The Mount Joy Zoning Hearing Board on May 5 approved special exceptions requested by Vistablock Chiques Crossing, LLC to allow a driveway and a public utility to encroach in the floodplain at 3729 Mount Joy Road.
Vice‑Chairman Chris Neiles moved to approve the application under Article 4, Sections 350‑402.O(5) and (6); Nevin Greiner seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to grant the exceptions subject to conditions. The minutes record that the approval included conditions but do not specify those conditions.
The application, filed as Case No. 260006 and continued from an April 7 hearing, listed Brandon Conrad as the applicant contact. Engineering testimony was provided by Brent Good and Tom Devenney of ELA group; Tom Nehilla of Barley Snyder served as the applicant’s legal counsel. Several nearby residents and a borough representative — identified in the minutes as David B. Christian, Bruce Haigh (speaking on behalf of Mount Joy Borough Council), Dennis Ginder and Deborah Eberle — raised concerns and questions during the hearing.
The board’s action authorizes the specific encroachments described in the applicant’s filing under the cited sections of the zoning code, subject to the conditions the board attached. The minutes do not record the text of those conditions or any roll‑call vote breakdown beyond noting the vote was unanimous.
The board then moved on to other business; the meeting adjourned at 9:38 p.m.
