Palmyra council authorizes solicitor to oppose two arcade applications, supports warehouse at 1221 East Main

The Palmyra Borough Council voted to authorize the borough solicitor to appear at the July 13, 2026 zoning hearing board to oppose applications seeking special exceptions to allow indoor amusement/arcade operations at 52 West Main Street (owner Paola Cali; applicant Carrie Dieter) and at 33 East Main Street (owner Andy Sadizen; applicant Dan Larina/Prime Play LLC).

Council members discussed the applications as part of the zoning and codes enforcement agenda and approved a motion to have the solicitor represent the borough in opposition. The minutes and transcript record the motion as seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record does not document a roll-call tally by name.

Separately, the council considered a special-exception application for 1221 East Main Street (1221 East Main Street LLC and RDI LLC) to subdivide and allow construction of a warehouse on lot two behind Philadelphia Mixers. After discussion the council made and seconded a motion to support that application; the motion passed on a voice vote.

The solicitor indicated readiness to attend zoning hearing board meetings and to send representation if the solicitor could not attend in person. The transcript records ordinance references and zoning sections cited in staff remarks but does not record detailed written findings or conditions attached to the authorization or the council's support vote.

The council's actions will be reflected at the July 13 zoning hearing board where the solicitor will appear on behalf of the borough in opposition to the two arcade-related applications; the warehouse application will proceed with borough support at the hearing.
