PAYMENT RËCEIVED BY~/~# WTS-10 MAY 2004 ' (717) 264-6364 //;~ ? Phone No. Date: ) ADDENDUM TO APPLICATION ZONING MAP AMENDMENT LLT PARTNERS LLC WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP FRANKLIN COUNTY, PA JANUARY 12,2006 This addendum accompanies the application of LL T Partners LLC for the property known as the Tennis Club remnant and a portion in the southwest comer of the tract found on the Washington Township Tax Map Q5-106, along Polktown Road (S.R. 2005), and 450 feet from the intersection with PA Route 16. This property was originally zoned "R-2" in the 1990's, and converted to a "c" district. It is requested that this property consisting of 2.89 Acres be returned to "R-2". It is situated behind the Tennis Club, and located adjacent to the Hawkstone Subdivision. It is found between seven homes on the west side and three homes on the east side. There are businesses on Route 16 and across the street on Polktown Road, namely Frank's Pizza, Walker's Home Remodeling Business and Bingaman's Auto Radiator Service (the latter two businesses are home occupations). There is also a mobile home park (Pleasant View) at the intersection of Polktown Road and Hawkcrest Drive on the east side. An intense commercial zone is incompatible with the predominant residential character of the neighborhood. Residential development guidelines also favor the site's topographic features, drainage patterns, indigenous soils, geology and vegetative cover. A proposed townhouse project would be quite suitable for this property. Therefore, the zoning district should be changed from "c" to "R-2" in accordance with Section 1900 of the Washington Township Zoning Ordinance. It does not adversely impact public service facilities. It also provides regional housing needs. The property is suitable for a maximum of 21 townhouse units, a play area and a stormwater basin including garages, driveways, curbs, sidewalks, grassed channels and landscape trees. It is being designed to facilitate smooth, safe traffic flow onto and off the site. With common yards and permanent open space, it can also be designed in an environmentally sensitive manner. As a result, re-zoning this property would be very appropriate and beneficial to thè community. The parcel of land is impractical for commercial development due to its topographic character ranging from 7 to 11 percent slope. It is surrounded on two sides by the "R-2" district and two sides by the "c" district. Regarding the site, there will be stonnwater runoff infiltration in shallow, matted, grass-covered channels and detention in an on-site basin eliminating drainage from crossing Polktown Road. Proposed grading, stormwater management and Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans have been submitted to your Engineer, Martin and Martin Inc. for review and comments. No additional runoff, actually less, will be generated from development of this site. Also cleaner and slower flows will be determined according to our design. This will be coordinated with Franklin County Conservation District. ) We are proposing only 10 percent building area and another 25 percent impervious area consistent with the R-2 district. We are leaving 65 percent in open space, while the "C" district only requires 1 0 percent in lawns and landscaping. The "R-2" district allows condominium townhouse dwellings not exceeding 3 stories in height and 6 units per structure, which cannot be instituted in the "C" district. Rezoning this site is consistent with Township and County planning. We request this zoning map amendment, and eight copies of our Sketch Plan are being submitted for your review and action. A legal description of the property, and Martin and Martin, Inc.'s report are being attached to enhance our request. No other objections were voiced at the November public hearing. If favorable for this zoning map amendment, a Subdivision and Land Development Plan will be forthcoming soon afterward. M:\PROJECT TYPING\5632\REVISED ZONING MAP AMENDMENT,doc . . I . .
