The North Whitehall Planning Commission will address
the most recent version of the Proposed Strawberry Acres AARC
development at a meeting viz zoom on THURSDAY DECEMBER 17 AT 7:30.
This is a special meeting on a special day just to address the AARC
issue. Please sign up and participate in the meeting! Directions on
how to sign up for the meeting are below.
It
has been a long 7 years that we have been fighting this issue. After
extensively reviewing the proposed plans, we find that they comply (with
the exception a few small details) with the zoning ordinances of the
Township. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors will probably have to
approve the development, as required by law, as
soon as these details are made to comply with the various ordinances.
We need your continued support and involvement to help drive this to
conclusion.
Although we were not able to stop the development, we should be very proud of our accomplishments. Remember, the early plans
called for 3- and 4- story buildings, high density, a smaller plot of
ground, and on site sewage disposal. The development is now 90 2-story
units, plus a required 2 story community center on a larger plot of
ground, lower density, more landscape barriers for sight line blockage,
and a full sewage plant operated by an independent authority. These
are significant changes that only occurred because of the efforts of the
landowners in the area expressing our continued interest to the North
Whitehall Township authorities. Thank you. We would also like to thank the Board of
Supervisors and Chris Garges for their help throughout this process.
