Lower Macungie Township commissioners voted to approve Resolution 2025-14, an amended phasing plan for the Mac Trucks Depot property, at their May 15, 2025 meeting.
Township staff presenter Mr. Bital told commissioners the amended plan updates the previously approved 2019 site plan by making phasing descriptions more specific, addressing concerns about bridge and roadway improvements, and providing for installation of landscaping buffers and a sound wall adjacent to a neighboring property. Staff said these changes were made after hearing feedback from residents and commissioners and recommended board approval.
A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; the board voted in favor. There was no recorded public comment on the item during the meeting. During discussion, a commissioner said they felt more comfortable that the township and the applicant were aligned on staging and mitigation measures.
The vote carries forward the project with the amended phasing and mitigation commitments described by staff; the resolution number on the record is 2025-14. Next procedural steps and any remaining permit or engineering requirements were not specified during the meeting.
