The vote was 5-0. Signature
Personal Care and Memory Care will construct a one-story,that will house 80
memory and personal care units. The facility will be located at the
intersection of South Krocks and Lower Macungie roads and will include
associated private roadways, storm water management facilities and the
extension of a bike path.
Commissioner Ronald W.
Beitler voted for the resolution, but lamented what he termed was a missed
opportunity.
"It's unfortunate the
township didn't have a crack at this with the school district," Ronald W.
Beitler said. "Had we known this property for sale the township would have
strongly considered purchasing it." He added that the township would have
likely been able to retain the playground there was a public amenity and also
to subdivide the school building and sell separately remaining in tact.
"That being what it is,
this is a good use for the township," Ronald W. Beitler said. "I'm
not a big fan of this project," said Commissioner Brian Higgins. In other news,
commissioners also approved a 874,800 square foot facility with 170 loading
docks at 8449 Congdon Hill Dr.
The consolidated lot rests on just under 75
acres. The resolution was on one of developer David Jaindl's settlement
agreement warehouses. Beitler also expressed concerns about this project that
were centered around truck traffic. He wanted to prevent trucks from turning
right off Congdon Hill Drive, which is a private road. It also serves as the
main entrance to several warehouses off Spring Creek Road into the borough of
Alburtis. In addition, he also was concerned with trucks using Mertztown and
Creamery road west as shortcuts to avoid congestion on Route 222.
