Summary

The commission rejected a waiver request to Section 210-23.B(2) for Getz Self Storage (parcel 36-51-A8.33-P-24-3) concerning downstream landowner consent for stormwater discharge and forwarded it to the supervisors; the commission also granted conditional approval consistent with BIA review (Jan. 10, 2025).

At the Jan. 7 meeting the Planning Commission voted to deny a waiver request from Section 210-23.B(2) for the Getz Self Storage land-development application (parcel 36-51-A8.33-P-24-3), which would have excused written consent from a downstream landowner when stormwater cannot be discharged into an existing downstream channel. The commission directed the matter to the Board of Supervisors for final consideration and then approved the application conditionally based on BIA review dated Jan. 10, 2025.

The minutes record William Miller making the motion for conditional approval and Chris Rau seconding; the record states "motion carried." No individual roll-call votes or tallies were recorded in the transcript. The denial of the waiver and forwarding to supervisors reflects the commission's judgment that the township requirement for downstream consent remains applicable in this case. Staff and the commission did not adopt the waiver request at the meeting and will await supervisor action.
