Supervisor Hearing S-13-05, which was continued from December 14, 2005, was called to order by Chairman Edward G. Meakim at 4:28 p.m.  All members were present.

Mr. Joseph E. Brion, Esquire, was present to represent the Township. Mr. Louis J. Colagreco, Jr., Esquire, was present to represent the applicant. The applicant, Pulte Homes of PA, Limited Partnership, is seeking conditional use approval to subdivide and develop a 276.65 acre tract of real property that it equitably owns which is located at the northwest corner of the Route 322 Bypass and Phoenixville Pike using the Flexible Design Options as proposed in a pending petition to amend the West Goshen Township Revised Zoning ordinance of 1990. The Board of Supervisors has conducted two hearings (Supervisors Hearing S-09-05) on the proposed zoning amendment which would allow a Flexible Design Option in the R-3 Zoning District subject to express criteria in the proposed zoning amendment and subject to the Board of Supervisors' conditional use approval. The Board has agreed to consolidate the remaining hearings for the proposed zoning amendment with the conditional use hearings. The property is owned by Jerrehian – a PA General partnership and is located in the R-3 Residential Zoning District. The property is currently improved with a country house estate with residence mansion which is commonly referred to as "Greystone Mansion" as well as three single family detached dwellings and various outbuildings.
