Conewago supervisors approve Mapledale Road subdivision, revised stormwater plan and order RETTEW traffic study
Summary
On March 3, 2025, the Conewago Township Board of Supervisors approved a subdivision plan on Mapledale Road and a revised Lutzkanin stormwater management plan conditional on engineering comments, and voted to hire RETTEW for a traffic study at the Cedar/Ridge/Schoolhouse intersection.
Conewago Township's Board of Supervisors on March 3 approved several land‑use and engineering items, including a subdivision plan for property on Mapledale Road, conditional approval of a revised Lutzkanin stormwater management plan and a contract to hire engineering firm RETTEW to study truck traffic at the intersection of Cedar, Ridge and Schoolhouse Roads. Chair Mimi Legro made the motions; Vice‑Chair Mike Long seconded and the motions passed unanimously.
The board approved the Mapledale Road subdivision plan contingent on satisfying comments in a RETTEW letter dated 02/20/2025 and granted waivers and modifications for curb and sidewalk (606 & 607) and additional right‑of‑way and cartway requirements (613). The minutes record the motion as approved without recorded dissent.
Separately, the board gave conditional approval to the revised Lutzkanin Stormwater Management Plan, subject to satisfying comments in a RETTEW letter dated 01/22/2025. The board recorded those comments as the basis for final sign‑off, meaning the township will not finalize the plan until engineering conditions are met.
The board also approved a temporary zoning permit for Swope for calendar year 2025. All three land‑use and engineering items were moved by Chair Legro and seconded by Vice‑Chair Long. The minutes show "all in favor; motion carried." No substantive public comments or staff objections to these approvals were recorded during the meeting.
What happens next: the Mapledale approval is conditional on meeting RETTEW's comments; the Lutzkanin stormwater plan likewise requires engineering sign‑off before final acceptance. The RETTEW traffic study will measure truck movements and inform whether the township should adopt truck restrictions or other roadway changes at that intersection.
