MEMO To: Zoning Hearing Board
FROM: Jeff Hogg, Residential Zoning Officer
TOPIC: Scudder Residence – 1112 Fairview Avenue
APPLICATION:
Jonathan Scudder, owner of a property located at 1112 Fairview Ave. is requesting
a Variance from Section 424, “Area, Yard and Height Regulations” of the Borough
of Wyomissing Zoning Ordinance.
COMMENTS:
1. The property is located in the R-2 Suburban Residential District. The property
measures approximately 6534 sq ft and is non-conforming for the minimum
lot size of 12,000 sq ft for a single-family detached dwelling in that Zoning
District.
2. The property has a frontage along Fairview and Terrace Avenues (parallel
streets) and is bordered on both sides by other residential parcels.
3. The existing dwelling is located approximately 4.1 feet from the eastern side
property lines and approximately 11.89 feet from the western side property
line, and is therefore considered non-conforming for the minimum side yard
setback of 15’ per side required by Section 424 of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Currently, the property has 980 sq ft of building coverage, which is roughly
15.1% of the total lot. This is conforming with the maximum permitted 25%
allowed by Section 424.
5. As an existing non-conforming building, Section 704.3 of the Zoning
Ordinance only allows additions to be constructed where all portions of the
addition are located wi

by Charlotte Keith of Spotlight PA | Feb. 16, 2026
SUSAN ANGSTADT FOR SPOTLIGHT PA
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania urgently needs to build more homes, Gov. Josh
Shapiro said on Thursday as he unveiled a wide-ranging plan to tackle
Pennsylvania's housing shortage, expand protections for renters, and reduce
homelessness.
In recent years, Pennsylvania has lagged almost every other state in adding new
housing. At current rates, state officials estimate, Pennsylvania will be short
185,000 housing units by 2035.
Shapiro said his plan offers a coordinated long-term strategy to reverse this
trend, which has led to soaring rental and home prices.

Job Classification Request
During 2025, the Leads and I noticed an employee that exceeded their job classification.
To continue the growth in the Public Works department, it's important to acknowledge
when an employee has exceeded their job classification.
Jake is scheduled for his next increase on 3/25/2027. He is currently making $34.46 as a
junior operator, looking to increase his wage to $38.46 with the classification change to
senior operator. This request is not included in the 2026 budget, but due to cost savings of
$4,400 in code line 454-740 and $2,640 in line 454-130 no additional funds are being
requested.

Below is a summary of two programs offered by the PA Game Commission that could be considered for
management of the deer herd within the Borough’s parklands. There is a very high probability one of
these options need to be undertaken before the PA Game Commission would permit the USDA to come
in with sharpshooters to cull the herd.
Certified Hunter Access Program (CHP)
- Currently a pilot program to be tentatively approved by the PA Game Commission to proceed at
their April 2026 meeting
- Archery only
- Hunters vetted by the PA Game Commission – includes background check, Game Commission
background check, hunter etiquette test, archery proficiency test
- Borough could limit the number of hunters allowed and the window of time for hunting.
Reservation only through PA Game Commission website, assigned hunting spots/locations
meaning the entire parklands would not necessarily need to be open for hunting. This could
allow for signage and advance public notice as to specific areas of the parklands where hunting
would occur.
- Borough would have definitive harvest numbers based on issuance of our own tags in
conjunction with the PA Game Commission

Date: 2/23/26
To: Wyomissing Fire and Police Committee
From: John G. Phillips, Chief of Police
RE: Noise
Members of Wyomissing Borough Fire and Police Committee,
I am writing to recommend that the Borough of Wyomissing move forward with the creation of a more in depth
noise ordinance.
The Police Department has seen an increase in noise-related complaints, particularly those involving amplified
music, late-night gatherings, commercial activity, and other disturbances that impact residents’ quality of life.
These calls are often recurring in nature and require police response.
I intentionally delayed bringing this request forward until the seating of the new Council, believing it was
appropriate to allow the new governing body the opportunity to consider this issue with fresh perspective.
Given the continued frequency of complaints, I believe this is an appropriate time to formally recommend that a
noise ordinance be developed.
In creating a noise ordinance, I strongly recommend that determinations of excessive or unlawful noise not be
based on subjective opinion. Instead, the ordinance should establish clearly defined, measurable standards—
such as specific decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and duration thresholds—so that viola

iscussion of changes to boxes for 2026 nesting season
Older boxes we’d like to replace with new boxes on hand (in rough order of
priority): #2, #6, #10, #26, #20, #28, #11, #12, #29, #24.
Designating boxes #24 and #28 for chickadees. These boxes are among those
favored by chickadees recently and are not in good bluebird habitat. Options for
improving chickadee success include installing entrance hole reducers to
excludelarger birds or acquiring boxes designed specifically for chickadees. Helen
will investigate boxes designed for chickadees.
New locations for some of the boxes that will be replaced: shifts in placement for 3
of the boxes to be replaced were suggested. To be reviewed with Duane Hammond.
Discussion of improvements to predator control
Noel guards are highly effective at preventing nest predation by cats and raccoons,
which stovepipe baffles are the only method helpful in discouraging snakes.
o Quindi will construct several more baffles. He offered to create an order for
pickup by borough staff at the home supply store designated by the boro.

RE: Berks
County Uniform Construction Code Board of Appeals
DATE: Decem
ber 22, 2025
As you m
ay be aware, the County of Berks has established a countywide Board of Appeals for
the Uniform Construction Code, in accordance with Act 45 of 1999 . Act 45 requires each
municipality that has adopted the Uniform Construction Code to establish an Appeals Board to
handle appeals, variances, and time extensions relating to that municipality’s adopted UCC
ordinance. Due to the difficulty of staffing such a board, many municipalities have joined with the
County to take a regional approach to this requirement.
Each munic
ipality that joins the Board is required to pay a $300.00 annual membership fee, which
is used to cover Board operating costs. Although a municipality can opt into the Board at any time
throughout the year, the fee is not prorated for partial-year membership. Each municipality joining
the Board is also required to enter into an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with the
County and the other municipalities who are members of the Board.
In 2021, t
he County of Berks adopted an ordinance (Berks County Ordinance No. 02-2021)
amending the i ntergovernmental cooperation agreement used to continue operations of the
Board. Due to this recent amendment, all current and new member municipalities must execute
the new agreement in order to continue participatio

Borough of Wyomissing
22 Reading Boulevard
Wyomissing, PA 19610
Dear Ms. Bare:
I am writing to express my interest in serving a three-year term on the Wyomissing Zoning
Hearing Board. As a long-time Borough resident, a mechanical engineer by training, and
someone deeply familiar with municipal processes and ordinances, I believe I can add value to
the Board’s quasi-judicial responsibilities and its commitment to fairness, clarity, and due
process.
Professional & Technical Qualifications
I hold a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and currently work in Capital Projects for the
City of Reading, where I manage multi-million-dollar infrastructure initiatives that require close
coordination with engineers, contractors, permitting agencies, state code requirements, and
public stakeholders. This work demands:
● Careful review of technical drawings and specifications
● Understanding of design intent, safety standards, and construction implications
● Adherence to regulatory frameworks including zoning, stormwater, accessibility (ADA),
and PA municipal codes
● Clear documentation, records management, and transparent decision-making
These are directly relevant to the Zoning Hearing Board’s role in evaluating variance requests,
special exceptions, and appeals.
Experience with Municipal Procedure & Ordinances
As reflected throughout the official Borough minutes, I am an active participant in Council and
