Board approves Lloyd Industries expansion with deferred sidewalk condition and stormwater safeguards
Summary
The board approved Lloyd Industries' land-development plan to add a 10,150 sq ft addition to an existing warehouse at 231 Commerce Drive, granting most requested waivers and deferring sidewalk and curbing requirements until adjoining properties install sidewalks; a condition requires cooperation on stormwater regrading or improvements if needed.
Lloyd Industries requested land-development approval to expand its existing 35,328-square-foot fire-damper manufacturing and warehouse at 231 Commerce Drive by 10,150 square feet. Township staff and the county planning commission reviewed the application; the packet included 11 requested waivers for sidewalks, curbing, stormwater details and other technical items.
Board discussion focused on a specific feature: whether to require sidewalk and related curbing along the Commerce Drive frontage where the cul-de-sac is narrow. Concerned supervisors asserted sidewalks provide pedestrian refuge and long-term benefit; engineers noted the frontage is only about 45 feet with limited pedestrian activity. The board amended waiver items 1–2 so sidewalk and curbing requirements are deferred until adjacent properties install sidewalks or the township requires them contemporaneously. The remainder of the waivers (3–11) were granted and the board adopted Resolution 2025-12 approving the land-development plan with the stated conditions, including a stormwater regrading commitment and cooperation with adjoining owners if a larger improvement is needed.
The applicant agreed to standard conditions, and staff will continue technical review under the normal land-development process and execute the conditions tied to the resolution.
