Dock Woods Hybrid Apartments

304 Dock Drive, Towamencin, PA · 17 homes, senior living · 21.54 acres

About this project

Living Branches plans to tear down two existing multiplexes in the Dock Acres section of the Dock Ridge Senior Residences campus at 304 Dock Drive and replace them with one building of 17 apartments, with a parking garage. The building would be up to 52 feet tall, above the 35-foot limit, so it needs conditional use approval. The work would affect about 1.91 acres of the 21.54-acre site.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Existing Dock Drive sidewalk to be removed; county wants it kept or replaced, plus a crosswalk at the entry, No renderings or elevations submitted for the 52-ft building, Lawn and front/rear areas have little planting; county suggests rain gardens and street trees, Central greenspace opportunity in the parking island across from the garage entry, Shrub plant groupings should be changed to groups of 3, 5, or 7
