To whom it may concern: GILBERT P. HIGH, JR. Solicitor
Upper Dublin Township has reviewed Final Plans for Land Development Approval for the tract at the corner of Welsh Road and Dreshertown Road. This project received Preliminary Plan Approval, with Conditions, from the board of Commissioners, on July 11, 2017. We offer the following comments and requests regarding this plan: Background This application requests Final Plan approval of a proposed mixed use development consisting of office, commercial, residential, and building services units. The site area is 25.41 acres in gross. Improvements include public water and sewer, proposed roads, parking, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management, open space and other utilities.
General Plan Comments 1. The following items are now required as part of the Final Plan approval application: • •
ADA compliance details for sidewalk, and handicap ramps, parking stalls, etc. House and/or building unit numbers.
2. There are a few locations where the exterior walkway veers onto the private land. An easement should be depicted for the walkway in these areas, allowing public access. This would coincide with an easement for additional R-O-W regarding future road improvements also.
