Commission tables Fusting Center Phase II; seeks detailed site, parking and sewer approvals
Summary
The Planning Commission tabled preliminary approval of the Fusting Center Phase II lot consolidation and four-floor mixed‑use site plan, citing missing items including a PennDOT highway‑occupancy permit, FTMSA/DEP tap approvals, parking calculations for 40 condos, stormwater and cross‑easement documentation.
Representatives for Bushy Run Investments LP and architect Ray Gusty presented a lot consolidation and multi‑phase site plan for the Fusting Center Phase II during the Nov. 6 Salem Township Planning Commission meeting. The proposal envisions a four‑story building with restaurants and retail on the first floor, offices and condominiums on upper floors and a total of about 40 condominium units across one-, two‑ and three‑bedroom layouts.
Commissioners enumerated numerous required revisions before preliminary approval can proceed: add a location map and a clear purpose statement; identify the State Route 22 right‑of‑way edge and the existing entrance; include a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit statement on the plan; remove mortgage‑certification language; add Revision Number and Date; provide parking and traffic circulation plans that account for both Phase I and Phase II (the supervisors previously granted a waiver reducing spaces for Phase I from 60+ to 56); submit erosion and sedimentation/NPDES and stormwater management approvals; obtain FTMSA/DEP approval for sanitary sewer connections and taps; and show proof of cross easements with neighboring properties for access to the SR 22 signal. The Commission tabled the plan to allow the applicant to address these items.
Ray Gusty reviewed the general layout: "The 1st floor will consist of a fast food restaurant and a sit down restaurant with retail space. The 2nd floor will consist of condos and offices. Floor 3 and 4 will consist of additional condos. There will be a total of four floors with a total of 40, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condominiums." Paul Holleran moved and Connie Mattei seconded a motion to table the plan pending revisions; both voted yes.
