490 Penllyn Blue Bell Pike

About this project

Karya Properties, LLC plans to split the 7.24-acre flag lot at 490 Penllyn Blue Bell Pike in Whitpain Township into two lots, roughly 75,100 and 205,600 square feet. An existing house sits on the new lot 1, which backs up to Penllyn Creek, and both lots would be reached by extending the existing shared driveway along a 50-foot access and utility easement.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Flag lot access width along shared driveway unclear, Second flag lot driveway crossing Lot 1 may need variance, Riparian buffer along Penllyn Creek not shown on plan, Driveway extension crosses creek and disturbs buffer, Paved driveway may affect septic system, Drainage field not shown on site plan
