September 2022 AARC development update

The Board of Supervisors accepted the Developer's extension of the time the Township has to review and take action on the Strawberry Acres AARC Land Development proposal at the August 1, 2022 meeting. The Site Developer had until the end of August 2022 to submit the new plans. And, they did so.

The Township posted the Site Development Plans for Strawberry Acres late the afternoon of 9/7/2022. You can look at the plans on line at the North Whitehall Township website (go to the Planning page, select agenda option, above the table select the plans link, select the September 2022 folder, Select the Strawberry Acres sub-folder).  Alternatively, if you want Tom could copy them to a disk or memory stick for you.

Note the upcoming meetings:

• The Planning Commission will reviews the plans at their meeting September 27, 2022 at 7:30.
• Board of Supervisor Action.  Assuming the Planning Commission makes a recommendation at it's September 27th meeting then the Board of Supervisors will review at this will be either the  October 3rd or November 7th 2022 meeting.

Tonight! (Monday, 7/11/2022), the Strawberry Acres Development is on the agenda for the Board of Supervisor's meeting to request another extension to submit error-free plans. Tonight, the supervisors must decided whether or not go allow the extension.

Please Come to the June Planning Commission Mtg!

Strawberry Acres has made it to this month's - June 2022 - planning commission meeting, as there is a new submission from the developer.

We have not had a lot of time to review the submissions, but Tom has looked at them and will present the shortcomings he found (and there are many).  I hope to be able to speak on the traffic issues.  

Please try to make the meeting.  It is this Tuesday, June 28, at 7:30pm at the North Whitehall Township Building.

Please come to the April 4, 2022 Township Mtg!

 

At the March 7, 2022 North Whitehall Township Board of Supervisors’ meeting, the developer for the former Strawberry Acres property asked for another extension on presenting plans for the project; however, no one was present to represent them or state a reason on why another extension was needed.  

 

The supervisors were ready to approve the requested 3 month extension for the Land Development Plan until Tom  requested that they consider the whole 8 year history of this project.  The Supervisors then entered a discussion on the project, the requested extension, and why another extension was needed. After this discussion , they broke their standard approval of this type of request and decided to give the developer a 30 day extension only, and want the developer to come before the Supervisors in the April 2022 meeting to discuss the project, what they need the extension for, and when they really will be in a position to present updated land development proposal.    

 

Please attend the April 4, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting (mtg at 7:30pm at the North Whitehall Township building).  We will need a large group to show support for not approving additional extensions.

 

Thank you!
