H&K Asks Lower Pottsgrove For A New Digital Sign

SANATOGA PA – Yet another organization is asking Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township for permission to replace a staid, “plain old” sign with something a little more modern, more fashionable, and more animated.

Haines and Kibblehouse Inc., the construction materials and contracting company based in Skippack PA and with operations spread over several states, is asking the Lower Pottsgrove Zoning Hearing Board for its approval to erect a two-sided digital display billboard on property off South Sanatoga Road.

The Haines and Kibblehouse Trap Rock Quarry in Sanatoga.

An advertisement of the zoning board hearing, scheduled for Sept. 21 (2010; Tuesday) at 6 p.m. in the municipal building, appears today (Monday, Sept. 13) in The (Pottstown PA) Mercury newspaper, the township’s publication of record for legal notices.

Montgomery County property records indicate the parcel on which the sign would be located, No. 420001856001, is a 12.94-acre property purchased in 1980. Its accompanying map shows the property has extensive frontage along U.S. Route 422, where an existing Haines and Kibblehouse sign atop a hill is visible from the highway’s west- and east-bound lanes. The property is near H&K’s Pottstown-Sanatoga Trap Rock Quarry.

Presumably, although the notice is less specific, it is the 422-facing sign and base structure that would be replaced with an “elevated pole or mast-mounted” digital display. The property is zoned for light industrial use, according to the notice, although the county record last updated on Sept. 7 lists it as zoned “R3″ residential use.

A variance is required for the replacement, necessitating the hearing that will be open to the public at 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA.

In the recent past the zoning board has ruled favorably on similar sign requests from the Sunnybrook Foundation, which has yet to erect its new sign facing East High Street traffic at the Sprogels Run bridge; and from Coventry Christian Schools, which put up its digital display outside its North Pleasant View Road campus.

Anthony E. Jeremias, which Haines and Kibblehouse identifies as its manager of community relations and external affairs, filed the application on behalf of the company headquartered at 2052 Lucon Rd., Skippack PA.

  1. EJ Cox says:

    This employer of people provides revenue for the township. A modern sign along 422 would be fine so long as it’s sited properly and not an annoyance ot residential properties adjacent to it.

    One element this signage can be shut down after certain hours to prevent needless light pollution.
