About this project
A company is proposing three new commercial buildings, about 64,432 square feet in total, for storing construction vehicles and equipment on the 10.44-acre property at 4454 Skippack Pike in Skippack Township. The existing single-family house on the site would stay, and the project would add four stormwater basins and access through a driveway that partly sits on a neighboring parcel. Montgomery County planners are hesitant to support it, mainly because contractor and equipment storage is not a permitted use in the General Commercial district.
County planning commission: Raises serious concerns
Issues raised: Contractor and equipment storage not a permitted use in General Commercial district, Does not meet district legislative intent, Unclear access; PennDOT HOP and easement needed, Existing bridge may not handle heavy trucks, Infiltration basins and floodway/riparian buffer protection, Sidewalks recommended along Skippack Pike
