Hearing on O'Neill subdivision continued
By: Susan L. Serbin
UPPER PROVIDENCE - A zoning hearing scheduled for a development proposed by Sean O'Neill Sr. has been continued due to the unavailability of the project engineer. The Willistown resident, who was indicted in June on federal immigration and weapons charges, has had a North Orange Street subdivision in the works for more than a year.
Attorney Tim Broadt asked the zoning hearing board for a continuance which was granted to the Nov. 19 meeting. The four-lot subdivision requires relief from buffer setback and disturbance of very steep slopes. The project has been represented by a number of professionals and has been scaled back from the original plan with more lots.

On the House: Action, not anger, can save home
By Al Heavens Inquirer Real Estate Columnist
When you've been covering real estate as long as I have, and given the intensity of the economic news of late, you can't help but absorb the anxiety and uncertainty of the people you write about or hear from seven days a week.
I've been checking on 401(k) assets three times a week, to see whether I'll have something to supplement my Social Security and pension checks when I retire.
Immersed as a child in the cautionary tales of my Depression-era parents and grandparents, I've often been described as cheap - in fact, one reader was incredulous that I spend $3.91 for a vente Starbucks latte every Sunday. But lately, I've found myself being even more careful with money.
