Schoch, Community Planner Raymond J. Stolinas, AICP, Planning & Zoning Director DATE: February 22, 2018 SUBJECT: Proposed Land Development Plan Science Park Plaza On August 16, 2017, Penn Terra Engineering, Inc. on behalf of Gulfstream Equity Partners, submitted a Preliminary/Final Land Development Plan for Science Park Plaza. The Plan has been reviewed by Ferguson Township Planning & Zoning Department, NTM Engineering (for Stormwater), County Planning Office, CRPA, CATA, COG Recycling and Refuse, Centre Region Fire Director, Township Solicitor, Township Engineer, Township Tree Commission, Township Arborist, and Ferguson Township Tree Commission. A Traffic Study was prepared, submitted and is currently in review. At the current time, the following conditions remain: 1. 22-304.7: Prior to receiving final signature, all subdivision and land development plans must be submitted to the Township in digital format. Comment remains. 2. 22.304.5: Prior to final approval of a plan by the Board of Supervisors, the applicant shall pay all review fees, including fees for consultants and engineers for review and reports which were required by the Township, either in the normal course of review or as a result of a problem or issue arising out of the normal review. The review fees and consultant s fees to be paid shall be based upon a scheduled established by resolution by the Board of Supervisors. Comment Remains 3. 22.305: After completion of the procedures required by this Part and after final approval of a plan by the Board of Supervisors, all endorsements shall be so indicated on the approved plan and on as many other copies of the plan as may be desired by the Township. Upon approval and signing of the plan by the Board of Supervisors, the record plan and the plan containing the approval signatures shall be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Centre County by the applicant within 90 days of such approval and signing. Such recording shall be otherwise in conformity with 513 of the Municipalities Planning Code, as amended. Within 10 days after the Recorder of Deeds has properly recorded the plan, a copy of such, including the endorsement of the Recorder of Deeds, shall be forwarded by the applicant to the Township Secretary. Comment Remains 4. 22-401.C.1.l: Signed, notarized statement by the owner certifying ownership of the property. Comment Remains 5. 22-403.O: Completed signature blocks as required by 22-401.A.4 and 22-401.B.2. Comment Remains 6. Stormwater signature blocks must be executed. 26-402.B. Comment Remains

7. Provide an executed copy of the Declaration of Stormwater Access and Maintenance Easement. 26.704 Comment Remains 8. A Stormwater Management Site Plan needs to be reviewed and approved by the Township Stormwater Engineer. (Ch 22-401.a A (1)(j)) Pending. Note 20 should be updated to reference the correct final revision date of the plan. 9. Plan note 5g references a traffic impact study completed by Mr. David E. Wooster and Associates dated July 2004. The referenced traffic impact study was valid for the previously approved plan, but beyond its validity for this plan. The size of the building shown on the current land development plan is listed in plan note 7b as being 54,575 SF, but calculates to be 63,157 SF from the architectural plans. The previously completed study was for a building size of 54,400 SF. A traffic impact study needs to be completed for this project. A scoping meeting should be scheduled by the applicant. Depending upon the results of the study, plan notes 5g, 14 and 17, as well as the driveway designs may need to be altered. (Ch 22-502.3 O (1)) The submitted TIS is currently in review. If the TIS conclusion is validated, Note 15 should probably be reworded to indicate that the referenced agreement is no longer applicable/valid. Elsewise additional comments will be forecoming. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Planning Commission review and recommend approval of the Science Park Plaza Land Development Plan, condition upon the conditions outlined in the memo dated February 22, 2018.

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2018 6:00 PM I. ATTENDANCE The Planning Commission held its regular meeting of the month on Monday, February 12, 2018 at the Ferguson Township Municipal Building. In attendance were: Commission: Staff: Lisa Strickland, Chairperson, Ray Stolinas, Director of Planning & Zoning Bill Keough, Vice Chairperson Lindsay Schoch, Community Planner Ralph Wheland Jeff Ressler, Zoning Administrator Marc McMaster Rob Crassweller Eric Scott Andrea Harman, absent Cristin Mitchell, alternate Jeremie Thompson, alternate Others in attendance were: Marcella Bell, Recording Secretary; Jason Little; State College Area School District; Steve Watson, Penn State Office of Physical Plant; Rhonda Stern, Ferguson Resident; Nelson Hite, Ferguson Resident II. III. IV. CALL TO ORDER Ms. Strickland called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. CITIZEN INPUT There was no input. THISTLEWOOD LOT #7 LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN Mr. Stolinas stated that the September 24, 2004 Final Thistlewood Subdivision Plan indicates that certain individual land development plans shall be prepared for approval by the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors and must be in conformance with the provisions of Chapter 27, Section 702.c.1-7 of the Ferguson Township SALDO. Lot # 7 is identified as such a lot and contains 1.349 acres at 300 Treetops Drive. A proposed single-family dwelling on the lot will contain a building area of 2,670 square feet with a 2,151 square feet parking area and driveway. Drainage easement areas and natural flow channels have been delineated on the record plan along with all utility connections. Mr. Stolinas showed maps of the lot in question on the projector. Mr. Stolinas then turned the floor over to Mrs. Schoch. Mrs. Schoch stated that staff has received comments back from Mr. Ressler and the Centre Regional Planning Agency. Mr. Seybert, the Township Engineer, reviewed the plan and had no comments. Scott Brown, the Township s stormwater engineer from NTM Engineering, is currently reviewing the plan for stormwater and lighting. Mrs. Schoch noted two comments. If anything is going to be constructed in the drainage way, the property owner has to get permission from the Homeowner s Association (HOA). If this

Ferguson Township Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 2 property owner plans on sharing a driveway with lot #8, the property owners must have a driveway agreement in place. In response to a question from Mr. Keough, Mrs. Schoch explained that if the property owner wants to build in the drainage way, the approval from the HOA must be included with the plan before it is recorded. Mr. Crassweller noted that there is almost 5,000 square feet of impervious coverage, which seems like a lot for that lot size. Mrs. Schoch stated that she had the same comments. Mrs. Schoch stated that comments for this plan are due to staff tomorrow. She will compile all comments and send them to the applicant. V. 120 BUCKHOUT STREET CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION Mr. Stolinas stated that provided with the agenda is a copy of the Conditional Use application received from the State College Area School District (SCASD) for property located at 120 Buckhout Street currently owned by the Pennsylvania State University. SCASD entered into a lease agreement with the University from January 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019, to use the property for the storage of construction materials to be used in the Corl Street Elementary Renovation Project. Chapter 27, Section 7031.E. states that any use not specifically permitted with the TS District shall be reviewed through the Conditional Use approval process. Mr. Stolinas reviewed the self-imposed conditions that the SCASD must follow. Mr. Stolinas provided comments from residents Rhonda Stern and Nelson Hite that were made at the Board of Supervisor s meeting on February 5, 2018. Mr. Stolinas also provided comments from Web Glebe, resident of Butz Street. Ms. Stern, a property owner adjacent to the site, stated that the neighborhood surrounding the site is safe to live in. She went on to say that many students live in the neighborhood and they are always nice, polite, and respectful. She explained that she loves living in her neighborhood and does not want the laydown yard to change the characteristic of the neighborhood. The main discussion points on this agenda item revolved around an 80-foot buffer versus a 100-foot buffer, as well as the type of materials that will be used to divide the buffer area from the rest of the lot. Commission members also discussed the issue of the gate on the State College Borough side not being locked after hours. There was a lengthy discussion about the future of this specific property. Commission members wondered how long this site would be used for a laydown yard in general. Ms. Stern spoke to that issue and asked the Commission to consider saying no to this conditional use. She stated that it is disrespectful to allow this type of use to occur time and time again in a residential neighborhood. She stated that it is unsightly to look at and an inconvenience to the residents of the neighborhood. Mr. Watson, Director of Campus Planning at Penn State, stated that the University does not intend on allowing this property to be used as a laydown yard as a long term use. He stated that this is not a financial gain and eventually the use of this property will be consistent with the Terraced Streetscape District (TSD).

Ferguson Township Planning Commission February 12, 2018 Page 3 The Planning Commission provided the following comments: Keep 80-foot buffer area Provide a more substantial barrier of 80-foot buffer area like a fence or concrete curbs. Have a pre-use meeting with adjacent property owners Whether it is someone from the University of the school district, someone should be regularly responsible for locking and unlocking the gate Provide contact information for a representative at the school district that residents can contact with concerns or questions at all times of the day No construction should be done on the site No disturbing the stormwater landscaping A motion was made by Mr. Wheland and seconded by Mr. Scott to recommend to the Board of Supervisors the approval of the conditional use for the Houtz property, taking into consideration the Planning Commission comments. The motion carried 6-0. VI. CONSENT AGENDA 100 West College Avenue Plan Withdrawal CRPA Selected Demographic Data for the Centre Region CRPA Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana There was a lengthy discussion regarding the CRPA Selected Demographic Data for the Centre Region. The discussion centered around the numbers and percentages for the median household income. There was concern regarding the data that CRPA used to create the demographic data versus the US Census data. Many Commissioners had concern about the numbers and percentages on the provided data sheet as it relates to the Legacy Program regarding affordable housing. Mr. Stolinas stated that he will verify information with Missy Schoonover of the Centre County Housing and Land Trust Program to bring back to the Planning Commission. A motion was made by Mr. McMaster and seconded by Mr. Keough to approve the remaining two items on the Consent Agenda. The motion carried 6-0. VII. PLANNING DIRECTOR S REPORT Mr. Stolinas reviewed his report. On January 23, 2018, the Planning & Zoning Director, Community Planner, and Zoning Administrator met with Jane Liszak, a resident of State College Borough, regarding the Pine Hall TTD Master Plan, specifically the previously approved Specific Implementation Plan for 10 townhouses. Also on January 23, 2018, the Planning & Zoning Director met with Maureen Safko, Senior Planner with State College Borough and Missy Schoonover, Executive Director of the Centre County Housing and Land Trust to discuss the update process for the CCHLT Strategic Plan.
