POTTSTOWN PA – A proposal to build environmentally friendly garden suite apartments at the Buchert Ridge Community, 2011 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, needs variances from Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township building height limitations, and will be the subject of a township Zoning Hearing Board meeting next Tuesday (Oct. 19, 2010).

The hearing, which is open to the public for comment, will be held at 6 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown.

Developer J. Wilmer Hallman wants to erect the multi-story apartment building, designed to appeal to retirees, with a maximum height of 45 feet in what is an R-2 residentially zoned district. He also is asking the hearing board to reconsider how the height of a building is determined for zoning purposes.

An announcement of the hearing has been advertised several times, and most recently Thursday (Oct. 14), in The (Pottstown PA) Mercury newspaper, the township’s publication of record for legal notices.

Also on the meeting agenda, according to its Solicitor Robert Brant, is a request by the Berean Bible Church, 2675 E. High St., Pottstown PA, for the board to accept existing exterior lighting at the church property as having met minimum lighting requirements of the R-3 residentially zoned district in which it is located.
