Neighbors press for demolition oversight and construction controls at Peck Road meeting
Summary
Neighbors asked the developer to ensure DEP-compliant demolition, install construction fencing along Lot 1, and set electrical equipment back at least 10 feet; the developer said demolition would follow permitting and that they plan to build homes (including one spec unit).
During the public-comment portion, neighbors raised specific site-management concerns. One neighbor asked that demolition of the existing residence be done under proper DEP permits to control contamination and requested that construction fencing protect adjacent lots; the applicant's representative said demolition would occur after approvals and that silt-sock or orange construction fencing would be used as appropriate.
A neighbor requested a 10-foot setback for any ground-mounted electrical equipment; the applicant's engineer acknowledged the comment and said utilities had not yet been finalized with the utility provider (PECO). The applicant (Mike Ryan) said the developer intends to build out the project and anticipates doing one spec house initially and three model types overall.
Commissioners thanked the public for input and noted that certain items (demolition permits, utility hookups, erosion controls) are controlled by outside agencies and by construction-permit conditions. The commission did not change its recommendation based on these comments but recorded them for the project file and future permit reviews.
