Millcreek supervisors approve three minor subdivision and land‑development plans
Summary
The Millcreek Township Board approved a Bergeron re‑plot, a McDonald's rear‑lot subdivision and a Westminster Place office development after public hearings and planning‑commission recommendations; the board emphasized stormwater reviews and standard setback rules.
The Millcreek Township Board of Supervisors on March 24 approved three land‑use applications, including a minor re‑plot for John B. and Roselyn A. Bergeron, a rear‑lot subdivision involving McDonald's USA LLC, and a land‑development plan for Westminster Place Partnership.
Director of Planning Matt Waldinger introduced the Bergeron re‑plot as a minor subdivision that shows the re‑plot of two existing parcels at 4433 Asbury Road with no change to lot lines or acreage; the Planning Commission had recommended approval. Surveyor Mike Sanford said the plan “does not require any variances or modifications” and offered to answer questions. Resident Daria Cipriani told the board she has repeatedly raised concerns about the Bergeron parcel’s runoff and erosion and provided photos of recent ponding; she said past unauthorized clearing and burn activity left the lot “an eyesore.” Builder Tim Pagano said the applicant is working on stormwater design and consulting with neighbors to address pond maintenance.
After hearing testimony, the board closed the public hearing and approved the Bergeron re‑plot (motion by Supervisor [speaker 4], seconded by Supervisor Morris; unanimous vote).
Waldinger then presented a minor subdivision by McDonald’s to convey a 0.239‑acre strip at 2643 West 26th Street to create a .876‑acre lot at 2640 Zook Road. Sanford described the parcel as a rear‑lot addition requested to provide parking for a nearby medical clinic; he said a depth‑to‑width modification was requested and noted the upcoming land‑development submission for a parking lot. The board voted to approve the McDonald’s subdivision (motion, second, unanimous).
Finally, the board reviewed a land development plan from Westminster Place Partnership for a 9,820‑square‑foot professional office north of 2530 Village Common Drive. Sanford said the applicant received a zoning‑hearing‑board variance to exceed the ordinance’s maximum parking standard and that the project will be served by public sewer and water; stormwater plans are under review by the township engineer and the conservation district. The supervisors approved the Westminster Place plan (motion, second, unanimous).
The board and staff emphasized that approvals do not remove applicable setback or zoning requirements: as Waldinger noted, the Bergeron approval removes a recorded building line but the owner “would be subject to the current zoning setback.” The developers and surveyors said they will continue to work with township engineering and conservation staff on stormwater measures.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the votes.
