and presented awards by Dr. White to commemorate their contributions to West Goshen Township. Paul Spiegel had served on the Commission for 15 years and Dean Diehl had served for 24 years.
Final Plan Review:
QVC
Location: 1200 Wilson Drive
Represented by: Angelo Capuzzi, P.E., Chester Valley Engineers; Nissa
Eisenberg and Mitchell Shiles - Hooper Shiles Architects.
This land development plan proposes 62,930 square feet of new offices and warehouse building additions located at 1200 Wilson Drive. The new
building construction will be additions to the existing studio/office/warehouse building. The development will be in 4 phases incorporating improvements to entrance /exits, parking lot, sidewalk,
and stormwater management. Mike McKie asked if employees will be able to take a left from American Drive onto Airport Road and Rick Craig assured the board that the intersection meets the proper
sight distances. Dr. White asked if a gate would be constructed and Mr. Capuzzi assured there would a similar gate as exists on Wilson Drive. Dr. White then mentioned that the Township is still
working with Rep. Sestak and Penn DOT on a study to add another entrance from QVC to N. Rt. 202, but that plan will take considerable time and money. He believes this plan will help in the short
term to alleviate traffic concerns with an additional exit. A motion was made by Robert Holland and seconded by Mike McKie that a recommendation be made to the Board of Supervisors to approve the
plan as submitted. Motion carried unanimously 5:0.
Conditional Use Application Review:
Applicant: ITT Corporation
Location: 596 Snyder Avenue
The application is for a co-location and meets all requirements for foundation and sizing. The antenna is required as a communications
facility for FAA improvements along the Philadelphia / Harrisburg / Baltimore flight corridor. There will be 3 antenna arrays on the tower which has plenty of capacity for this usage. Jeff
Laudenslager made a motion and seconded by Robert Holland that this plan be recommended for approval as submitted. Motion was carried unanimously 5:0.
Committee Reports:
There were no reports presented.
There being no further business, on motion by Robert Holland and seconded by Dr. White the meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael McKie
