Commission accepts flood study and approves Lambert Fiser land development, asks for minimal security lighting

Aug 20, 2026

The commission accepted Gateway Engineers' H&H study showing the proposed Lambert Fiser building is outside the 100‑year floodplain and approved the land development (App 2026‑000018); commissioners advised adding wall‑pack lighting to meet illumination requirements for the parking lot and security at entrances.

The full story

Commission staff reported that the H&H analysis for the Lambert Fiser Pap Road land development confirms the proposed building footprint is outside the mapped 1% (100‑year) floodplain and that Gateway Engineers issued a letter of satisfaction. Commissioners sought clarification on illumination: the township ordinance requires parking‑lot illumination and commissioners recommended wall‑pack lighting by building entrances to meet the one‑foot‑candle standard and address resident concerns about excessive lighting.
