5. Final Land Development Plan for a 3800 sq. ft. Community Center located at Golf Club Apartments for Home Properties. Bernard H. Mc Cabe, Jr. of Home Properties; Robert Marshall, Attorney at Law with Kaplin-Stewart, Meloff, Reiter & Stein; and Robert D. Irons, P.E. with Bohler Engineering, Inc. were in attendance for the Plan. Richard Craig presented the plan which showed that storm water issues had been improved with a swale and ripp-rap at the end wall.  All ordinance requirements were met.  There are two entrances, one from West Chester Pike and the other from Five Points Road.  The entrance from West Chester Pike is shown as being widened and gated. It will be manned or carded. The car stacking question posed by Bob Little had been addressed by locating the gate further into the entrance and only located at the West Chester entrance. The applicants explained that most cars enter from West Chester Pike. When asked why they had chosen to put up a gate, the answer was to look "up scale" and to prevent people from dumping trash on the property.  Also they preferred to use the space for parking at the Five Points entrance instead of placing a gate there. The applicants wished to tell about the new Landscaping which includes a "sand trap" and a "green" to carry out the Golf theme of the Complex.

  MOTION:  To recommend approval Final Land Development Plan at Golf Club Apartments.
  ACTION:  Diehl/O'Brien (7-0).
