NOTICE – WESTTOWN TOWNSHIP
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Zoning Hearing Board of Westtown Township will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, commencing at 6:30 P.M. at the Stokes Assembly Hall at the Westtown Township Municipal Building, 1039 Wilmington Pike, this Township. At the conclusion of the said public hearing, the Board will hold a public meeting at the same place to consider said application and possibly act upon the same and conduct such other business as may properly come before it.
The purpose of the hearing is to receive evidence in reference to the application of Matthew and Hayley Leocha, legal and equitable owners of a tract of land known as 14 Stanton Ave, this Township. The premises is identified on the maps of the Assessor of Chester County as Tax Parcel 67-4F-6. The premises is located in an area designated on the Zoning Map of Westtown Township as an R-2 Residential Zoning District.
There is presently extant upon the premises a single family detached dwelling. The Applicants seek to construct along both of the side lot lines a three foot high opaque fence extending into the front yard setback area. The project as proposed, therefore would be violative of the provisions of Section 170-1506.C.(1) which provides, inter alia, “A fence located within the required front building setback area of any yard . . . shall have a ratio of open to structural areas of at least 1:1”. The Applicant therefore seeks relief by way of variance of such other relief as may be available to permit the construction of the opaque fences as proposed.
The application, together with plans and explanatory material is on file at the Westtown Township Municipal Building, 1039 Wilmington Pike, this Township, where the same may be reviewed without cost during normal business hours and where copies thereof may be obtained at cost of reproduction.
All persons interested may be present and give testimony if they so desire.
Any person, who, by reason of disability, requires assistance in order to attend and participate in said meeting should contact the Township Manager by telephone, (610) 692-1930 during normal business hours.
