5 issues in development
Waverly Heights Life Care Center Proposal at 452 S. Roberts Road
Waverly Senior Services wants to add a life care residence at 452 S. Roberts Road, needing a special exception plus several variances. Height, steep-slope disturbance, and building dimensions are the sticking points the Board will weigh.
Radwyn Apartments Development Plan, Landover Road
A development plan for the Radwyn Apartments on Landover Road is coming before the council as new business. Environmental impacts — likely stormwater, trees and shade-tree ordinance issues — will be part of the conversation.
Historic Exterior Modifications at 334 Louella Ave
A residential design-build firm is rebranding the former Luella space at 227 E. Lancaster Ave, but its proposed marquee lettering exceeds the code's sign allowance of roughly 64 square feet total. The application was continued to December 9 while the owner revises plans.
Shade Tree Commission Website Relaunch
The old Shade Tree site now redirects to the township's new site, and most fixes from a full content review are live. Once broken images and links are patched, the commission will review and then promote it.
Stormwater Management for Downtown Infill Development
Neighbors with existing overflowing storm drains questioned whether new buildings and driveways on steep slopes will worsen runoff. The engineer said basins will detain water so rates don't increase, but detailed calculations haven't been done yet.
