It Could Be Awhile Before Sanatoga Pizza Oven Fires Up

Posted on 21 October 2010. Tags: ,

SANATOGA PA – Hungry for Italian food? You won’t be able to find it yet on the 2200 block of East High Street in Sanatoga village, but a restaurant that someday hopes to offer it there is moving closer to being built.

Vacant land on East High Street next door to the former Rite Aid in Sanatoga could be the future home of Bella Italia Pizza.

A preliminary land development plan for construction of the proposed Bella Italia Restaurant and Pizzeria, 2209 E. High St., Pottstown PA, is scheduled to be considered and could be approved tonight (Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010) by the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners when it meets at 7 p.m.

This event has been added to The Post calendar.

The meeting in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown, is open to the public. An agenda is available for download from the township website; find it here.

The restaurant was first proposed last November (2009) by Cilluffo Property Holdings LLC to be built on a vacant lot just west of the former Rite-Aid Pharmacy. Its plans since then have endured scrutiny by the township Planning Commission, the Zoning Hearing Board, the Board of Commissioners, Montgomery County planners, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Each has offered opinions that modified the plans somewhat.

Cilluffo returned to the Planning Commission during September (2010) with all necessary changes made, and one remaining problem. It had not yet reached a legal agreement with its neighbors on the use of an alley at the property’s west side as an exit from the restaurant parking lot to Sunnyside Avenue.

Planning commissioners made it clear an agreement must be in place before final approval was granted. To lend some urgency to the process, however, they gave a qualified endorsement for preliminary or interim approval and sent it on to the township board for its determination.

Also on the commissioner’s agenda:

  • An update on the bond issue proposed to be issued by the township Sewer Authority for sewer system upgrades and improvements;
  • Consideration of contractors’ snow removal bids for the coming winter; and
  • Correspondence from NCD Associates of Jamison PA regarding the township’s telecommunications and utility billings.
