Linglestown Gazette
Lower Paxton Twp. Zoning Hearing Board meeting, 06.25.09 By SWAN Kyleen R. Beistline - Docket No. 1261 … This request was for a variance from the minimum side yard setback requirement regarding a proposed addition to the house at 6134 Blue Ridge Avenue located in the R-2 Medium Density Residential District. The side yard setback requirement is 15 feet but the existing side yard on one side of the house is currently only 6 feet as a result of the enclosure of a porch to create a dining room by a previous owner. The proposed addition would extend the six-foot set back farther to the rear of the property. The addition would not exceed the requirements for maximum building coverage of 50 percent or the maximum impervious coverage of 60 percent. The variance request was approved. Select Medical Property Ventures, Inc. - Docket No. 1262 … This application involves the former Villa Teresa Nursing Home property located at 1051 Avila Road in the IN Institutional District. The 6.2 acres lot contains the former nursing home building and a two-story convent building. The owner wishes to subdivide the property into two lots, one for each building, so that the convent building can be sold to the Diocese of Harrisburg. The reason for the variance request is that there is only 29.3 feet between the two buildings. The owner requested a variance from the minimum 25-foot side yard setback requirement for each building so the new line dividing the properties can be placed equidistance between the two existing structures. There was concern that depending on the possible future use of the nursing home building there might not be enough parking available to meet the code requirement but it was pointed out that there is open space to the south of the building for more parking if needed. Considering that the existing buildings are in the Institutional District it was felt the side yard set back requirement was not as critical as it would be in a residential district. The variance request was approved. MLG Enterprises - Docket No.1263, issues related to a proposed subdivision at 300 N. Mountain Rd., location of the Best Western Hotel. This application was continued until the July board meeting at the request of the applicant. Beau Brown and Naomi Williams - Docket No. SE 09-04, proposal
to use the property at 4015 Jonestown Road as a residence and a commercial
real estate office. This application was withdrawn by the applicant.
