Rapho supervisors grant conditional approval to three development and stormwater plans

Rapho Township Board of Supervisors · July 16, 2026

Summary

The Board conditionally approved Garman Coal and Mulch final plan (11,910 SF shop/office on 79.4 acres), Clayton Good stormwater plan for a 22.6-acre property, and Tyler and Tessa Snavely's stormwater plan tied to a Conditional Use for an agricultural support occupation; all approvals were subject to addressing Rettew engineering comments.

Rapho Township supervisors on July 16 granted conditional approvals for three separate planning applications subject to the applicants addressing comments in consultant Rettew's letters.

Hartech Engineering's Mark Jones reviewed the Garman Coal and Mulch final plan to construct an 11,910-square-foot shop and office on a 79.442-acre farm and requested multiple ordinance and stormwater modifications. Jones told the board that "everything on the Rettew letters has been addressed." The board granted conditional approval for RT# 24-462 subject to addressing the Rettew letter dated July 10, 2026 (motion by Mark Erb; second by Randy Fox).

Diehm & Sons' Kevin Varner reviewed the Clayton Good stormwater management plan for a 22.6-acre tract at 1945 Shumaker Road; the plan proposes a subsurface stone detention basin and a riparian buffer to address water quality and rate control. The board granted conditional approval for RT# 26-497 subject to Rettew comments (motion by Randy Fox; second by Mark Erb).

Harbor Engineering's Steve Gergley reviewed stormwater plans for Tyler and Tessa Snavely (property south of 1421 Brenneman Road). The owners propose a new single-family dwelling and barn tied to an approved Conditional Use for an agricultural support occupation (Snavely's Excavating); the plan includes a subsurface infiltration bed and requires NPDES permit coverage. The board granted conditional approval for RT# 26-499 subject to addressing the Rettew letter dated July 2, 2026 (motion by Randy Fox; second by Mark Erb).
