Napolitano Lightning warning (continued from page 7) for lightning within a two-mile radius. It provides the necessary alerts with a 15-second horn blast followed by flashing strobe lights. Once the system determines that the hazardous condition is past, an all-clear signal of three 5-second blasts of the horn is sounded and the lights stop flashing. The sirens are disabled at night, but the strobe lights remain activated 24-hours. The following are tips previously supplied by Lancaster which residents can follow in case of an electrical storm. Seek shelter in large buildings, lightning shelters, cars/ trucks, or tunnels with no standing water. Dense woods or low-lying areas also offer some protection. Places/things to be avoided include: open areas, water, tall trees, metal fences, overhead wires and power lines, high ground areas, radios, phones and cell phones, and small, unprotected shelters. Park users are warned to immediately seek an appropriate, safe shelter if they believe lightning threatens them, even if a signal has not been sounded. Ethel Miller Small Gerald Christian Kastner Doris Clayton Smith Affordable housing (continued from page11) office building on the lot. The ordinance was sent to the planning board to determine its consistency with the borough’s master plan. After a lengthy discussion at a special meeting of the board, the planners effectively denied a motion to find the rezoning consistent with the borough’s master plan. The planning board did not recommend the rezoning of the property to the council, and the council ultimately decided not to adopt the rezoning ordinance. Subsequently, Commorata expressed his disappointment in the council’s failure to adopt the rezoning ordinance and he advised that he was considering an affordable housing project for the site. He acknowledged that affordable housing is a significantly more intense use of the property than the professional office building he had originally proposed, and that a professional office building would be a complement to the town and would not represent a drain on the schools or the surrounding area. He emphasized, however, that his intent is to create a project that complements the town whether it is a residential affordable housing project or a small professional office building.
