Minutes
Mr. Honig
motioned, Mr. Taylor seconded, and the Planning Commission approved the Minutes
of the March 28, 2001, meeting.
WaWa (Dilworthtown Road)
– Skip Brion, Esquire, representing WaWa, advised they have resolved the water and sewer issues
for this site. They will be connecting
to public water (Chester Water Authority) and an underground tank system with
an alternate disposal area has been designed; however, will require DEP
approval. WaWa
will be submitting an application to our Zoning Hearing Board requesting
variances for signage, rear yard setback, front yard setback for the canopy,
and some landscaping matters. At our
Solicitor’s recommendation, they will also be making application for
Conditional Use.
Applied Card Systems – Representing this Applicant,
attorney Steve Marshall, commented on the outstanding items in Kelly Engineers’
April 24, 2001, review
letter. PennDOT
has advised that they will want to study the distance between the traffic
signal at the future loop road at Hillman Drive and the proposed Applied Card
Systems signal approximately 650 feet south on Route 202. The major outstanding item was completion of
the traffic study. Both the traffic
study and the wetlands issue will be resolved this month. The Applicant will be present at the next
Planning Commission following resolution of these two items.
Bancroft Homes – Jim Aiken, Regester
Associates, represented this Applicant in discussion of outstanding items in
Kelly Associates’ April 24, 2001,
review letter. Some proposed landscaping
changes are a matter for approval by the Board of Supervisors. As stated previously, this Applicant has
agreed to Deed Restrict these lots. Mr.
Reiter motioned, Mr. Honig seconded, and the Planning
Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve this plan subject
to obtaining Conservation District and NPDS approval, as well as our
Solicitor’s approval of numerous legal documents being prepared by the
Applicant’s attorney. The name of this
development may be changed to “Chadds Ford Woods”.

Hoffman’s Mill Road
– Keith Lieberman, Kelly Engineers, has prepared a plan for the Brandywine
Conservancy in an attempt to change the direction of this road in order to
eliminate traffic from using it as a through road. Although the Planning Commission was in
agreement with this concept, Mr. Taylor reminded Mr. Lieberman that, in the event
of an emergency on Route 1, this road is used to re-route traffic; therefore,
it must accommodate large vehicles; i.e., tractor trailers, buses, and fire
trucks. This plan will be revised and
re-submitted.
The meeting
was adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
