IMPORTANT POST

 Things are starting to get interesting, folks.


According to a letter from Dischell Bartle Dooley Law Offices posted on the Skippack Township website, there is going to be a meeting on February 1, 2022 at 6:30 PM at the Skippack Township building on Heckler Road in which the developer can "... meet with the current residents surrounding the Subject Property." In this letter, they state that "[t]he meeting is being offered by the Applicant so that neighbors may ask questions and express their concerns with, objections to and/or support for Application to development of the Subject Property ..."

Let's not mince words. The fact that the developer is hosting this meeting means that we are making our voices heard. We cannot rest on our laurels, however. We are going up against Audubon Land Development Corporation and Del Grippo Homes, and these guys have the money to throw at lawyers to get what they want. The only way we can possibly put a stop to this is through sheer numbers, so ...



... and go to this meeting to voice opposition. We need as many people as possible to show up ... make it standing room only, folks.

The idea is to make the developer keenly aware of just how much opposition is out there (currently just over 94% of respondents are opposed to this development), and how expensive we intend to make this project for them. If this development is allowed to go through, we will throw every possible obstruction at them: demanding soil tests, water tests, wildlife and traffic studies, economic impact studies, more soil studies, more water studies. We will object to every possible variance for which they. We will make it absolutely, 100% crystal clear that any member of the Board of Supervisors who goes on record as supporting this development, or who votes to allow it to go through, will lose their job in the next election.

We hope to see you there. We ask that you be prepared to not only state that you are opposed to this development but also that you intend to hold elected officials accountable.

We can do this, folks!

A Rundown

Well, they did it. Tonight at the Skippack Township Planning Commission meeting, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the conditional use permit requested by Audubon Land Development Corporation and Del Grippo Homes. This gives them the green light to move forward with the Mill Run development on the site of the Perkiomen Valley Airport, despite repeated pleas over a period of six months from nearly 500 residents that this not happen. Now I'm annoyed. No, scratch that ... I'm pissed . On a stratospheric, biblical level. Pissed to the point of wishing for each of the Commission members genital boils, COVID, leprosy, and a full IRS audit. The thing is, I'm not so much ticked off at the result -- although it does infuriate me to no end -- but to the complete and utter lack of respect for the residents, the casual dismissal of their concerns, and the use of various procedural stunts to try to derail us: The Board of Supervisors claimed that BoS meetings were not fora f...

WE NEED YOU!

  This Monday, February 21 st at 7:30 PM at the Skippack Township Building located at 4089 Heckler Road next to Skippack Elementary School, there will be a meeting of the Planning Commission to discuss the Conditional Use Permit for the development of the Perkiomen Valley Airport property. The Planning Commission is going to vote whether or not to recommend acceptance of the Conditional Use application to the Board of Supervisors. We need as many people as possible to show up and voice their disapproval, and to make it clear that this is a political career-ending issue for anyone who supports the development. There will be a period of public comment prior to this vote being taken. Since each resident will be given a limited time to speak, we would like to coordinate what people will say so that we can maximize our impact; however, coordination is not a requirement. All we are asking is that people show up to voice their opposition. Below is some background on the project. ...

Project update: November 5, 2021

An update on the proposed housing development at the Perkiomen Valley airport. It's a long one, but there is a lot of useful information. There is a picture of the front page of the site plan above so folks can get an idea of what is being proposed. Below are the bullet points. 1. The proposed name of the subdivision is Mill Run . 2. In an earlier post we identified Tuesday, November 16 at 7:30 PM as the date and time of the planning commission meeting. This was obtained from Skippack Township web site. The day after this was posted, the township changed the meeting date and time to Monday, November 15th at 7:30 PM. 3. Dave Naples went to the township building this morning (Friday, November 5, 2021) and got a look at the site plan. We have pictures of almost all the pages (a couple of them are illegible due to poor camera work -- our apologies). 4. The site plan was prepared by Bursich Associates , located at 2129 E. High Street in Pottstown. 5. The developer is listed as 761 Colle...
