Prior to the consideration of the Preliminary Subdivision/Land Development Plan for Westrum Land Development, LLC, Dr. White noted that the original plan included tennis courts and Ms. Susan
Menno from Westrum said that the tennis courts were eliminated to minimize the impact to the wet lands.
Dr. White asked Ms. Menno if an agreement had been reached with United Parcel Service regarding the sound barriers and Ms. Menno said that none had been reached but that having the Preliminary Plan approval would make it easier to move forward in their talks with UPS. Mrs. Baker asked if the Township would review the homeowners agreement and Dr. White said that one of the conditional uses approved by the Board of Supervisors for this plan stated that the Township Solicitor will review the agreement. Mrs. Baker asked if this agreement will be passed on to subsequent owners and Mr. Meakim said that it would be passed on as part of the settlement of the purchase of a unit.
On motion by Mr. Meakim, seconded by Dr. White, the Board voted 2 – 1, with Ms. McIlvaine dissenting, to approve a Preliminary Subdivision/Land Development Plan for a 220 unit active adult age
qualified retirement community for Westrum Land Development, LLC, located at Ward Avenue and North Five Points Road. Ms. Susan Menno from Westrum Land Development, LLC, and Mr. John Jaros, Esquire,
were present to represent the plan.
Prior to the consideration of the signing of a lease agreement with DiRocco Properties, L.P., for space located at 838 Lincoln Avenue, Ms. Lynn said that the rent will be $5,250 per month for
12,000 square feet of space. She said that the space will be used by the Public Works Department for off season storage. Dr. White said that with the possible acquisition of new park property
the space will be needed. Mrs. Baker asked if the trees on the site of the new Robert E. Lambert Park on Pottstown Pike will be cut down and Dr. White replied that there are no trees on the property.
On motion by Ms. McIlvaine, seconded by Mr. Meakim, the Board unanimously approved the signing of a lease agreement with DiRocco Properties, L.P., for space located at 838 Lincoln Avenue.
On motion by Ms. McIlvaine, seconded by Mr. Meakim, the Board unanimously approved the signing of the Decision and Order for Spring Court Associates, L.P.
