Meet Mack Monday

Meet Mack Monday | Newtown News of Interest | Scoop.it

Are you concerned overdevelopment in Newtown or about traffic in the shopping center or about the quality of our drinking water or about preserving the open space in our parks or about any issue that has or will come before the Board of Supervisors and other township boards and commissions?

Feel free to attend one of my "Meet Mack Monday" events that I host each month. I will inform you of items coming up for discussion at public meetings you may not be able to attend and that are not televised. I will listen to your concerns and together with other residents and business owners I will try to come up with solutions to problems that make sense for Newtown as a whole.

johnmacknewtown's insight:

Topics discussed at a recent meeting include:

 

  • Newtown A.O.P. (Toll Bros.): a conditional use proposal to construct a cluster of 41 single-family homes on a 152-acre parcel at Rt. 413 and Twining Bridge Road (read "Newtown Residents Dissatisfied With Toll Brothers").
  • Challenge to Validity of the JMZO and variances in connection with proposed convenience store (WAWA) with fuel dispensing station on Newtown Bypass & U. Silver Lake Rd. (this is on the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) schedule for 2/6/20). The Board of Supervisors voted to send its solicitor to this hearing to oppose the challenge.
  • Variances in connection with a proposed 12,500 square foot Old Navy Retail Store (new bldg.) and additions to existing Chick Fil-A (4 West Road) - ZHB will also hear this case on 2/6/20. I will hand out a summary of the results of my "Old Navy/Chick-fil-A Proposal Survey."
  • Update on the ZHB 1/30/20 hearing re Variances in connection with a proposed B-8 use for 27 townhomes on a 4.49 acre lot in the PS-2 district (413 Durham Rd. The Board of Supervisors also opposes this (read "Newtown Supervisors Oppose Plan To Build 27 Townhouses").
