Council approves land-development plan for Chester Pike corner after resident raises trash concerns
Summary
Sharon Hill Council approved preliminary and final land development for a Chester Pike property after a presentation from the owner and a resident’s warning that existing trash problems near dumpsters could worsen; the solicitor offered to notify named businesses and borough staff emphasized hauler registration requirements.
Sharon Hill Borough Council voted to approve preliminary and final land development for a property at the northeast corner of Chester Pike and Clifton Avenue after hearing a presentation from representatives of 417 Callowhill Inc. and 701 South Ocean Blvd Inc. The developers said they will consolidate two lots to build a one‑story retail building and estimated the project would take about "6–8 months" from start to finish.
During public comment a resident from Burnside Ave. said "there are already issues with several vendors and people dumping trash in the area where the dumpsters are kept, and she is concerned that things will get worse." Borough Code/Building Official Anthony Tartaglia told council inspectors went to investigate but arrived after the area had already been cleaned so there was no enforcement action at that moment. Borough Solicitor Colleen Marsini said she would be "willing to coordinate and send a letter directly to the individual stores" if identifying information (such as a name on a dumpster) is provided, and Borough Manager Ieasa A. Nichols said borough staff had requested trash haulers register with the borough and asked businesses to ensure they are registered.
The approval was recorded as Resolution 2025-02 and was carried as a motion during New Business. Council recorded the motion (moved by Vice President Edward Booker, seconded by Councilor Rodney Hill) and the minutes list the motion as passed. The minutes do not record a roll-call tally in the text beyond the motion language.
