Board supports variance for pool at 2A Colonial Drive; impervious coverage raised to 18.5%
Summary
The Board unanimously supported a Zoning Hearing Board application to increase impervious coverage from 14.9% to 18.5% to allow a residential pool at 2A Colonial Drive; applicants cited physical-therapy needs and community uses, and the Planning and Historical commissions offered favorable recommendations and screening notes.
The Pennsbury Township Board of Supervisors voted to support a Zoning Hearing Board application allowing a residential swimming pool at 2A Colonial Drive, increasing impervious coverage on the property from 14.9% (just under the 15% maximum) to 18.5%. Darrell Sabocsik, the applicant’s permit coordinator and representative from the pool company, presented the request and described hardships including the need for physical therapy and planned use by school students and a youth group.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval, noting the application’s clarity, consideration of alternatives, and community support; Historical Commission Chair Judi Wilson said existing vegetation and tree coverage would provide adequate visual screening. Supervisor Kay Ellsworth moved to support the variance and Supervisor Aaron McIntyre seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Applicant Jinna Bulava later expressed appreciation for the ZHB process and for the Planning Commission’s professionalism.
