Board grants waivers, approves land-development actions and releases $485,677 escrow
Summary
East Rockhill supervisors granted stormwater and land-development waivers for a proposed water treatment facility at 1100 Branch Road, took a neutral position on the zoning application, approved preliminary/final land development for an addition at 1635 N. Fifth Street (contingent on Wynn Associates' conditions), adopted Resolution 2026-05 for a planning module at 1200 Butler Lane, and released $485,677.50 in escrow for Park Hill Estates.
The East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors approved multiple land-use actions and development-related votes at its Feb. 24 meeting, including waivers for a proposed water treatment facility and a contingency-based approval for a residential/commercial addition.
Township Engineer Steve Baluh, P.E., presented materials and oversaw a discussion about a Zoning Hearing Board application and requests for variances, special exception and an amended waiver of land development for a proposed 8,700-square-foot water treatment facility at 1100 Branch Road (Blooming Glen Road). Representatives from the Perkasie Regional Authority — including Jakob Reilly, P.E., Sean Torpey, P.E., Dave Watt and Nick Fretz — answered supervisors' questions about the project. The board approved the requested stormwater and land-development waivers, expressed a consensus that the building should be a neutral color, and took a neutral position on the Zoning Hearing Board application; the motions passed unanimously.
The board also granted waivers recommended by the Planning Commission and approved preliminary and final land development for an addition at 1635 N. Fifth Street. That approval is contingent on the applicant satisfying items listed in Wynn Associates' Feb. 13, 2026 correspondence.
For 1200 Butler Lane, the board adopted Resolution 2026-05 and authorized execution of a Sewage System Maintenance Agreement for the planning module.
In financial action tied to development, the supervisors approved Authorization Voucher 5 dated Feb. 20, 2026, releasing $485,677.50 payable to Select Properties, Inc. for plantings, sidewalks, aprons, shelters and contingency at Park Hill Estates. The board approved the engineering report and related motions by unanimous votes.
The board deferred action on a draft data center and zoning ordinance for additional review and placed it on the March agenda for continued consideration.
