Board backs variance support for 821 Folly Hill Road with conditions

Pocopson Township Board of Supervisors · April 27, 2026

Summary

The Board of Supervisors voted 2-0 to support a Zoning Hearing Board variance for 821 Folly Hill Road after the applicant's attorney said proposed impervious coverage would rise to 12.98%; support was conditioned on confirmation of coverage, stormwater sufficiency, and compliance with Castle Valley review letters.

The Pocopson Township Board of Supervisors voted 2-0 April 27 to support a Zoning Hearing Board application for 821 Folly Hill Road (Socolofsky), subject to several technical conditions. Jonathan Long, Esq., the applicant's attorney, told the board that switching from the originally proposed pervious parking area to impervious paving would increase overall impervious coverage on the lot to 12.98 percent, above the township maximum of 10 percent.

Vice Chairperson Sandra Retzlaff moved that support be conditioned on the Zoning Officer confirming the impervious coverage calculation, confirming the adequacy of the proposed stormwater management facilities to handle the additional impervious area, and compliance with the Castle Valley review dated March 30, 2026 and any subsequent review letters; Supervisor Barney Leonard seconded the motion, which passed 2-0. The Planning Commission had reported it would not oppose the application as presented at its April 1 meeting. No final zoning decision was recorded at this meeting; the Board's action was a statement of municipal support to the Zoning Hearing Board.
