Amazon proposes 98,500 sq. ft. Moore Road warehouse with large stormwater basins and 353 EV chargers

Representatives for Amazon Services, LLC and Northpoint Development presented their third submission for a proposed 98,500-square-foot warehouse at 760 Moore Road on a 21.43-acre site in the KPMU district. Civil engineer Linsey Breylinger described stormwater measures: an MRC basin east of the building to capture roof runoff and two additional underground retention basins to meet the Township's volume, water quality and rate requirements; she said the MRC basin holds approximately "80 to 90 thousand cubic feet of water" and the southern basin "approximately 230 thousand cubic feet." The team said they reduced impervious cover by about one acre (roughly 6 percent of the site) and proposed water-device filters and backflow prevention on outlets to manage high-stream events.

Traffic engineer Matt Henman said the existing Moore Road access remains, the Route 23 access will move slightly west and be modified to allow right-in/right-out and a designated left-in lane, and a dedicated eastbound left-turn lane will be added as part of Mancill Mill Road improvements. Architect Ryan Kane showed building details and said "this site will have 353 EV Chargers, Amazon is committed to go fully electric in the near future." The applicants requested six waivers (including allowing basin #3 to empty in 116 hours instead of 72 and partial waivers on pipe diameter and aerial photo in lieu of a full survey). The Board and staff discussed trail connectivity, sidewalk requirements and limitations because Norfolk Southern owns rail tracts; the applicant said it will coordinate where possible and provided a flood-study approval from the Township engineer.
