Developers of the proposed warehouse on Route 940 in eastern Kidder Township came before Kidder’s Planning Commission’s December meeting with updated plans.
The building, 1,137 feet long and 650 feet wide - 739,050 square feet, would have the long portion parallel to Route 940, set back from the road, slightly downhill from the road. A single entrance is planned, with a ring road circling the building. Loading docks would be on the north and south sides. The south side faces Route 940.
The plan is to have acceleration and deceleration lanes on Route 940 for the trucks.
The site will be fenced. A water tank and hydrants will be in place. Plans for the septic system were shown, but depend on the tenant. Heavier water use would require a separate septic field on the other side of Route 940. Lighting and landscaping plans will come later.
Developer Richard Henry & Sons LLC hopes to have all permits in place in order to begin construction in October 2021.
The only objection was that the site should have two entries/exits.
No action was required of the board.
The other presentation of the night came from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for Hickory Run State Park, where they will replace three of the old bathhouses and latrines with modern versions, enlarging one other, and build a new one at the group camping area. The group camping area only has a portable toilet now. Sewer is in place at all locations.
No action was asked for this night. DCNR wanted to let the township know what its plans for 2021 for the park will be.
