A proposed hotel earmarked for the property that had been Jimmy’s Gym in Franklin Township has cleared its next hurdle.

Township supervisors on Tuesday unanimously granted conditional approval for a lot line revision and minor subdivision plan for Eagle Hospitality LLC.

Plans call for a 17,225-square-foot, 97-room hotel that would become a TownePlace Suites by Marriott.

As part of the conditional approval granted by supervisors:

• Approval from the Department of Environmental Protection regarding the completed sewage planning mailer.

• Documentation must be provided from the Sewer Authority that connection to the system will be permitted, service will be provided, and that the applicant has complied with all system owner requirements.

In May, supervisors approved the letter of request from Eagle Hospitality LLC to grant a 60-day extension for the new hotel facility, expiration date of May 31, to be extended to July 30.

In January, the Carbon County Planning Commission recommended conditional plan approval with the condition that if the comments outlined aren’t adequately mitigated before the preliminary/final plan approval, then the county’s recommendation changes to plan rejection of the project.

The plans, which were updated and resubmitted to the commission, include constructing a 17,225-square-foot, four-story, 97-room hotel that would become a TownePlace Suites by Marriott.

County planner Ivan O. Meixell Jr., said that the plans that were submitted in May were for three stories.

Meixell said that property lines and distance discrepancies that exist between the recorded map of the property and the plan are fixed.

In addition, he said an erosion and sediment pollution control plan must be provided and approved by the Carbon County Conservation District.

Interchange Investment Group LLC of Bethlehem purchased the 9-acre property at 1055 Interchange Road in 2019 for $1.1 million.

There are currently two hotels within a one-mile radius of that section that is just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike exit.
