Supervisors approve revised Calvary Church phase‑2 preliminary plan, contingent on engineer and zoning comments
Summary
The board approved a revised phase‑2 preliminary land‑development plan for Calvary Church contingent on satisfying remaining township engineer and zoning officer comments; discussion focused on whether phase‑2 parking was shown and whether parking suffices for the smaller proposed addition.
Harris Township supervisors voted July 8 to approve a revised phase‑2 preliminary land‑development plan for Calvary Church, contingent on satisfactory resolution of comments in the township engineer’s June 6, 2024 letter and the zoning officer’s June 14, 2024 letter.
Staff noted the original May 2022 approval carried conditions that were not met, and Pentaira (Pantera) Engineering submitted a revised plan proposing a smaller addition at a somewhat different location. Staff concluded the changes were minor and recommended acceptance of the revised plan for review rather than requiring an entirely new submission.
During discussion board members questioned whether the plan showed phase‑2 parking. Representatives including Ron Borger (Pentaira/Pantera Engineering, appearing by Zoom) explained the 2013 concept showed additional parking for a larger building; the 2024 revision’s reduced building footprint left existing parking adequate for phase‑1 and the proposed phase‑2 addition. Following clarification, a supervisor moved to approve the revised preliminary plan; the motion passed after a roll call with no recorded opposition.
Staff reminded the board that approval and recording of a final land‑development plan would be required before the addition could be permitted and constructed, and that outstanding engineer and zoning comments must be addressed before final approval.
