Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – March 3, 2004

Mr. Rawlings asked if there were additions or corrections to the above minutes. There were none. Mrs. Moser then made a motion to approve the above Minutes as submitted. Mr. Thomas seconded the motion, with all voting Aye.

Township Municipal Complex

The applicant is East Brandywine Township . The property is located on the south side of Horseshoe Pike between North Guthriesville Road and Bondsville Road and is within the VC Commercial Zoning District. Access to the site is from two driveway entrances on Horseshoe Pike.

The existing property consists of three separate parcels. Parcel # 30-5-8 has an area of 6.721 acres gross and 6.584 acres net. Parcel 30-5-10 has an area of 2.291 acres gross and 1.969 acres net. Parcel 30-5-11 has an area of 1.947 acres gross and 1.675 net acres. The site currently contains two driveway entrances, paved and gravel parking areas, a complex of municipal office and equipment storage buildings, lawn areas, freestanding trees and tree rows, and various mulch and debris piles. An additional stone drive provides access off of Horseshoe Pike to a 2-½ story stucco dwelling on the western portion of the parcels.

The plan proposes to combine an adjacent 1.2+ acre property with the current Township property, creating a total tract area of approximately 11.4 acres. This property has access from Horseshoe Pike via a paved driveway leading to a 1 story framed building with porch and rear deck, 1 story frame garage with concrete pad and a shed. The combined properties will then be subdivided into two new lots. Lot 1 will be 1.0 acres net and will contain the existing dwelling and features to the west. The remaining property will be 10.487 acres and will contain the existing Township buildings and the former Hash property.

The existing improvements to the former Hash property and all the buildings on the main parcel except the Township Office building and the 1-story attached garage and McCausland Hall will be demolished. It is then proposed to construct a new two-floor municipal building, a separate six bay garage, and salt shed. All proposed buildings would have access from a new 2-way entrance on Horseshoe Pike opposite North Guthriesville Road , creating a new intersection. The driveway will lead to a proposed paved 135-space parking lot. Stormwater management will consist of a stormwater

forebay/detention basin and small sub-basin to control runoff. The new facilities are to be served by public water and sewer. A sanitary sewer main extension is to be installed from an existing stub on Horseshoe Pike.

Mr. Gregg Bogia from Stackhouse, Seitz & Bensinger, Inc. discussed the Yerkes Associates review letter of April 2, 2004 . The applicant has obtained the necessary permits and approvals for this application. Mr. Giannantonio stated that all Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance requirements have been satisfactorily met. Design details and specifications regarding the retaining walls can be submitted at the time of the building permit application. Mr. Cushman made a motion to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant final plan approval for this land development application. Mrs. Moser seconded the motion, with all voting Aye.

Sunoco Convenience Store

The owner/applicant is Sunoco, Inc. The site currently contains three business structures that house two vacant businesses and a Sunoco Convenience Store/Gas Station. The property is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Horseshoe Pike (Rt. 322) and Hopewell Road. The applicant has purchased an additional tract of adjacent property (Parcel “A”), along the western boundary line, which is 0.138 acres. The total property area is 1.553 acres. The site is located in the Village Commercial Zoning District. The applicant proposes to raze the existing site and redevelop it into a single convenience store/gas station business. The proposed convenience store will be 3,200 square feet. The site currently has on-site sewer and water and proposes to be served by public water and sewer.

Mr. Clayton McCane, Construction Engineer and Mr. Robert McHale from CEI Engineering discussed the final land development plan. Mr. McHale stated the applicant has satisfied all the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance. In his April 2, 2004 review letter, Mr. Giannantonio concurred with the Traffic Consultant’s request that the applicant insures delivery trucks make deliveries only during off-peak hours. Mr. Giannantonio recommended that the applicant submit a letter agreeing to that arrangement and defining specifically what “off-peak” hours are when deliveries can be made. Mr. McCane provided a memorandum agreeing to limit deliveries of merchandise and gasoline to specific off-peak hours.

The Planning Commission asked that peak hours be defined as the following:

6:00 A.M. to 8:30 A.M.

11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

In addition, no deliveries are allowed between 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. per the Township Zoning Ordinance Sections 339-102 D and 399.84 A (1) through (3).

The Planning Commission remains concerned about the diesel fuel dispensing. Although Sunoco will be installing a low volume pump to discourage larger vehicles from fueling at the site, a truck may either block a portion of the parking lot, or even a portion of the access drive, causing an unsafe condition. The applicant was asked to submit a written agreement to the Township and Township Solicitor John Halsted on how they will resolve this type of problem. Mr. McCane and Mr. McHale agreed to provide this information prior to the April 21, 2004 Board of Supervisors Meeting.

After review of the plan, Mr. Cushman made a motion to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant final plan approval with the proviso that deliveries be limited to off-peak hours as defined in these minutes, and an agreement that is acceptable to the Township is implemented to quickly resolve parking problems at the site. Mr. Corbin seconded the motion, with all voting Aye.

Zoning Map Change

Mrs. Smedley explained that a portion of tax parcel number 3-05-82 is proposed to be changed from the MU Zoning District to the R-2 Zoning District. After review of the plan Mr. Cushman made a motion to recommend the Board of Supervisors approve this rezoning of the property as long as the applicant for the HeatherWynd Development (a.k.a. McCausland Tract) agrees to pay their fair share of road improvements along Corner Ketch Road. Mr. Corbin seconded the motion, with all voting Aye.

Echo Dell Builders

The owners and applicants of the subdivision are Echo Dell Builders, Inc. and James A. and Jeanette B. Crouthamel. The project site is located on the east side of Echo Dell Road between Pancoast Lane and Hopewell Road and is in the R-1 Residential District. The site currently consists of three existing properties, Parcels 30-02-86.29, 30-02-101.0 and 30-02-101.1. Echo Dell Builders, Inc. currently own parcels 86.29 and 101.1 and Mr. and Mrs. Crouthamel own Parcel 101. The total combined property area is 11.798 acres. The Crouthamel property contains an existing 2-story dwelling, driveway, well, and on-site septic system. The paved driveway has access from Echo Dell Road, which has a 50-foot access and utility easement over the adjacent White property. Echo Dell Builders, Inc. properties contains an existing 2 story dwelling, driveway, well, on-site septic system, pond area. The driveway has a 50-foot access easement over the Crouthamel property and connect with the drive to their lot.

The plan proposes to combine the three parcels and re-subdivide the property into 4 lots. Lot #1 will be 2.485 acres and will retain the existing Crouthamel dwelling, utilities and maintain its existing acreage with no new construction proposed. A portion of the connecting stone driveway is to be removed. A new driveway is proposed for access to the remaining Lots #2, 3 and 4. Lots #2 and #3 will be 2.473 acres and 3.969 acres respectively, and contain a new dwelling, well, on-site septic system and underground seepage bed on each. Lot #2 will contain the existing septic area and a replacement septic area easement for Lot #1. Lot #3 will contain the existing pond as a drainage easement. Lot #4 will be 2.871 acres in size and will retain the existing Echo Dell dwelling and utilities with no new construction proposed.

Mr. Joseph Mastronardo, Engineer for the applicant, discussed the Yerkes review letter of April 1, 2004.

Zoning Ordinance

1. Section 399-15.B (1) – The pond on the property is a designated wetlands area and will be identified on the next plan submission.

3. Section 399-22.A (2) & 399-9 – Each lot shall have a width of not less than 200 feet measured at the building setback line. The building setback line is the line which establishes the depth of the front yard sufficient to provide for the minimum lot width. The engineer stated the front yard building setback lines for Lots #1 and #4 should be shown at the point where the lot widths measure 200 feet parallel to the street line. The existing dwelling for Lot #4 will be within the front yard once the minimum lot width is established. The engineer asked that Lot #4 be reconfigured to place the existing dwelling so that it does not encroach on the front yard setback. The applicant will reconfigure Lot #4 to meet the ordinance requirements.

8. Section 350-24.B. (2) (I)

a. The existing right-of-way and cartway widths for Echo Dell Road will be provided on the plan.

b. Existing on-site septic systems will be clearly identified on the plan. The septic system must be deducted from the net lot area.

Driveways

Lots #2, #3 and #4 will be served by a common driveway off of Echo Dell Road. Mr. Giannantonio will review the question of which lot will have ownership of the easement, and which lots will have access to the easement. The applicant will comply with all pertinent portions of Sections 350-40 of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, most particularly Section 350-40 G.

14. Section 350-40

a. Section 350 – The common driveway will be paved. The driveway width for the first 20 feet of driveway will be shown to be 18 feet wide. A driveway paving section will be provided.

Sanitary Sewage Disposal Systems

17. Section 350-47.B (1) – The existing on-site septic system for Lot #1 is on Lot #2. The engineer asked why the replacement system is situated on Lot #2. The applicant stated there are no suitable perc areas on Lot #1.

Mr. Giannantonio stated that the applicant should perc infiltration beds. These beds are shown as 4 feet deep. The applicant will need to establish the water table and must meet all infiltration requirements.

Kessler Sketch Plan

The property owner and applicant is Jane Rudolph Kessler. The property is located on the north side of Hopewell Road east of its intersection with North Buck Road and is within the R-1 Residential Zoning District. Access to the site is from Hopewell Road. The area of the property is 6.289 acres gross and 6.092 acres net. The property contains three existing one-story frame dwellings, a common gravel driveway, individual wells, individual on-site septic systems, lawn and woodlands.

The plan proposes to subdivide the existing property into 3 new lots. Lot #1 is 2.0 acres net, Lot #2 is 2.0 acres net and Lot #3 is 2.092 acres net. Each lot will contain one of the existing dwellings with its own well and on-lot septic system. Because of the location of the existing dwellings, variances have been requested. No new construction is proposed.

1. A variance from Section 399-22.A. (2) will be requested, requiring lot widths to be 200 feet at the building line, to allow the lot widths of Lot #1 and Lot #3 to be less than 200 feet. In the Yerkes March 30, 2004 review letter the engineer stated that due to the proximity of the existing dwellings, there is no other alternative layout that could comply with the zoning lot width requirement. Mr. Giannantonio has no objection to this variance request, but did ask that the applicant determine the dimensional variance required for each of the lots.

5. The dwelling on Lot #1 is an existing non-conforming structure with respect to the front yard and the dwelling on Lot #3 is an existing non-conforming structure with respect to the side yard.

11. The plan notes an existing easement across the Janczak property. The description should be shown on the plan. Course and distance should describe the easements on Lots #2 and #3 on the next submission. If the driveway easement goes through the Janczak property, a signature line should be added to the plan for the other owners to sign the subdivision. Mrs. Kessler stated that the engineer may be able to move the driveway entrance to the west. This will require a HOP permit from PennDOT.

13. A non-building waiver declaration will be prepared and submitted.

The wells and septic system will need to be located on the plan. The well for Lot #1 may be located in the driveway and would need to be moved. Mrs. Kessler will contact the Chester County Health Department regarding this and to have the well water tested to make sure there is no contamination from the septic systems.

AWI/Croppers Shurfine Market – Brandywine Village Shopping Center

AWI/Croppers Shurfine Market proposed to build an 8.272 s.f. addition to the northern side of the existing Croppers Store. The plan proposes to eliminate the existing 25 parking spaces along that side of the store without replacement. The spaces that will be eliminated are currently used for AWI employee parking. AWI proposes to relocate employee parking to an existing designated parking area in the south corner of the shopping center adjacent to Route 322. The applicant has previously prepared employee-parking procedures to demonstrate how the employees will be required to use those spaces. The plan also proposes to replace existing landscaping and provide additional lighting. A stone recharge bed is proposed to control runoff from the increased impervious area. Ms. Deborah Shulsky from Riley, Riper, Hollin and Colagreco and Mr. Adam Brower from E.B. Walsh & Associates, Inc. discussed the April 1, 2004 Yerkes review letter.

5. Section 399-106.A. (3) & (5) - The engineer stated that the plan shows a 5 foot wide depression in the existing portion of the sidewalk. This will be shown on subsequent plans as an ADA standard ramp.

6. Section 399-108: A parking schedule will be shown on the Title Plan to summarize the center parking plan. A copy of the employee-parking plan provided to the Zoning Hearing Board will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and Township Engineer.

19. Section 350-52.A – The stone recharge bed is designed to allow discharge into the existing storm line. Routing calculations through the seepage bed will be provided to demonstrate how it will function up to and including the 100-year storm event. The applicant will also demonstrate how the existing culvert at inlet #3 is restricted so that the upstream flow is directed to the recharge bed. Mr. Brower will discuss this issue with the Township Engineer.

Zoning Hearing Board Decision of December 4, 2004

Because the existing parking, even when reduced by the construction of the proposed addition is adequate for existing uses, the applicant is entitled to a de minimis variance from Sections 399-108.B. (1) (c) and Section 399-111 of the Zoning Ordinance allowing the construction of the addition without providing any additional parking.

The applicant is entitled to a de minimis variance from the requirement of Section 399-46.F of the Zoning Ordinance allowing 67.1% of the gross area of the tract to be covered by impervious surfaces. Even through the Ordinance was amended since permission was previously granted to exceed the required impervious coverage, the impervious coverage proposed does not exceed the impervious coverage permitted by previous approvals.

The applicant is entitled to a variance allowing construction of the additional 20 feet into the required 50 foot side yard setback to alleviate any hardship imposed by the configuration of the site and the existing buildings upon the applicant’s ability to compete with similarly sized supermarket.

The variances granted to the applicant will not adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the community if the variances are subject to the following conditions.

a. Applicant shall adopt and enforce a written plan, subject to approval by East Brandywine Township, allocating parking for employees of the supermarket.

b. All snow shall be removed from the parking lot so that no parking space or access lane in the parking lot is blocked by snow.

c. The applicant shall investigate the use of porous paving and shall install porous paving if directed to do so by East Brandywine Township.

d. Subject to approval by East Brandywine Township, the applicant shall submit and implement a plan for landscaping and buffering along the western boundary of the property, which plan may exceed the requirements otherwise imposed by the Ordinances of East Brandywine Township.

Traffic Comments from Traffic Planning and Design letter of April 5, 2004

3. Township Traffic Consultant Andy Heinrich stated he did not agree with Traffic Planning and Design’s findings of the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis for the intersection of Horseshoe Pike and North Guthriesville Road. He recommends that the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis be expanded to consider Four-Hour and Eight-Hour Warrants.

Mr. Gerald Baker responded that according to the November 18, 2003 Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis, the proposed expansion of the supermarket will add one trip to the southbound Guthriesville Road approach at the intersection with Horseshoe Pike during the weekday P.M. and Saturday midday peak hours. In addition, during the A.M. peak hour when the traffic volumes are highest on the southbound Guthriesville Road approach, many of the stores within the Brandywine Village Shopping Center are not open and do not contribute to the A.M. peak hour traffic. The Township’s Impact Fee Ordinance proposes improvements to the Horseshoe Pike corridor, which will improve the operation of the intersection of Horseshoe Pike and Guthriesville Road without the need to signalize the intersection. It is Mr. Baker’s opinion that there is no need to conduct further studies for this intersection. The Township’s position is that they would like to see this intersection signalized.

4. Mr. Heinrich stated that the Truck Circulation Plan should be revised to use a WB-62 design vehicle, not a WB-50 design vehicle. Mr. Brower will address this comment.

Ms. Christine Kettlety discussed the April 7th etter sent to Mr. Piersol from Mr. George Broseman, attorney for her mother, Beatrice Watters. Mrs. Watters owns the property immediately west of the Shopping Center. Under the Agreement between the Watters and the owners of Brandywine Village Shopping Center, the Shopping Center is allocated 8,000 gpd and 4,000 is reserved for use by the Watters. The Agreement also provides that if public sewer capacity becomes available the Shopping Center will disconnect from the sewer system on the Watters tract. Public sewer capacity is currently not available.

Ms. Kettlety asked for confirmation that if the Shopping Center connects to public water they will be required to install a sprinkler system. Mr. Piersol confirmed this. She also stated that the employee-parking plan may cause a liability issue for the Township if there are problems since the Township sanctioned the parking plan as submitted.

Decovny Subdivision

The plans depict a proposed 26 lot subdivision of an existing 89.211 acre parcel (tax map parcel 30-6-20) located on the north side of Dowlin Forge Road. The parcel contains an existing farmhouse and farmstead buildings. Wooded steep slopes, ponds, wetlands, and a tributary stream to the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek. The parcel is situated within the R-1 Zoning District and each lot is to be served by on-site water supply and sewage disposal. Mr. Greg Balbirnie from Robert Bruce Homes and Mr. Adam Brower from E.B. Walsh & Associates, Inc. discussed the Yerkes April 2, 2004 review letter.

Zoning Ordinance

1. Section 399-13.E – Approval from PADEP and FEMA for the proposed floodplain modifications must be obtained, and a copy of all approvals and floodplain map revisions must be provided to the Township. The applicant asked whether they need to complete a Letter of Map Revision. Mr. Mayhew stated that the applicant would need to pursue some sort of FEMA recommendation. The applicant will pursue a FEMA certification for certain areas of the property.

2. Section 399-13.F – The farm pond on the east side of the existing driveway is to be replaced by a combination plunge pool and detention basin. The engineer stated that stormwater management alternatives which would allow the existing pond to remain should be discussed with the Planning Commission. It was stated that the pond isn’t in good condition, and is in the flood plain. The applicant plans to clean up the pond, dredge it and put in a spillway. This will make the pond approximately 6 feet deep with a 2 to 3 feet high berm. This will create a forebay off the road and will become a wetland area. Silt will drop into the forebay, remove pollutants, and will not increase water velocity. Mr. Brower stated this improvement will require a Joint 105 Permit.

4. Section 399-14.D.1 (b) . Finished slopes of all cuts and fills within the Steep Slope Conservation District shall be no steeper than 25 percent. The engineer stated that the proposed grading within the Steep Slope Conservation District should be revised accordingly.

5. Section 399-14.d.1 (c) – All lands within the Steep Slope Conservation District that are in excess of 25 percent slope shall remain in an undisturbed, natural condition. Slopes exceeding 25 percent will be depicted on the plans and the site layout will be reconfigured where necessary to avoid disturbance to areas containing greater than 25 percent slopes.

10. Section 2399-22.A.1 – Net Lot Area Definition and Interior Lot Definition – A minimum net lot area of 55,000 square feet is required within the R-1 District. There are five lots that do not appear to provide the minimum net lot area. If that is the case the plan should be revised accordingly. The applicant will be able to determine if these lots meet the minimum net lot area after they receive FEMA certification for the areas in questions.

Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance

25. Sections 350-32A & 350-44.A – A minimum cartway width of 24 feet with vertical curb will be provided. The Township engineer does not support the use of rolled curb.

26. Section 350-34.B – Road A has been designed with a 700-foot long segment that contains centerline grades of 9.8 percent. This road should be redesigned to minimize the length of the road that contains maximum centerline grades. Although centerline grades may have a maximum grade of 10 percent for short lengths, Mr. Giannantonio does not consider 700 feet to be a short length.

28. Section 350-36-A – The applicant will provide deceleration lanes at the proposed road intersection with Dowlin Forge Road.

32. Section 350-45.A – The applicant will not be required to install streetlights.

General Comments

A copy of the Phase I environmental study that has been completed on the parcel will be provided to the Township. The Planning Commission remains concerned that there has been recent dumping on the property.

48. Landscape Plan – Landscape Architect Thomas Kummer stated that the proposed Callery Pear trees should be replaced with another type of tree since Callery Pear trees tend to have weak branches and are prone to storm damage. He also stated that the proposed Pin Oak trees should be replaced with another type of tree since Pin Oak trees tend to have low, spreading branches and are unacceptable along streets. Mr. Brower will discuss this with Mr. Kummer.

Brandywine Wallace Elementary School Lane Development Sketch Plan

The property owner and applicant is the Downingtown Area School District. The property is located on the east side of Dilworth Road between School Lane and Keller Way North and is within the R-2 Residential Zoning District. Access to the site is from Dilworth Road. The existing gross property area is 19.179 acres and the lot contains an existing 52,719 s.f. school building, paved driveway, paved parking areas, on-site sewer and water, lawn and woodland areas. The plan proposes to construct a new 58,612 s.f. two story school building, driveway and parking area. The maximum student capacity will be 650. Public sewer and water is being considered for this property. The existing school, parking areas and accessory facilities are to be demolished. Mr. Gil Lappano, Director of Facilities, Planning and Management for the School District, Mr. Michael Strohecker, Architect, Mr. Walter Tack and Mr. Jack Robinson, Engineers, and Mr. Mark Thomas, Attorney for the applicant discuss the Yerkes April 7, 2004 review letter and updated the Planning Commission on their progress.

On March 15th, a meeting for residents in the vicinity of the school was held. The building design will also be used at the Pickering Valley Elementary School site in Upper Uwchlan Township. Both schools will remain in use while the site and building construction occur.

The school will be two stories in height, with the kindergarten, first and second grades in the rear of the front-facing ground level, and the public spaces, including the gym, cafeteria and administration areas in the front of the building. The public spaces are proposed to be open for public use after school hours. The third, fourth and fifth grades will be located on the lower level. This level will also exit at ground level from the rear toward School Lane. The plan is to construct a long building with a curved central hallway to take advantage of the topography of the existing site. The School District would like to have the building completed by September of 2006.

There were concerns regarding the new construction including the location of the two stormwater detention basins bordering the School Lane properties, and dust from construction activities. The architects indicated soil testing was just beginning for the entire site, and they would pay special attention to the stormwater issue, and the resident’s concerns about potential septic problems. Mr. Piersol assured residents that the

Township Engineer would pay particular attention to the stormwater management issue during the land development reviews.

The Township would like the applicant to install a sidewalk as part of the trail extension to interconnect with the trail easement in the Highland Pointe Development off of Corner Ketch Road.

The existing ball fields will be removed and new ones will be constructed in front of the building, on the far side of the parking lot, after the existing school building is demolished.

Mr. Piersol asked the applicant to install the school zone flashing light as soon as possible, and not wait for construction of the new building.

Zoning

1. Section 399-28.A. (5) – The maximum permitted impervious surface is 12% of the net lot area. The existing impervious surface on the site is 17.5%. All of the existing impervious coverage is proposed to be removed and be replaced with the new building, driveway and parking areas that will increase the impervious surface to 23.2%. A variance will be required. Mr. Giannantonio stated that if the Township considers approval of the variance, appropriate stormwater management facilities must be provided for all of the site’s impervious surfaces in order to protect the surrounding properties.

2. Sections 399-84 & 399-87 – The site proposes construction within steep slope areas of 20% or greater. The engineer has no objection to the construction in the steep slope areas proposed, but a variance will be required.

Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance

6. It is important that the applicant provide suitable screening and buffering between the proposed building and stormwater basins and adjacent property owners. This will be shown on subsequent submissions.

7. Mr. Giannantonio asked that replacement playgrounds, baseball fields, and other outdoor activity areas be incorporated into the plan at this time so that the Township can see the entire site development that is proposed. The applicant discussed how students would be able to cross from the school to the play area safely. The parking lot is divided into two areas. The first area will be used for daytime parking. The second parking area will be used for school bus unloading and excess parking, and school officials will be able to control vehicle and delivery access to that area.

11. Mr. Giannantonio recommends that the new school be served by public water and sewer. The school will be serviced by public water. The Township will work with the applicant and Little Washington Wastewater Company so see if there is capacity to provide sewage to this site. The School will require approximately 9 edu’s (equivalent dwelling units) to adequately serve the site. If this plan is feasible, the applicant may need to apply for a temporary pump and haul permit with PADEP.

12. Stormwater management for all of the impervious areas should incorporate as many Best Management Practices as possible. Groundwater recharge of clean runoff must be the primary goal for this site.

General Comments

The new school roof is proposed to be 28 feet in height. Mechanical units for the school will be placed on the roof and will be screened.

There are currently 77 parking spaces on the property The new plan proposes to have 102 parking spaces and an additional 62 spaces on the hard playground.

A sprinkler system will be installed throughout the school.

Adjournment

There being no further business, Mrs. Marshman made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Giordano seconded the motion, with all voting Aye. The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
