Board approves most Summit Crossing modification requests, denies others and sets design direction

West Cocalico Township supervisors voted on a package of subdivision modification requests for the Summit Crossing development and set the developer’s preferred street alignment. The board indicated Landmark should proceed using Option A, which uses a 100‑foot radius horizontal curve to connect streets, and approved or denied a series of requested waivers with conditions tied to engineering and emergency‑service review.

During the discussion, the board approved a preliminary plan application modification conditioned on a 180‑day time extension and approved several Blue Lake Road waivers including curb, sidewalk and improvements to the existing abutting street. The board denied multiple modifications for Windy Mansion Road and West Main Street (SR 0897), and it denied a request for joint driveway use. Several approvals were conditioned on satisfaction from the Township Engineer and Emergency Management Services; one stormwater pipe‑size modification was postponed until the developer finalizes the plan. Motions were made by Jeff Sauder and Leon Eby and carried unanimously on each vote.

The board also required that any approved street‑tree modification ensure the cumulative tree count for the development meets the required number for all lots. A specific request to withdraw a modification for dead‑end primary access was recorded: Josh Boultbee withdrew that request. The record shows the board took each waiver item individually and attached conditions (engineering approvals, PA DEP approval on volume control, or a hold‑harmless agreement when applicable) before voting.
