Council reviews Clearview Federal Credit Union plan for Mansfield Avenue site
Summary
Council received a presentation from the applicant’s representative on a new Clearview Federal Credit Union building at the former Vincent’s site (333 Mansfield Ave), including two drive‑through lanes, stormwater measures and lighting mitigations; council indicated support and moved forward with required waivers.
Councilors heard a land‑development presentation and plan details for a proposed Clearview Federal Credit Union branch at 333 Mansfield Avenue (the former Vincent’s site).
Brian Almeter, the applicants' representative, described the project as a two‑story building of about 4,900 square feet with two drive‑through lanes stacked in the rear, 23 parking spaces and on‑site stormwater management. He said the site is approximately 0.9 acres, is zoned office commercial and lies adjacent to an on‑ramp to the Parkway West.
Lighting and traffic were the principal concerns raised. Almeter told council the team submitted a photometric plan to address nighttime glare and said the building’s channel glass includes a dimming feature; the architect and owner are willing to adjust if borough staff or residents request changes. Council members asked whether PennDOT had been consulted about proximity to the ramp; Almeter said the applicants have been in communication with PennDOT.
Council voted to accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and to allow the requested waivers from Chapter 300 requirements contingent on addressing LSSE engineering comments and the outstanding items noted in the review letter.
Next steps: The developer will continue responding to LSSE comments and work with borough staff on final plan revisions and any necessary permit conditions.
