Developer previews 7,800‑sq‑ft sketch plan at Rt. 743 and Ridge Road in Conewago Township
Summary
Randy Wright presented a draft sketch plan for a parcel at Rt. 743 and Ridge Road showing a 7,800‑square‑foot building, trash‑truck parking and service areas; the township solicitor warned the project may require street improvements and the plan will be reviewed further.
Randy Wright presented a draft sketch plan for a parcel at Route 743 and Ridge Road to the Conewago Township Board of Supervisors on Oct. 6, 2025, showing a 7,800‑square‑foot building with space for trash‑truck parking and truck service.
Township Attorney Matt Creme warned the board that the proposed layout "may require improvements to existing streets," and Wright provided a Use Determination Letter to Frank Chlebnikow and Attorney Creme for review. No formal application or vote was recorded; Wright’s presentation was informational and will be reviewed by staff and the Planning Commission.
Board members and staff did not take action on the sketch plan at the meeting. John Crist, speaking during public comment earlier in the meeting, had asked whether the Hershey Free Church parcel had plans submitted for mixed‑use development; officials said the developer will appear for an informal discussion at the Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 27, 2025.
Next steps for the Rt. 743 parcel include internal review of the Use Determination Letter and any required engineering or right‑of‑way improvements; the presentation indicates the project may need street upgrades before formal approval proceedings.
