CONSHOHOCKEN>> The applicant for several variances
to allow a large office building on Washington Street Monday night requested a
hearing continuance from the Conshohocken Zoning Hearing Board and the
continuance was granted.
One of the five board members, Janis Vacca, was absent
but four board members were present. If the board had deadlocked in a 2-to-2
vote on the variance requests, the variance requests would be denied.
Attorney Edmund Campbell Jr., representing O’Neill
Properties Group (OPG) of Upper Merion, has asked for variances to build a
420,000-square-foot office building that is 400 linear feet long and 135 feet
high, with an impervious coverage of 80 percent on the five-acre parcel.
Campbell also asked for a zoning ruling that a proposed, 2,200-space parking
garage between the building and the Schuylkill River bank complied with zoning.
The zoning code prohibits a parking garage that is parallel to the Schuylkill
River.
Conshohocken’s zoning regulations allow an office
building that is 250 feet long and 85 feet high, with a maximum impervious
coverage of 70 percent.
The board did not schedule the continuance but will
readvertise a new hearing date, said board chairman Richard Barton.
