Franklin Township supervisors will conduct the special session at 6:30 p.m. Monday to review Phifer Rentals plans for a 60-unit luxury apartment complex.

The project on a 5.39-acre property on the southwest corner of Fairyland Road and Wagner Street calls for the construction of three apartment buildings.

Jay Cooperman, one of the developers, estimated that the apartment complex could generate between $125,000 and $150,000 in tax revenues.

Cooperman said the plans originally received zoning approval for 48 units in November 2024.

At a three-hour meeting in January, supervisors reviewed unresolved engineering and subdivision issues, including:

• Approval required from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for the sewage planning module tied to the proposed sewer connection.

• A highway occupancy permit is required from PennDOT for the proposed driveway connection to Fairyland Road.

• The Carbon County Conservation District must approve the erosion and sediment control plan. A stormwater permit is also required.

• Township regulations limit developments to 12 dwelling units per single access point. The plan proposes 60 units, and a waiver has been requested.

• Curbs are required around parking areas; a waiver has been requested, and the engineer raised no objections.

• The plan designates 1.3 acres for recreation, exceeding the required 1.078 acres based on township standards.

Residents have voiced concerns about water, sewer, increased traffic and giving money to the township for recreation.
