Road building for Sonoma Court, one of the major roads of West Brook Hills II commenced prior to January 2, 2003, when our first photo was taken.  The developer, probably in anticipation of an approval he received on January 13, 2003, began to build the road even though he had no approval for the subdivision.  His work continued through early June, even though complaints of tree farming brought construction officials to the site, and they would have noticed the disturbance. When CLEAN lodged a complaint with the borough,  construction officials claimed that the activity was part of the developer's tree farming activity sanctioned by his forest management plan. The next day, large trees were dragged out of the woods at the road location, in an attempt to make the disturbance appear to be tree farming. But when CLEAN pressed further, the borough engineer stated that the disturbance was preparation for a building lot. CLEAN argued that no lot was shown for that location on the building site plan, but Sonoma Court was. The borough finally conceded, but refused to issue a stop work order, entering into a 'gentleman's agreement' with the developer that he would stop work. No further excavation has been done since that time.
