Communications – None.
Discussion Items:
Mr. Colagreco discussed that the zoning amendment for Wild Meadows was changed as advised by the Planning Commission at the August 20th, 2019 meeting. The Planning Commission asked that the Commercial piece be taken out of the proposed Zoning Amendment. Mr. Colagreco explained that this was done. Ken Simon thanked him for coming.
Mr. Simon asked for a recommendation for Conditional Approval for the Final Minor Land Development plan based on the review letter from ARRO dated October 9, 2019. The motion was moved by Mr. Caporale and seconded by Mr. Benko. Poll: al ayes Motion, passed.
Mr. Colagreco showed the Caln Plaza shopping center and a Sketch Plan for a proposed Dunkin Donuts. It’s location in on North Caln Road and Lincoln Highway. It would be where the old car wash was and where a 4 unit apartment building is. In order to put a Dunkin Donuts there they will need a Conditional Use approval for a drive thru. They will also need variance relief for the trash location because it’s too close to the property line. For their sign they will also need a variance from the Zoning board. Their next step is to file applications with the Township for the Conditional Use and Zoning Variances.
The commission had a question regarding 350 ft. separation between signs. Is that just on the same property frontage? Or does it apply to all signs?
Project timeclock expiration dates:
Villages at Hillview valid until October 11, 2019
95 Foundry Street valid until December 16, 2019
