Royale Garden plan proposes two underground stormwater systems and an easement for a Trout Creek pedestrian bridge
Summary
Project engineers for Royale Garden LP said two underground stormwater systems would be installed to meet local and state rules, and the developer offered an easement to allow the Township to construct a pedestrian bridge over Trout Creek to continue the KOP Linear Park multi-modal path.
Engineers for Royale Garden LP told the Board that the 18-acre site currently lacks stormwater basins and that their plan proposes two underground systems to improve rate and flow while meeting local and state requirements.
Matt Kearse said the design will keep existing drainage patterns but mitigate peak rates and improve conveyance via underground basins; final basin sizes will be determined during formal land-development engineering. The applicant also described continuity plans for the King of Prussia (KOP) BID Linear Park: a 25-foot corridor along First Avenue and Moore Road that would include a 6–8-foot multi-modal path with meanders, seating pockets and bike storage. To resolve pedestrian continuity across Trout Creek, the applicant offered the Township an easement to enable a pedestrian bridge; the Board did not act on that easement at the workshop.
Board members and staff asked about delivery and trash truck turning radii, stormwater basin sizing and trail access at the north end near Trout Creek; engineers noted those details will be refined during land-development review. The proposal’s stormwater and trail choices will be central to technical review in subsequent submissions.
