Lower Heidelberg Planning Commission tables annexation, recommends no position on mixed-use sketch plan
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting, the Lower Heidelberg Township Planning Commission tabled the Moore–Lutz annexation and discussed a 140 Evans Hill Road sketch plan that is not moving forward; the commission voted to recommend no position on the Clay Motus mixed‑use sketch plan and approved prior meeting minutes.
The Lower Heidelberg Township Planning Commission met Oct. 14, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. and approved the September 2024 minutes. Chair Dean Hartman presided; members in attendance included Forrest Sticker, Bill Moser, Heath Kearney, and Mary Wert, among other township officials and advisors.
During the development plans portion of the agenda, the commission tabled the Moore–Lutz Annexation Plan until November so the applicant can revise and resubmit the proposal. The minutes state that the applicant will revise the plans and return at a future meeting.
The commission also discussed a sketch plan and Zoning Hearing Board application for 140 Evans Hill Road. The record notes some restrictions on the property and outstanding issues with county preservation requirements; the project was described as “not moving forward for the moment” and was effectively tabled pending resolution of those issues.
On the Clay Motus sketch plan, proposed for a C‑2 zoning district, applicants Chuck Frantz (C2C) and Greg Adelman presented a mixed‑use subdivision that would require a use variance to allow residential units and a day care. Chair Dean Hartman moved — and member Mary Wert seconded — a motion that the commission recommend no position on the sketch plan. The motion passed unanimously.
The agenda listed a public comment period, but no public comments are recorded in the minutes. There were no time extension reports, old business items, or new business items recorded. A motion to adjourn was made by Forrest Sticker, seconded by Heath Kearney, and the meeting ended by acclamation at 8:11 p.m.
The commission did not record any formal votes beyond the motions noted above and did not specify next steps or conditions attached to the recommendations beyond resubmission for the annexation plan.
