Commission approves setback waiver for Greendown Acres, tables full expansion plan
Summary
Blair Township Planning Commission recommended a waiver reducing setbacks from 30 to 15 feet for the proposed Greendown Acres expansion but voted to table the full site-expansion plan to allow further review after a late submission; engineer Eric Banks said he had not fully reviewed the plan.
The Blair Township Planning Commission on Oct. 7 recommended approval of a requested setback waiver for the proposed Greendown Acres site expansion but then voted to table the overall site-expansion plan pending further review.
Eric Banks, the township engineer representing Stiffler McGraw, told commissioners he had not fully reviewed the Clearwell Engineering plan because it was submitted late. The proposal for 210 Allen Lane would add 33 units, extend Kitty Lane to a cul-de-sac, and extend water and sewer lines with potential pump facilities. The developer requested a waiver to Ordinance Section 350-51.C.4 to reduce setbacks from 30 feet to 15 feet in order to allow a 35-foot buffer yard.
"The proposed plan will add thirty-three units," Banks said, and he noted required permits would include a floodplain permit from the township and an NPDES permit from the Conservation District. After discussion, Commissioner Theresa Gillie moved to recommend approval of the setback waiver; Commissioner Chris Kreidler seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners then voted to recommend tabling the Greendown Acres Site Expansion plan to allow more time for staff review; Theresa Gillie moved to table and Chris Kreidler seconded, with a unanimous vote.
The commission took no final action on the site-expansion application itself; the waiver recommendation and the decision to table will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors and to staff for further review. The transcript does not specify developer contact details, construction timing, or final permit status.
