North Strabane To Revise Personal Warehouse Ordinance

North Strabane Township Supervisors have adopted an ordinance to allow personal warehouses in the township. Development for a personal warehouse venue by CC Realty Advisors is still in the conceptual stage and supervisors took steps at their voting meeting to tie down a few loose details in the ordinance. Better defined parking regulations and a minimum acreage limit will be added to the ordinance. CC Realty Advisors approached the zoning hearing board with variances regarding parking and township officials want to make sure that parking is adequate for the needs of the development and that with a minimum acreage figure, the development will not be overcrowded. Data from other personal warehouses around the country pertaining to parking and lot size are now in township officials’ hands. That was not the case when the ordinance was adopted several months ago. They are studying the data to determine the precise regulations. One idea that had been discussed is the ability for parking to take place in front of garage doors. That idea will not be implemented. In other township business, supervisors authorized the Public Works Director to apply for Pennsylvania Small Water and Sewage Grants for projects on McGregor Drive and Curry Avenue. Next month’s meeting schedule will be different. The non-legislative meeting will be held on May 13, the legislative meeting will be held May 27, all because of the Primary Election on May 20.
