Board reviews Univest bank rebuild and a lot-line adjustment proposal; zoning hearing may be required for land-locked parcel
Summary
Representatives presented a final/preliminary plan for a smaller Univest bank at 4285 Township Line Road and a lot-line adjustment by Ironwood Group LLC to remedy a landlocked parcel; staff said Univest’s plan can proceed with technical revisions and the Ironwood proposal may require a zoning hearing/variance because the adjusted lot still won't meet interior-lot standards.
Two land-development proposals were reviewed at the June 12 meeting.
Univest representatives and Gilmore Associates presented a plan to reconstruct a smaller bank building on 4285 Township Line Road after a previous building fire. The proposal would reuse existing utilities and stormwater infrastructure and preserve a recorded plan entitlement for an unbuilt office building. Planning staff recommended preparing a conditional-resolution of approval for board action at the next meeting after consultant comments and minor plan revisions.
Separately, Ironwood Group LLC presented a lot-line adjustment to convey approximately 6 acres to a landlocked three-acre parcel so it can obtain legal road frontage on McGregor Drive. Staff noted that even after the conveyance the parcel would still fall short of several zoning dimensional requirements for interior/flag lots. The township zoning officer and staff recommended the applicant pursue a zoning hearing/variance to resolve the dimensional nonconformity; the board asked the solicitor to prepare a resolution of conditional approval that would be contingent on zoning-board action and the completion of technical plan revisions.
Board members and staff discussed permitting steps, sidewalk connectivity (noted in the Univest review) and the need to keep the record clear for future development rights.
