Foulkeways Riparian Buffer Piping Conditional Use
MEETINGHOUSE ROAD, Lower Gwynedd, PA · Plan review · 100.84 acres
About this project
Foulkeways at Gwynedd, a retirement community on Meetinghouse Road, wants to pipe about 160 feet of a tributary to Trewellyn Creek to make room for redeveloping its fitness center and natatorium. The campus covers roughly 100 acres, and the piping would affect a riparian buffer. The county generally supports the request but asks for replanting of wetland and riparian vegetation on the site.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Riparian buffer impact from piping the tributary, Replace destroyed riparian and wetland area on site per zoning § 1298.17(c), Whether a future building expansion meets § 1298.17 criteria, deferred to township solicitor, Piping tied to potential future fitness center expansion
