Meeting Minutes
                                         May 22, 1995



                      Welcome

                      County Planning Director John Pickett (J.P.) thank,-d-
                      everyone for their attendance, and everyone introduced
                      themselves.


                      County Principal Planner Karen Holm (K.H.) explained the
                      results of the Delaware County Waterfront Resources
                      Management Plan, prepared by DCPD in 1992, which showed
                      that there aren't any linkages along the waterfront. She
                      went on to explain that without linkages, Delaware
                      County's waterfront is unable to compete with other
                      waterfront areas in the region, such as Philadelphia and
                      New Castle County, Delaware. The plan suggested that the
                      formation of a task force to get the different entities
                      talking to one another and working together should be the
                      first step to resolving the problem.

                      Chester City Planning Director William Payne inquired
                      about the municipalities' responses to the study. K.H.
                      explained that there has been little reaction since the
                      plan was released, but that while the plan was underway
                      the individual municipalities were polled to find out
                      their vision of the waterfront.         K.H. said that the
                      responses varied; some being very good while others
                      showed that some municipalities have given the matter
                      limited consideration.

                      K.H. discussed the misconception that the task force was
                      being formed to develop a waterfront plan.                 K.H.
                      explained that a plan could be a future project for the
                      task force, but that consideration of developing a plan
                      at this point would be like putting the cart before the
                      horse. However, K.H. did stress the importance of the
                      task force and its role in trying to develop a vision for
                      the waterfront, which at this stage should be setting
                      goals and getting all the key players together and
                      talking to one another. She also explained that DCPD's
                      role is one of facilitator with the task force
                      determining its organization and agenda. At the end of
                      the first year, the goal is to have established a self-
                      sustaining task force with its own list of goals to
                      pursue. (DCPD expects to continue working with the task
                      force.)

                      Results


                      K.H. informed the attendees about DCPD's efforts to
                      encourage municipal participation on the task force. She









                     explained that DCPD had personally contacted the
                     municipal manager/secretary from each of the 13
                     municipalities within the coastal    zone via telephone.
                     DCPD was able to set up dates for 5 of the 13
                     municipalities for presentations to the local governing
                     body or local planning 'commission. Seven municipalities
                     desired a written request to make     a presentation, and
                     only one municipality felt that a presentation would<be
                     of no benef it.   County Planning Commission vice chair
                     Thomas Judge (T.J.) requested that the task force be
                     provided with a list of the coastal zone municipalities
                     so that the members could lobby the municipalities to
                     encourage attendance and participation. J.P. named the
                     13 municipalities listed below. (Please note that only
                     6 of the 13 are actually bounded by the Delaware River.)

                               Chester City
                               Darby Township
                               Eddystone Borough
                               Folcroft Borough
                               Lower Chichester Township
                               Marcus Hook Borough
                               Norwood Borough
                               Prospect Park Borough
                               Ridley Township
                               Ridley Park Borough
                               Tinicum Township
                               Trainer Borough
                               Upper Chichester Township

                     The group discussed the subcommittee volunteer tally
                     listed in the April 24th minutes. Given these results,
                     it was decided that the Program committee should be
                     headed by the two volunteers, Thomas O'Brien and Bruce
                     Dorbian, serving as co-chairs. It was also decided that
                     DCPD would develop the mission statement and the by-laws
                     and present them to the task force for approval. DCPD
                     would also be responsible for arranging speakers and
                     meeting place, day, and time based on the group's
                     preference during the first year. The members present
                     chose not to pursue the publication of a newsletter at
                     this time.   They felt that the effort might be better
                     served as a future activity of the task force.

                     David Sciocchetti (D.S.) commented that the task force is
                     an opportunity to process and resolve conflicts between
                     the environment and economics.     He also felt that the
                     task force should establish a rallying point(s) to
                     encourage and/or increase participation. Several issues
                     and/or questions were posed relative to the comment.

                     Michael Wolf recommended that the task force identify a
                     common crisis to rally around and look for universal
                     topics such as highways or shipbuilding.           It was









                      suggested that the task force examine the use of
                      waterfront dynamics (e.g. Philadelphia) and that Baldwin
                      Towers should be considered as a topic. K.H. stated that
                      a common vision could be a rallying point and that the
                      question, "If we could have anything we want, what would
                      we want?" should be posed to the municipalities and other
                      key players.

                      J.P. suggested the issue of riverfront gambling as a
                      rallying point. The group discussion centered around the
                      impacts of riverfront gambling on Tinicum (potential
                      site), the waterfront, and the County.         T.J. and D.S.
                      explained that riverfront gambling or "something else"
                      would bring in additional tax revenues and the benefits
                      would be spread out among the entire County.

                      Other suggested topics included reclaiming open space,
                      public access, and cumulative impacts of industries. In
                      reference to public access, it was mentioned that the
                      Chester Boat Ramp/Dock is the only lladmission-f reel'
                      public access point on the river in Delaware County. It
                      was explained that the boat ramp has been the victim of
                      vandalism, but plans to expand the boat ramp are still on
                      the books. The Fish Commission will manage the boat ramp
                      during Chester's "distressed" period. It was suggested
                      that public access points could be linked together,
                      possibly via a ferry service. D.S. mentioned the John
                      Heinz Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum as a possible site.
                      Richard Nugent (R.N.) didn't feel that linkage to other
                      public access points would be in keeping with the
                      Refuge's policies which place a priority on wildlife. He
                      also stated that the Refuge is concentrating on
                      education.

                      R.N. went on to mention that he was disappointed by the
                      meeting turnout and wanted to know from where the funding
                      and authority to continue this effort would come. D.S.
                      remarked that there are good reasons to continue the
                      effort.   T.J. provided encouragement and said that the
                      authority will come.

           III.       Membership Operations

                      This topic was tabled for the next meeting.

            IV.       Coastal Zone Management Program Overview

                      John Booser gave a brief synopsis of the creation of the
                      CZM Program. He explained that the program was created
                      in 1972 and is a partnership between the federal and
                      state governments.        He further explained that in
                      Pennsylvania funding is filtered down to local agencies
                      through the state government. He went on to mention that
                      the establishment of the Delaware County Coastal Zone









                     Task Force was f unded by a grant from the CZM Program
                     (with 50% County match) to the County Planning
                     Department. He stated that the grant program only funds
                     construction projects and not maintenance projects.

                     A discussion followed concerning the Urban Waterfront
                     Action Group (UWAG).     It was explained that the UWAG
                     brings together a panel of experts to help facilitate [email protected]
                     permitting    process   for   major   developments     along
                     waterfronts and that the Delaware Valley Regional
                     Planning Commission currently stewards the program.

            V.       Next Meeting

                     K.H. announced that the next meeting would be a late
                     afternoon meeting on Monday, June 26, 1995.       She also
                     stated that she hoped to be able to hold the meeting at
                     a municipal building.

                     The meeting adjourned.

         Dear Mr. Seymour:

              According to the Delaware County Planning Department records,
         you tentatively accepted our invitation to participate on a panel
         discussion about the Urban Waterfront Action Group (UWAG) process
         at the July 24, 1995 meeting of the Delaware County Coastal Zone
         Task Force.   The meeting is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. and
         will be held at the Eddystone Borough Municipal Building, 1300 E.
         12th Street, Eddystone, PA.     (Directions are enclosed for your

              The task force is comprised of local municipal officials and
         representatives from various businesses, industries, interest
         groups, and County agencies. The task force is in its infancy and

         and objectives.   As part of this process, a guest speaker(s) is
         invited to each monthly meeting to talk about topics and/or issues
         related to the waterfront.    The purpose of the UWAG panel is to
         give an overview of the UWAG process from several perspectives and
         to be able to provide answers to questions posed by the task force
         members.   Along with yourself, two other persons have agreed to
         serve on the panel:

                                    Meeting Minutes
                                     June 26, 1995



             I.      Introductions


                     County Principal Planner Karen Holm (K.H.) thanked
                     everyone for their attendance, and everyone introduced
                     themselves.



            Ii.      Review Minutes

                     K.H. asked for comments pertaining to meeting minutes
                     from May 22, 1995. There were no additions or deletions.


           III.      Review Agenda

                     K.H. asked for comments about June 26 meeting agenda. No
                     one commented.



            IV.      Old Business

                     K.H. remarked that it appears that the municipal outreach
                     effort has been relatively effective because at this
                     meeting, there was representation from each of the five
                     municipalities the County Planning Department (DCPD) had
                     visited since the May meeting. (For most, it was their
                     first time attending a Task Force meeting.) K.H. said
                     that DCPD intended to continue their municipal outreach
                     efforts in hopes to get representation from each coastal
                     zone municipality involved with the Task Force.

                     K.H. gave a general overview of possible goals and roles
                     of the Task Force and possible issues that could be
                     addressed by the Task Force that were discussed at the
                     May meeting. K.H. solicited responses from attendees but
                     none were given.

                     K.H. announced the County's intention to adopt an Open
                     Space grant program similar to what was implemented in
                     Montgomery and Chester Counties.   She explained that a
                     draft plan developed by a County Council-appointed
                     Leadership Group would be unveiled at the June 27 County
                     Council meeting. The plan proposed $100 million grant
                     funding for specialized categories, one of which is for
                     Delaware River waterfront acquisition and re-greening
                     (including coastal zone) .   She pointed out that this
                     would be a great opportunity for funding projects and
                     that the Task Force members should start thinking about
                     possible projects.










                      K.H. mentioned the two volunteers for Co-chairs of the
                      Program Subcommittee and noted that due to a time crunch
                      in the DCPD off ice, we have not been able to put any
                      effort towards getting the Program Subcommittee going or
                      towards developing a well-thought out mission statement.
                      K.H. apologized and hoped to be able to start these
                      activities in July.


             V.       New Business

                      K.H. explained that so far DCPD has been targeting
                      municipalities, regional agencies and a few large
                      selected businesses.     K. H. stated that as we begin to
                      work on the bylaws we need to consider what specified
                      membership we want and also how the Task Force should
                      operate (i.e. voting procedures). K.H. asked if anyone
                      felt that any other entity not previously mentioned
                      should be involved with the Task Force. It was suggested
                      that environmental groups, such as, the Environmental
                      Advisory Council comprised of representation from
                      Trainer, Marcus Hook and Lower Chichester should be
                      invited to attend.       It was also suggested that the
                      current Task Force mailing list be made available to
                      members so that they could make educated suggestions
                      based on who is already invited to attend.         K.H. said
                      that DCPD would   make this information available.

                      K.H. opened the   floor for recommendations for the Task
                      Force bylaws.    It was the groups consensus that there
                      should   be    an   Executive    Committee    comprised     of
                      representation    from each of the 13 coastal zone
                      municipalities, and authority should be given to
                      municipal     officials     to    designate     their      own
                      representative(s). There were no suggestions as to how
                      to determine if each municipality should be given equal
                      representation or if representation should be based on
                      population, size, etc...     K.H. asked if attendees felt
                      that only municipalities should be voting members with
                      industry and County agencies only having an advisory
                      membership or should industry and County agencies also
                      have voting power (with municipal voting power having
                      equal or more strength).      No decision was made.       K.H.
                      said that DCPD would devise a few options and let the
                      Task Force react to the options and make the f inal
                      decision.


                      K.H. posed the question as to whether rules of order
                      should be established in the bylaws.         The group felt
                      there was no need for formalized rules of order and
                      decided to leave the issue open.









            VI.        Municipal Planning and Regulations

                       County Planning Department Director John Pickett (J.P.)
                       gave a presentation on planning and regulation in
                       Pennsylvania.      He stated that the           Pennsylvania
                       Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247, as amended) is the
                       planning "Bible" in Pennsylvania with municipalities
                       having the primary role and responsibility for planni<ng
                       and zoning; the county having a secondary role.             He
                       explained that this situation poses a problem because
                       municipalities have power but are limited because of
                       constraints.

                       J.P. went on further to explain that in Pennsylvania
                       planning has three legs; comprehensive plan, subdivision
                       and land development ordinance, and zoning ordinance.
                       J.P. mentioned that the MPC fails to define what a
                       comprehensive plan is; therefore, J.P. offered two
                       definitions; "vision for future look" and "puzzle picture
                       on the box. 11   J.P. said that zoning regulations are
                       basically the development specifics of what, where, and
                       how much is allowed whose purpose is to guide reasonable
                       overall community growth.        J.P.   added that zoning
                       ordinances often end up serving the     same function as a
                       comprehensive plan rather than as a     tool to implement a
                       comp plan. He explained that zoning regulations are an
                       exercise of the police power to protect public health.
                       He also explained that zoning should be reasonable and
                       cannot remove all or most economic value and should
                       ensure development compatibility with respect to district
                       and uses.

                       J.P. conveyed that subdivision and land development
                       regulations in relation to zoning regulations set forth
                       the specifics on how development should take place (i.e.
                       design elements).    He stated that the term subdivision
                       and land development includes all development except one
                       single family home on an already existing lot.              He
                       mentioned some of the gray areas within these regulations
                       (i.e. what actually constitutes a land development), and
                       noted that municipalities have to use their own
                       discretion where things are not clearly defined.          J.P.
                       made it clear that this type of regulation is
                       underutilized as a planning tool.

                       J.P. mentioned that there really is a fourth leg to
                       planning which is the official map. He went on to say
                       that official maps allow for exact location of future
                       public improvements to be identified, and restricts
                       without prohibiting development within mapped areas.

                       J.P. wrapped up his presentation by discussing the
                       special issues pertaining to the coastal zone/waterfront.
                       He touched on whether there is a need for the County to









                    prepare a waterfront plan as a component of the County
                    comprehensive plan.    He noted that current plans and
                    ordinances did not reflect or provide for the current
                    activity taking place within the coastal zone, especially
                    along the waterfront.     Developers are coming in with
                    their own plans, and the municipalities are unable to
                    effectively guide the development and/or growth in these
                    areas.


                    J.P. stated that both zoning and subdivision/land
                    development regulations can make special provisions for
                    environmentally sensitive areas, but all value of the
                    property cannot be removed.     J.P. also mentioned that
                    public dedication of parks/open space or payment of fees
                    in lieu thereof allows for acquisition and/or development
                    of certain areas; however, municipalities must have an
                    adopted plan to take advantage of this option.

                    The discussion following J.P.'s presentation included
                    such topics as physical and visual public access which
                    attendees felt was very limited and needed to be
                    increased. It was suggested that we attempt to connect
                    public access points by using abandoned railroad lines,
                    ferries, and water taxis. It was also suggested that the
                    Task Force members observe and study what activities are
                    taking place across the Delaware River.

                    The idea of developing model provisions to address
                    waterfront issues and activities was also discussed.
          V'II.     Next Meeting(s)

                    K.H. announced that the next meeting would be held on
                    Monday, July 24, 1995 at 3:00 p.m. in the Eddystone
                    Borough Hall, and that the speaker(s) would talk about
                    the Urban Waterfront Action Group process.

                    K.H. also announced that the August 28th meeting will
                    convene at 3:00 p.m., and explained that the location
                    would be announced at the July meeting, and that DCPD was
                    going to attempt to continue rotating the meetings from
                    municipality to municipality.

                    K.H. solicited volunteers for future meeting places, and
                    elaborated that for sake of consistency all monthly
                    meetings would be held on the 4th Monday at 3:00 p.m.

                    The meeting adjourned.

                                        RE: Brownfields         Legislation
                                             Presentation


         Dear Mr. Beitler:

              According to the Delaware County Planning Department records,
         you tentatively accepted our invitation to give a presentation on
         the new brownfields legislation at the August 28, 1995 meeting of
         the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.       The meeting is
         scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. and will be held at the Trainer
         Borough Municipal Building, 9th and Main Streets, Trainer, PA.
         Directions to the municipal building and an August meeting agenda
         are enclosed for your convenience.

              The task force is comprised of local municipal officials and
         representatives from various businesses, industries, interest
         @roups, and County agencies. The task force is in its infancy and
         is in the process of gathering information and setting its goals
         and objectives.   As part of this process, a guest speaker(s) is
         invited to each monthly meeting to talk about topics and/or issues
         related to the waterfront. The Task Force expressed an interest in
         getting information on brownfields legislation; therefore, we would
         like for you to give an overview of such legislation and tell us
         how you think this will impact the Delaware County coastal zone
         (waterfront).

          presentation.,   If you have any questions or require additional

                                    Meeting Minutes
                                     July 24, 1995


                     Introductions

                     County Planning Director John Pickett (J.P.) thank-@ad
                     everyone for their attendance, and everyone introduced
                     themselves. J.P. also introduced County Councilman Paul
                     Mattus (P.M.).

                     P.M. addressed the group, speaking about the importance
                     of the coastal zone (riverfront) and how the construction
                     of 1-476 brought a renewed interest into the area. He
                     used Baldwin Towers as an example of successful reuse of
                     an abandoned industrial site.

                     P.M. also discussed the importance of strengthening the
                     leisure   and  tourist    industry   in  the    waterfront
                     municipalities. He spoke of the concept of a waterfront
                     stadium and mentioned the possibility of riverfront
                     gambling coming to the area.     His overall message was
                     that he was in favor of proactive development along the
                     waterfront.


                     Bruce Dorbian (B.D.) asked P.M. how to avoid or how to
                     limit competition between municipalities. P.M. responded
                     that if any competition were to arise, then it would be
                     best to deal with those situations case by case. Frank
                     Marr (F.M.) asked P.M. what were the possible locations
                     for riverfront gambling.     P.M. said that a decision
                     hadn't been made, but that rumors about Tinicum had
                     surfaced.   Mike Wolf wanted to know the status of the
                     Delaware County Open space Project.     P.M. stated that
                     things were still up in the air and that the final
                     document is still being prepared. He also stated that
                     implementation of the project would probably be subject
                     to public vote on the April ballot.


                     Review Minutes

                     J.P. asked for comments pertaining to meeting minutes
                     from June 26, 1995.       There were no additions or
                     deletions.



                     Review Agenda

                     J.P. asked for comments about the July 24 meeting agenda.
                     No one commented.










            IV.        Old Business


                       Karen Holm (K.H.) passed out copies of the existing
                       mailing list to all attendees and explained how the list
                       was compiled by DCPD at the outset of this project. K.H.
                       remarked that it would save time and money if the list
                       could be pared down and limited to those parties who are
                       definitely interested in or are participating on the Ta7sk
                       Force.     She requested that the attendees consider
                       possible additions or deletions to the mailing list and
                       tabled further discussion until the August 28th meeting.

                       K.H. discussed the mission statement/bylaws preliminary
                       draft that was sent to everyone on the mailing list. She
                       explained how they were developed and asked for
                       questions, comments, and/or suggestions.           Jill Welch
                       (J.W.) questioned how 11coordinative and advisory" and how
                       formal was the Task Force supposed to be. K.H. responded
                       that the Task Force was envisioned to act as a unified
                       body that could advise and educate themselves, County
                       Council, and the State Legislature regarding issues
                       affecting the coastal zone.

                       F.M. commented that he was concerned about regulatory
                       agencies and that he wanted to be reassured that the
                       activities of the Task Force would not be stepping on any
                       toes   or   reinventing    the   wheel.      M.W.    suggested
                       eliminating "voting" representatives as a membership
                       category until a hot issue develops.

                       Bill Payne (B.P.) wanted to know if there was any
                       existing timetable for finalizing and/or adopting the
                       bylaws. B.D. cautioned that municipal representation was
                       still lacking, and he felt that the Task Force should
                       focus on getting municipal commitments before finalizing
                       bylaws.   Tom Carnwath (T.C.) was concerned that there
                       still isn't any compelling case for cooperative ventures.
                       He suggested that we should research any previous
                       successful cases and use those to get and to maintain
                       municipal interest (commitment).

                       M.W. stressed the     importance of a concrete issue to
                       galvanize interest and asked for suggestions.              F.M.
                       responded with the dredging of the Delaware River to
                       deepen water at low    tide along the back channel.        K.H.
                       mentioned the Chester City Boat Ramp and the entire issue
                       of public access. She asked Bill Payne to explain his
                       efforts to develop a master plan for the boat ramp. Bill
                       Payne explained that he was finalizing the master plan
                       and felt that the final document should be ready by late
                       September or early October.

                       K.H. asked for comments about the mission statement,
                       specifically. T.C. suggested that we add "facilitators"










                     to the mission.      B.D. said that we should delete
                     "isolationist."

                     J.P. concluded this segment and requested that any
                     suggestions for revisions to the bylaws, mission
                     statement, and/or the mailing list, and a list of issues
                     for discussion should be brought to the August meeting.


            V.       New Business


                     J.P. passed out an article entitled "Gambling: How It
                     Could Be Done" from the May-June, 1995 issue of The
                     Center for Rural Pennsylvania Newsletter. It was also
                     mentioned that a hearing on gambling was supposedly
                     taking place today (July 24th).      He also alluded to
                     P.M.'s update on Baldwin Towers.

                     J.W. volunteered to speak to the Task Force about train
                     transit and other transportation issues/concerns that
                     should be considered when planning for waterfront
                     development/redevelopment.    K.H. said that she would
                     follow up with J.W. to select which meeting date would be
                     okay for J.W.


           Vi.       Urban Waterfront Action Group

                     A three-person panel shared its thoughts and experiences
                     with the Urban Waterfront Action Group (UWAG) . The first
                     person to speak was Barry Seymour (B.S.) of the Delaware
                     Valley Regional Planning Commission. He explained that
                     the UWAG was started in the early 1980s as a response to
                     the rise of waterfront development/ redevelopment and the
                     complications caused by the wide variety of permits that
                     were required for project completion.       B.S. further
                     explained that the goal of the UWAG meeting was to limit
                     or eliminate permits by bringing together in one room all
                     of the permitting agencies involved in a particular
                     project.   The developer presents the project and gets
                     feedback on the permitting process, i.e. pitfalls and
                     other pertinent information.

                     William Jenkins (W.J.) from the Army Corps of Engineers
                     Regulatory Branch added that he has participated in
                     numerous UWAG meetings as the representative from the
                     Army Corps of Engineers and feels that the meetings are
                     productive and worthwhile to the regulatory agencies and
                     to the developer.

                     Pat Quigley (P.Q.) of Pat Quigley Associates, Inc.
                     brought the perspective of a frequent user of the UWAG
                     meeting process. She felt that there were several pros
                     to the program and very few cons. P.Q. stated that the









                       UWAG process is a time saver, a "reality check" and a
                       money saver. She also added that it allows the developer
                       to set milestones. She said that problems can arise when
                       an agency representative is not knowledgeable. P.Q. also
                       said that agency follow-up can be slow and that the
                       process is limited to large developments with impact on
                       the waterfront (coastal zone).      She said that the best
                       results from a UWAG meeting come when the developer c-an-
                       provide sufficient detail about the project and already
                       has an idea of what the issues of concern are.

                       B.S. concluded the presentation by stating that the UWAG
                       is mainly advisory and less technical.        He added that
                       UWAG meetings provide mitigation opportunities for the
                       developer and negotiation ammong the regulatory agencies.

                       M.W. asked about the status of the 1987 Corps manual.
                       The response was that the manual is currently being
                       revised. It was also mentioned that there are two bills
                       in Congress which severely restrict what currently can be
                       regulated as a wetland.


           Vii.        Next Meeting(s)

                       J.P. announced that the next meeting would be held on
                       Monday, August 28, 1995 at 3:00 p.m. in the Trainer
                       Borough Hall and that the guest speaker would talk about
                       the    new    brownfields     legislation      (environmental
                       regulations for redevelopment of old/abandoned industrial
                       sites).

                       The meeting adjourned.

           TO              DELAWARE COUNTY COASTAL ZONE TASK FORCE MEMBERS-


           FROM            JOHN E. PICKETT, AICP
                           DIRECTOR


           SUBJECT         SEPTEMBER MEETING


           DATE            SEPTEMBER 11, 1995


                Enclosed are the August 28, 1995    attendance list and meeting
           minutes of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.            Also
           enclosed are directions and the agenda for the September meeting,
           which will be held at the Tinicum Township Municipal Building, 629
           Governor Printz Blvd., Essington, PA on September 25, 1995 at 3:00
           p.m. Due to time and budget constraints, DCPD is looking to pare
           down the current Task Force mailing list. The October mailing will
           reflect the condensed list. The decision to remove names from the
           mailing list will primarily be based on attendance at the five Task
           Force meetings that have been held; however, DCPD does not want to
           @liminate any individual or any organization which whose interest
           in the Task Force's efforts and/or activities remains high.
           Therefore, we ask that all interested parties contact Karen Holm or
           Sherice Trotter at 1191-5200 to express and/or confirm their desire
           to remain on the mailing list.      All coastal zone municipalities
           will remain on the list; however, we ask that each municipality
           provide DCPD with the name(s) of their official Task Force
           representative(s).    Thank you in advance for your cooperation in
           this matter.


                See you on the  25th.

                      K.H. reiterated the need to pare down the current Task
                      Force mailing list. She asked if anyone had studied the
                      current list and if they had any suggestions for
                      additions and/or deletions. Bill Payne (B.P.) said he
                      did not have a copy of the current mailing list. K.H.
                      said DCPD would get him a copy.        Bruce Dorbian (B.D.)
                      commented that the Sun Oil representative should be
                      replaced by a staff person from the refinery, and he
                      suggested Public Affairs Manager Shannon Breuer.

                      K.H.   discussed     her   efforts    to   recruit    a    PECO
                      representative for participation on the Task Force. B.D.
                      suggested the name Ralph Brown as a possible PECO
                      representative. There were no other suggestions from the
                      attendees.     The concensus of the group was that the
                      paring down of the mailing list should be left to the
                      discretion of DCPD based on suggestions they have
                      received     and    on    the   participation      level     of
                      individuals/organizations.

                      The discussion turned to the Task Force bylaws.            K.H.
                      explained that it is expected that the Task Force would
                      operate on a concensus basis, but that the reason for the
                      membership and voting language in the draft bylaws was to
                      establish provisions for voting procedures if, for some
                      reason, a concensus could not be reached. Attendees did
                      not question the rationale.        K.H. asked for comments
                      about the proposed changes to Sections I and II of the









                      bylaws. The group agreed that the proposed changes were
                      fine.

                      K.H. went on to discuss possible changes to Sections
                      IIA., IIB., and IIC which refer to the perceived roles
                      and responsibilities of the Task Force. B.D. suggested
                      to include "New Castle County" under Section IIB1. Bob
                      Tudor (B.T.) suggested that other funding options shou;ld-
                      be listed under Section IIC1. K.H. responded that DCPD
                      would furnish more options under this section.

                      K.H. explained the rationale behind the jurisdiction
                      language in Section III. The attendees did not object to
                      any of the language in this section. Further discussion
                      on the bylaws was tabled for future meetings.

                      K.H. referred to waterfront topics that were previously
                      discussed as possible issues the Task Force may want to
                      address. B.P. asked about the issues mentioned in the
                      Waterfront Resources -Management Plan, 1992 prepared by
                      DCPD and recommended that the Task Force start addressing
                      those issues first.     K.H. said that DPCD will extract
                      some of the issues from the plan and prepare a list for
                      the September meeting.      The discussion about possible
                      issues the Task Force should considering addressing
                      ensued. By the conclusion of the discussion, it appeared
                      the public access, recreation, and waterfront gambling
                      were the "hot" topics that the group felt strongly about.
                      Another "hot" topic that was mentioned was the reuse of
                      abandoned industrial sites and its effect on waterfront
                      redevelopment.     Since the guest speaker was going to
                      address this issuel further discussion on this was put
                      aside until later in the agenda.


             V.       New Business


                      B.T. announced that a one-day workshop sponsored by the
                      Delaware Estuary Program and the Ridly-Chester-Crum
                      Watershed Association will be held on November 18. More
                      details will be provided at the September meeting.

                      Francie Howat (F.H.) provided information on the Baldwin
                      Towers project in Eddystone.       She stated that a major
                      tenant will be moving in on November 1st and a ribbon
                      cutting ceremony would follow soon thereafter.            F.H.
                      promised to invite the Task Force members.

                      B.P. reminded everyone about the CZM grant funding round
                      and that the deadline for grant proposals is October 15.
                      He felt the Task Force should find out what projects are
                      being proposed from Delaware County and should consider
                      endorsing and/or supporting specific projects.            B.D.
                      agreed with B.P. and strongly encouraged participation in









                     the CZM project grant application process. He felt that
                     more participation would make the projects more
                     competitive and produce more quality proposals.

                     K.H. reiterated the importance of supporting the Delaware
                     County CZM grant applications and how presenting a united
                     front would gain leverage with the CZM Steering
                     Committee.   She explained that in comparison with Erie--
                     County, the other Pennsylvania coastal zone, the grant
                     selection process is slanted in the Delaware River
                     coastal zone because this coastal zone spans more than
                     one    Pennsylvania    county.        Delaware     County's
                     representation on the CZM Steering Committee is limited
                     to three entities whereas Philadelphia has over f ive
                     representatives.    Hence, the importance f or Delaware
                     County entities to support each other's proposals is
                     obvious.

                     B.D. inquired about the Ridley Township Ball Park study
                     and referred to the possibility of bringing about better
                     coordination among parties that would be affected by the
                     construction of the Ball Park.       John Pickett (J.P.)
                     offered to arrange a presentation for the Task Force on
                     the study's results.


           V1.       Brownfields Legislation

                     Bruce Beitler (B.B.) of the DEP Environmental Clean-ups
                     Program gave an overview of the federal and state change
                     in attitude and perspective towards the clean-up of
                     abandoned industrial sites (brownfields).     He remarked
                     that   previous   legislation    seemed   to   deter    the
                     redevelopment of brownfields because the risk to
                     developers was very high, and the clean-up standards
                     seemed arbitrary. He stated that Pennsylvania passed a
                     3-part legislative package, effective July 18, 1995, that
                     intends to alleviate the problems associated with
                     previous state legislation. B.B. commented that the DEP
                     Southeast region staff is still receiving training on
                     implementation of the new legislation and that the
                     learning curve is in effect.

                     Under the new legislation, the developer may choose
                     between 3 categorical standards of remediation, all of
                     which incorporate the federal requirements.             The
                     standards'   categories    are  more    clearly    defined;
                     therefore, the developer   has a better understanding of
                     what to expect and incurs less risk. B.B. cautioned that
                     the new legislation does  not relieve banks and economic
                     development corporations  from federal liability. He felt
                     that the upcoming Superfund Reauthorization will address
                     the liability issue at the federal level.









                     K. H. inquired about remediation requirements based on
                     present day use (zoning) versus possible future use on a
                     particular site. B.B. responded that the remediated site
                     would be deed restricted and that a change in use
                     (depending on use) may require further remediation.


          VII.       Next Meeting(s)                                          <- --

                     K.H. announced that the next meeting would be held on
                     Monday, September 25, 1995 at 3:00 p.m. in the Tinicum
                     Township Municipal Building and that the guest speaker
                     would talk about sustainable development and the Delaware
                     Estuary Program and would provide an update on the
                     Delaware Estuary Comprehensive Conservation management
                     Plan.


                     The meeting adjourned.

          DATE            OCTOBER 4, 1995

               As you may be aware DCPD has decided to pare down the original
          lengthy mailing list due to budget and time constraints.        This
          mailing is the first to reflect the shortened list. In order to
          keep you abreast of the Task Force's activities, you will remain on
          the mailing list and will continue to receive meeting notices,
          minutes and all other official Task Force correspondence.

               Enclosed are the September 25, 1995 attendance list and
          meeting minutes of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.
          Also enclosed are directions and the agenda for the October
          meeting, which will be held at the Chester city municipal Building,
          3rd Floor, Council Chambers, Sth & Welsh Streets on October 23,
          1995 at 3:00 p.m.

               As stated in the September meeting minutes, we have included
          a list of "rallying" issues and ranking criteria by which the Task
          Force may use to prioritize the issues. Please rank the issues and
          forward your responses to DCPD by October 16, 1995. Responses may
          be faxed to (610) 891-5203.       Thank you in advance for your
          cooperation.

               See you on the 23rd.

          SUBJECT         OCTOBER COASTAL ZONE TASK FORCE MEETING


          DATE            OCTOBER 4, 1995

               As you  may be awa re, DCPD has organized the Delaware County
          coastal Zone Task Force comprised of coastal zone municipal
          ?f f icials and representatives f rom various businesses, industries,
          interest groups and County agencies to essentially address issues
          concerning the Delaware County waterfront. Although Ridley Park
          Borough does not abut the river, portions of the municipality
          officially lie within the coastal zone, and activities along the
          waterfront are likely to impact your municipality. Therefore, DCPD
          invites and strongly encourages your participation on the Task
          Force.

               DCPD requests that each coastal zone municipality designate an
          official representative to the Task Force.             The official
          representative should be able to regularly attend meetings which
          are usually held at 3:00 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month;
          however, we do expect that the Task Force will meet less frequently
          starting the beginning of the new year.       In addition, the Task
          Force representative will receive meeting notices, minutes, and
          other official Task Force correspondence. Please notify DCPD with
          the name of your official representative. In any event, DCPD will
          send the Task Force's meeting notices and minutes to you in order
          to keep the municipality abreast of the Task Force's activities.

               Enclosed are the September 25, 1995 attendance list and
          meeting minutes of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.
          Also enclosed are directions and the agenda for the October
          meeting, which will be held at the Chester city municipal Buildingg
          3rd Floor, Council Chambers, Sth and Welsh Streets on October 23,
          199S at 3:00 p.m.

               We look forward to working with Ridley Park in the near
          future. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

          This mailing is the first one to reflect the shortened list. In

          activities, you will remain on the mailing list and will continue
          to receive meeting notices, minutes, and other pertinent
          information.

               DCPD had requested that each municipality designate an
          official representative to the Task Force. Although DCPD hasn't
          received official notification from Chester City, we assume that
          Bill Payne will officially represent Chester City on the Task Force
          since  he    has  been   regularly   attending  meetings   on    the
          municipality's behalf. Mr. Payne will also remain on the mailing
          list and will receive all official Task Force correspondence. If
          another or additional person has been selected to represent Chester
          City on the Task Force, please notify DPCD as soon as possible; so
          that, we can update the mailing list.     Thank you in advance for
          your cooperation.

          DATE           OCTOBER 4, 1995

                As you may be aware, DCPD decided to pare down the original
          lengthy Task Force mailing list due to time and budget constraints.
          This mailing is the first one to reflect the shortened list.

               DCPD had requested that each municipality designate an
          official representative to the Task Force. Although DCPD hasn't
          received official notification from Eddystone Borough, we assume
          that you will officially represent Eddystone Borough on the Task
          Force since you have been regularly attending meetings on the
          municipality's behalf.   You will remain on the mailing list and
          will receive all official Task Force correspondence. If another
          person has been selected to represent Eddystone Borough on the Task
          Force, please notify DPCD as soon as possible; so that, we can
          update the mailing  list.

               Enclosed are   the September 25, 1995 attendance list and
          meeting minutes of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.
          Also enclosed are directions and the agenda for the October
          meeting, which will be held at the Chester city municipal Building,
          3rd Floor, Council  Chambers, Sth    Welsh Streets on October 23,
          1995 at 3:00 p.m.

               As stated in the September meeting minutes, we have included
          a list of "rallying" issues and ranking criteria by which the Task
          Force may use to prioritize the issues. Please rank the issues and
          forward your responses to DCPD by October 16, 1995. Responses may
          be faxed to (610) 891-5203.       Thank you in advance for your
          cooperation.

               See you on the 23rd.

               As you  may be aware, DCPD has organized the Delaware County
          Coastal Zone Task Force comprised of coastal zone municipal
          ?f f icials and representatives f rom various businesses, industries,
          interest groups and County agencies to essentially address issues
          concerning the Delaware County waterfront. Since portions of your
          municipality officially lie within the coastal zone, activities
          along the waterfront are likely to impact your municipality.
          Therefore, DCPD invites and strongly encourages your participation
          on the Task Force.

               DCPD requests that each coastal zone municipality designate an
          official representative to the Task Force.             The official
          representative should be able to regularly attend meetings which
          are usually held at 3:00 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month;
          however, we do expect that the Task Force will meet less frequently
          starting the beginning of the new year.       In addition, the Task
          Force representative will receive meeting notices, minutes, and
          other official Task Force correspondence. Please notify DCPD with
          the name of your official representative. In any event, DCPD will
          send the Task Force's meeting notices and minutes to you in order

                       The Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force
                                      Meeting Minutes
                                     September 25, 1995


              I.      Introductions

                      County Principal Planner, Karen Holra (K.H.) thank,@=-d-
                      everyone for their attendance, and everyone introduced
                      themselves.


             Ii.      Review Minutes

                      K.H. asked for comments pertaining to meeting minutes
                      from August 28, 1995.       She mentioned that DCPD were
                      already aware that certain names were omitted from the
                      attendance roster and wanted to know if anyone present
                      knew of any other names that were omitted.            No one
                      commented.

            III.      Review Agenda

                      K.H. asked for comments about the September 25 meeting
                      agenda.    No one in audience commented; however, K.H.
                      stated that discussion on the "Membership" section of the
                      Bylaws would be tabled for the October meeting due to a
                      lack of municipal representation at this meeting.

             IV.      Old Business


                      K.H. discussed the "Issues" listed on the handout that
                      was available at the sign-in table. She elaborated on
                      the issues that were either pulled from the Waterfront
                      Plan or generated by Task Force members or generated by
                      DCPD staff.     She gave examples of how some of the
                      planning issues could be addressed by the Task Force via
                      DCPD and how transportation issues could be addressed via
                      the DELCO TMA. Then K.H. asked if there were any issues
                      that should be added to the list.        Bill Payne (B.P.)
                      suggested that no additions should be made and that the
                      Task Force should concentrate on the ones already on the
                      list. He also suggested that ranking criteria should be
                      developed in order to prioritize the issues. K.H. said
                      @hat DCPD would develop ranking criteria and include the
                      issues list along with the ranking criteria in the
                      October Task Force mailing and request responses by the
                      October meeting (October 23rd) . Further discussion about
                      possible issues the Task Force would want to rally around
                      was tabled until the October meeting.

              V.      New Business
                      Discussion, ensued during the information sharing portion
                      of the agenda.       K.H. shared information about the
                      proposal for a permanently moored floating entertainment








                     barge in Tinicum.       She explained how this proposal
                     prompted her to realize the difficulty municipalities may
                     have in regulating waterbody/waterfront activities
                     without adequate zoning and land development controls.

                     The siting of waste disposal facilities was also
                     discussed in relation to exclusionary zoning, right of
                     use and municipal impacts. B.P. suggested that the Ta-.rk
                     Force should lobby to have zoning considerations as part
                     of the permit review process.      James Walsh offered to
                     send DCPD the review requirements for waste disposal
                     permits.

                     K.H. explained that DCPD staff had been on a bus tour
                     consisting of coastal zone sites highlighted in the 1992
                     Waterfront Plan.      K.H. proposed that DCPD arrange a
                     similar bus tour for interested Task Force participants
                     in addition to or in lieu of the November meeting. The
                     consensus was that a mid-morning to early afternoon (i.e.
                     10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) tour should be arranged in lieu of a
                     November Task Force meeting. K. H. said DCPD would follow
                     up and provide more details in the October mailing and at
                     the October meeting.

           VI.       Delaware Estuary Program

                     James Walsh (J.W.) , Pennsylvania Coordinator for the
                     Delaware Estuary Program, gave an overview of the
                     Management Conference of the Delaware Estuary Program and
                     explained the status of the Comprehensive Conservation
                     Management Plan (CCMP) for the estuary. J.W. said the
                     theme of the CCMP is sustainable development and places
                     a heavy emphasis on achieving and maintaining an
                     environmentally and economically sound estuary.            He
                     showed how implementation of the action items in the CCMP
                     would accomplish this goal.

          VII.       Next Meeting(s)

                     K.H. announced that the next meeting would be held on
                     Monday, October 23, 1995 at 3:00 p.m. in the City of
                     Chester and that the Bill Payne would talk about
                     Chester's coastal zone initiatives.

                     K.H. reminded everyone that the bus tour would take the
                     place of the November meeting. She also stated that no
                     meeting will be held in December because of the chaos
                     associated with the holiday season.

                     The meeting adjourned.

           TO             DELAWARE COUNTY COASTAL ZONE TASK FORCE MEMBERS-


           FROM           JOHN E. PICKETT, AICP
                          DIRECTOR


           SUBJECT        OCTOBER MEETING MINUTES


           DATE           NOVEMBER 6, 1995


                Enclosed are the.October 23, 1995 attendance list and meeting
           minutes of the Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force.         Also
           enclosed is the issues/activities ranking sheet that was supposed
           to accompany the October mailing.    If you did not complete and
           return a form at the last meeting, please fill out the enclosed
           form and return it to DCPD at the address above by November 27,
           1995. If you have any questions concerning the form please do not
           hesitate to contact Karen Holm or Sherice Trotter of my staff at
           (610) 891-5200.

                As stated in the meeting minutes, there will not be any Task
           Force meeting held in November or December; therfore, except for
           information about the Bus Tour, this will most likely be the last
           official Task Force correspondence in 1995.      Details about the
           January 1996 meeting will be sent out during the first week of the
           new year.

                DCPD would like to thank all Task Force participants for their
           input. We look forward to working with you in 1996.

                        The Delaware County Coastal Zone Task Force
                                        Meeting Minutes
                                       October 23, 1995


               I.      Introductions

                       County Principal Planner, Karen Holm (K.H.) thanked-
                       everyone for their attendance, and everyone introduced
                       themselves.



              Ii.      Review Minutes

                       K.H. asked for comments pertaining to meeting minutes
                       from September 25, 1995. No one commented.


            III.       Review Agenda -

                       K.H. asked for comments about the October 23rd meeting
                       agenda. No one in audience commented.


              IV.      Old Business

                       K.H. distributed and explained the "Issues Ranking
                       Sheet".   She requested that all attendees fill out the
                       form and turn it in to a DCPD staff member before leaving
                       the meeting.

                       The group discussed the "Membership" section of the
                       Bylaws. Bill Payne (B.P.) questioned who would decide
                       which citizen groups should participate. K.H. explained
                       that this would be a function of the Executive Committee
                       and that the Executive Committee would be comprised of
                       the official participating municipal representatives.

                       Another major matter was mentioned by Bruce Dorbian
                       (B.D.).     He was concerned that the non-municipal
                       representation      would      outweigh     the      municipal
                       representation because it appears that more non-municipal
                       entities have been represented at the Task Force
                       meetings. The comment prompted K.H. to poll the group
                       about whether or not they felt the continuation of the
                       Task Force would be a worthwhile effort considering we
                       have had less than the desired participation level by
                       municipalities. The general concensus was that the Task
                       Force is a good idea and could be an ef f ective and
                       productive group, but the success would be limited if
                       more   of    the   coastal    zone    municipalities      don't
                       participate. Sherice Trotter (S.T.) stated that only 5
                       of the 14 coastal zone municipalities have showed a
                       consistent interest in the Task Force.                  Several









                      suggestions were made to get the other 9 municipalities
                      "on board. 11   Most of the suggestions centered around
                      economic development and coupling County funds for
                      development in the coastal zone with participation on the
                      Task Force.

                      The group also felt that although the main objective of
                      the Task Force is to generate a regional perspective for-
                      redevelopment of the waterfront, one role of the group
                      should be to help the municipalities deal with issues
                      that may only affect 1 or 2 municipalities. Michael Wolf
                      commented that there is a wealth of expertise in the
                      group that could be used to benefit individual
                      municipalities when needed. For discussion purposes, the
                      group used the proposed "Floating Entertainment and
                      Conference Center" development in Tinicum Township as a
                      prime example of a type of matter that could arise in an
                      individual municipality with which the group could
                      possibly provide technical assistance.             The group
                      discussed how they could approach municipalities that
                      could benefit from the group's assistance.                 s.T.
                      commented that a Task Force meeting could be the prime
                      forum to discuss the issue with Tinicum representatives
                      if they were present.


             V.       New Business

                      K.H. reported that the Coastal Zone Bus Tour, in lieu of
                      a November Task Force meeting, is tentatively scheduled
                      for November 17, 1995 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. She sent
                      around a sign-up sheet and explained that 20 seats were
                      available on a first-come-first-served basis for Task
                      Force Members.


                      S.T. mentioned that she had attended an Urban Waterfronts
                      National Conference in Portland, Oregon on October 19-21,
                      1995.    She said the workshops she attended were very
                      informative and that the conference was a great way to
                      become a part of a valuable information network. S.T.
                      said she would be prepared to give a more detailed
                      report at the January meeting.


            VI.       Public Access - Chester City Boat Ramp Master Plan

                      Bill Payne (B.P.) , Director of Chester City Planning
                      Department gave an overview of the Chester City Boat Ramp
                      Master Plan and the Chester City Waterfront District
                      Zoning Overlay.      He explained that both projects are
                      funded by CZM grants. The presentation consisted of a
                      slide presentation of the diverse Chester waterfront, of
                      the details for the expansion of the Chester City boat
                      ramp, and of the plans for mixed uses in the

         presentation on the Waterfront Plan and your possible role on the
         Task Force at your municipal council workshop/caucus meeting.

          SUBJECT         ITINERARY


          DATE            NOVEMBER 9, 1995


                As previously noted, the tour is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 12
          noon. We will meet at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at
          Tinicum Visitor Contact Station, and the bus will depart promptly
          at 8:00 a.m. Schedule adherence is of great importance; therefore,
          we ask that everyone arrive at the Wildlife Refuge in a timely
          fashion. Ample parking is available at the Wildlife Refuge. The
          entrance to the Wildlife Refuge can be accessed in Philadelphia
          from the intersection of 84th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard right
          over the Darby Township border. Directions are enclosed along with
          a list of sites that will be highlighted during the trip. We will
          return at approximately 11:30 a.m. for a visit at the Wildlife
          Refuge.    Upon conclusion of the tour, you would be welcome to
          further explore the Wildlife Refuge on your own.

                If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call
          Karen Holm or Sherice Trotter of my staff at (610) 891-5200.
