Summary

The Planning Commission forwarded the CarStar automotive facility final plan and several waiver requests to the Board of Supervisors, noting that a Phase I historical study returned negative findings and that paint booths will have filtration systems. Chairman Ray Brown recused himself from the matter.

Attorneys and consultants for Fred Beans and CarStar presented a revised plan for an automotive repair and service center. The Conditional Use previously approved in March included four conditions: no loading and unloading of trucks along Carlisle Pike, additional northern landscaping buffer, Carlisle Pike screening, and completion of a Phase I historical study. The Phase I report returned negative for historical resources.

Township and county staff raised a remaining issue about installing sidewalks now versus deferral; applicants are in the second round of PennDOT review for access. During discussion, the meeting recorded that “Mr. Brown has recused himself due to a conflict of interest.” The commission recommended multiple waivers and forwarded the plan to the Board subject to staff and engineering comments.
