Plan Commission approves amended Commonwealth land-development plan adding evidence-storage building
Summary
The Plan Commission approved an amended land-development plan presented by a Commonwealth representative to add an unheated 40x60 evidence-storage building, with a new fire line and hydrant to meet the ordinance requirement of a hydrant within 500 feet; staff said stormwater capacity is sufficient.
A representative for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Department of General Services presented an amended land-development plan proposing a roughly 40-by-60-foot unheated evidence-storage building and an improved access path. The presenter said the agency is adding an 11-foot-wide driveway with a 7-foot improved stone shoulder to meet an 18-foot required access width and that a separate fire line and hydrant would be installed to ensure a hydrant lies within the ordinance limit of 500 feet of the structure.
Commissioners asked about stormwater and site capacity; staff said existing stormwater infrastructure could handle the additional impervious surface. The representative described the building as cold storage, intended for longer-term evidence storage rather than active case work, and said it will not be a staffed office building.
A commissioner moved to approve the amended plan as presented; the motion passed with no conditions recorded in the transcript.
