 \”Sorry, Opie, you can\’t play basketball in the street. Andy the sheriff\’s camper has to be moved from your private property.

\”Barney, we have to enforce our ordinances. Aunt Bee, you must help to keep Mayberry beautiful.\”

If Mayor John Soubasis\’ statement holds true, Brooklawn is the new \”Mayberry,\” and the above situations will have to be complied with – as well as several other ordinances discussed by Brooklawn Borough Council at its recent meeting.

The governing body\’s goal is to keep Brooklawn beautiful.

\”We run into some roadblocks as far as residents\’ hesitations in calling to report a neighbor that may be in violation of an ordinance,\” the mayor said.

An ordinance amending Chapter 136 of the municipal code on trailers and camp cars was discussed and voted on with the concept of adding substantial changes to the ordinance.

\”My son, who is a teacher in New Orleans, was displaced due to Katrina and had to stay in a camper on someone\’s property for a week. Don\’t abolish campers on public property,\” said resident Anthony Cippolini during the public portion.

\”Our first concern is safety. Fire and police equipment find it hard to get through some streets and around corners due to some vehicle parking,\” Soubasis said.

\”We are trying to make it possible for everyone to live here happily. We did discuss the idea to completely eliminate the vehicles, now we may allow certain size limits of 8\’ by 18\’ on a paved surface,\” he said.

Council members, Theresa Branella, Jerry Granstrom and Thomas MacAdams voted \”no\” for the ordinance. Rickie Boulden, Jim Nolan and Ryan Giles voted \”yes.\”

Mayor Soubasis carefully pondered his decision, which would be a tie- breaker, before voting \”yes.\”

The ordinance that would mean no more parking of trailers and campers in the street or private property was approved, pending the substantial changes, and will be heard again at a public hearing.

\”This is not an easy job,\” Councilwoman Branella said.

\”We are residents too, and have a hard time when we have to dictate what people can or cannot do,\” she said.

Granstrom said he did not agree with the ordinance, \”Especially when it concerns private property.\”

\”We finally came to a point when we must enforce ordinances for the good of the town and residents. We are trying to make improvements in the town,\” he said.

In old business, Council approved an amendment to Chapter 141 that prohibits parking in fire lanes and prohibiting the parking vehicles over 9,000 pounds on the streets.

A letter addressed to the residents from Soubasis explaining the reasons why the code officials will be aggressive in reporting violations will be included in the tax bill notices.

Branella thanked the Brooklawn Fire Department, the fire company Ladies Auxiliary and the EMS squad for their volunteer work on the \”duck race.\”

\”The profit of $109 taken in from the \”dump tank\” will be used for needy families during Christmas time,\” she said.

A Lancaster County bus trip will take place on Saturday, August 4, and will include shopping, a tour of Amish Country and dinner at \”Plain and Fancy\” for the cost of $55.

Call the municipal office for tickets at 456-0750 ext. 162.
