About this project
JP Morgan Chase Bank plans to demolish a former car wash and gas station at 773 Bethlehem Pike in Montgomery Township and build a new 3,310-square-foot bank branch with a drive-through ATM on about 0.93 acres. Landscaping and grass across the site would cut the paved, impervious coverage from about 97% to about 65%.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: no true bail-out lane for the drive-through ATM queue, southbound left turns depend on PennDOT approval, screening buffer variance and waiver, suggestion to hold four parking spaces in reserve (applicant declined)
