4 issues in development with high priority
Meijer gas station and convenience store at 791 Manor Road
Meijer is moving forward with a roughly 159,000-square-foot supercenter plus gas station at the NW corner of William Penn Highway and Manor Road. The conditional use for the fuel center was recommended to Council, but traffic signals, lighting, and site design still get vetted in land development review.
Beverly Manor personal care home proposal
A developer wants to build a five-story, 123-unit personal care home for seniors on 21.2 acres off Pennsylvania Street in an R-3 zone. Neighbors worry about the narrow road, school bus stops, emergency access, stormwater runoff, privacy and property values. The commission tabled the project until outstanding studies and comments are resolved.
Redwood development in White Valley
A Cleveland developer wants to build 168 single-story rental units on 62 acres off Wilson Road, which requires excavating slopes over 40%. Neighbors on Wheatland Circle worry about ground stability and the loss of their wooded rear views. The hearing was continued so the new geotechnical report can be reviewed.
Redwood steep-slope excavation on Wilson Road
A 62.8-acre R-3 project requires excavating slopes over 25%. Neighbors worried about losing the tree buffer along Wilson Road, filling a ravine, and construction risks over old underground mines. The applicant promised supplemental evergreen screening and says geotech drilling shows the mines are safe.
