Miles Park Proposed Batting Cage Pavilion

About this project

Whitemarsh Township Little League plans a covered batting cage pavilion of about 5,320 square feet in Miles Park at 303 Germantown Pike, in the north part of the park near the northernmost baseball field. An existing structure is demolished and the uncovered batting cage area is redeveloped, with a rain garden and stormwater basin added.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: Pavilion may be treated as an accessory building, which has a 20-foot height limit instead of 35 feet, No landscaping plan with plant locations, species, and sizes, Rain garden outfall is close to the pedestrian path, risking flooding and ice, Drainage basin outfall along the pavilion walls also sits near the pedestrian path, Unclear whether rain garden outfall is meant to drain into an existing pipe
