The Warwick Township Planning Commission recorded unanimous recommendations on two agenda items at its May 27, 2026 meeting.
• Hurst land development plan (Raymond C. and Elva B. Hurst, Diehm & Sons): The Commission recommended a waiver of road improvements (motion by Bob Kornman, seconded by Marianne McConnell) and recommended approval of the preliminary/final land development plan contingent on verification that the proposal complies with a 1995 Conditional Use decision (motion by Jane Windlebleck, seconded by Larry Sheckler). Vote: unanimous (8‑0). Key details: approx. 29 acres; property under Lancaster County Agricultural Preserve Board easement; proposed stormwater infiltration due to shale soils; existing driveway to be extended (11 feet wide).
• Quarry Support Overlay Zone Ordinance (Rohrer’s Quarry): The Commission recommended approval (motion by Marianne McConnell, seconded by Larry Sheckler). Presenters said the overlay would cover ~16.5 acres adjacent to the finishing plant, permit support activities but not new excavation within the overlay, and could extend quarry reserves by roughly 50 years; planned Lititz Road relocation would require PennDOT review with potential construction beginning in 2027. Vote: unanimous (8‑0).
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. on a motion by Jane Windlebleck, seconded by Bob Kornman.
