644 Gravel Pike

About this project

The plans convert an existing garage behind the restaurant that stays on the 0.65-acre lot at 644 Gravel Pike in Upper Hanover Township into about 1,000 square feet of retail space and two apartments, each with its own one-car garage. The surface parking on the lot will also be reconfigured. The county planning commission generally supports the project but asks the township to deny the request to skip sidewalks along Gravel Pike.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Sidewalk waiver along Gravel Pike should be denied, Excess surface parking could be reduced to allow a sidewalk
