About this project
A developer plans 65 condominium-style townhouses in 12 buildings on roughly 16 acres off Willson Street, straddling Upper Pottsgrove Township and Pottstown Borough. The land is mostly vacant and partly wooded, with one residential parcel included. County planners support the plan's land use fit but want changes to stormwater basins, road access, and open space.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: stormwater infiltration basin does not meet 50-foot setback, single access point from Willson Avenue; second road access required, emergency access from Coolidge Street is a shared drive, centrally located open space not clearly provided, pedestrian access and street trees need attention, stormwater freeboard waiver requested
