Bern supervisors approve Grandview Estates plan, Berks Park agreements and add traffic-signage change
Summary
The board conditionally approved the Grandview Estates final land development plan (subject to SSM's Jan. 6 review and sewer modules), approved Berks Park Building E municipal and stormwater agreements, agreed to add 'No U-Turn' signage on Route 183, and waived a conflict for a small Ziegler Road stormwater matter to avoid extra resident legal costs.
Bern Township supervisors on Feb. 2 approved multiple planning and zoning items, including a conditioned final land development plan for Grandview Estates and municipal and stormwater agreements for Berks Park Building E.
Township Manager Brian Potts said the Planning Commission recommended approval of Grandview Estates conditioned on compliance with the SSM review letter dated Jan. 6, 2021, and on submission of required sewer modules. Supervisor Jeff Thompson moved to approve the Grandview Estates Final Land Development Plan on that basis; the motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved a Municipal Improvements Agreement and a Stormwater Agreement for Berks Park Building E, after Mr. Potts said attorney Mooney and Engineer Kent Morey reviewed the documents. Separately, the supervisors discussed adding 'No U-Turn' signage on Route 183 north of Route 222 and agreed to include the change in the township ordinance.
On a related procedural matter, Mr. Potts asked the board to waive a conflict for the law firm Barley Snyder so residents involved in a Ziegler Road residential addition stormwater agreement would not incur additional legal costs. Attorney Timothy Dietrich told the board the prior legal work referenced did not relate to the real-estate transaction. The supervisors unanimously waived the Barley Snyder conflict for that limited stormwater matter.
The board did not provide further technical details during the meeting; the Grandview Estates approval remains conditioned on addressing outstanding SSM review items and submitting sewer modules.
