The development proposes a public sanitary sewer pumping station intended for dedication to the Northwestern Lancaster County Authority (NWLCA) and all proposed sanitary sewer mains for dedication to the NWLCA. All proposed water mains are intended for dedication to the public water authority serving the development, Manheim Area Water and Sewer Authority (MAWSA). An NPDES permit will be required as part of the project due to the limit of disturbance and the applicant will be required to obtain a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) for access onto Fruitville Pike.

Penn Station Townhomes Expansion:

  • The Preliminary/Final Land Development & Lot Add-On Plan is submitted for the property at 246 Fruitville Pike, commonly referred to as “Penn Station Townhomes.”

  • The proposed plan has been prepared to supersede the improvements. Prior approvals include a granted Special Exception from the Penn Township Zoning Hearing Board for front-loaded garages and variances to reduce required front yard setbacks as well as to not provide proposed lot lines for the semi-detached dwellings. Applicant has reiterated the ZHB’s decision on the coversheet of the planset as submitted.

Non-Residential Projects

670 Lancaster Road (Formerly Cain’s Lanes):

  • Demolition of existing bowling alley building and parking area; construction of an automated car wash and drive-through coffee shop with a reduction in overall impervious surface area
  • Northwest corner of the Lancaster Road (SR 72) and West Sun Hill Road intersection

The Rohrer’s Quarry Lititz Road Realignment Project is available for review. The project includes:

  • A signaled light at Fruitville Pike and the to be newly constructed Connector Road which will tie into Erbs Quarry Road, the closure of Lititz Road between Fruitville Pike and Erbs Quarry Road to the public after the new Connector Road is constructed, and restricted access at the intersection of Erbs Quarry Road and Bent Creek with right-in and right-out traffic movements.
  • The Connector Road will become the new PennDOT Road.
  • The new Connector Road and Erbs Quarry Road between the new Connector Road and Lititz Road will be widened as part of the project.
  • The eastern leg of Lititz Road will be turned into a cul-de-sac to service the two properties.
  • Reducing crashes at this intersection is a well-documented priority for Penn Township and PennDOT. It is Penn Township’s belief that effectively making this a “3-leg” intersection will improve safety at this intersection as well as reducing heavy traffic in the Brighton area of Manheim Township.
