Silver Spring supervisors table 1.1-million-square-foot warehouse, housing development



Silver Spring Township supervisors tabled a 1.1-million-square-foot distribution warehouse on Fry Drive on Wednesday so officials can work out conditions.

The supervisors held a required conditional use public hearing for the Exeter Property Group plan to construct a warehouse in the general industrial zoning district. Warehouses are permitted in the district by conditional use.


"It was tabled because it’s a conditional use, and we had a lot of conditions," Supervisor Nancy Griffie said this morning. "Nothing momentous."

The tract is about 78 acres, according to township documents. A real estate investment firm based in Plymouth Meeting, Exeter Property Group also owns a 424,000-square-foot warehouse at 40 Dauphin Drive in Silver Spring. Exeter recently received approval for a 176,000-square-foot expansion of that facility.

In other news, the supervisors also tabled a preliminary subdivision plan for 47 homes known as Hunters Glen. The development is proposed in the rural residential zone on the west side of Hunter Drive.

It was tabled because it is partly in Hampden Township, Griffie said.

“They didn’t have a chance to review it at their planning commission,” she said.

The 72.5-acre tract is being developed by the estate of Oliver and Mary Rosenberg, according to county planning documents.
