About this project
Kefelonia Partners wants to add a 3,600-square-foot addition to the existing one-story building at 900 N. Bethlehem Pike in Lower Gwynedd so it can operate as a daycare. The plan also expands the parking lot at the rear, which requires clearing trees there, adds a raised outdoor play area, and turns three front parking spaces into green space with street trees.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: requested landscaping waivers and their effect on the Bethlehem Pike corridor, fewer shade trees than required for site interior and parking lot, rear tree removal without required replacement trees, add trees in existing front parking lot islands, add shade trees around the outdoor play area
