Speedway has resubmitted plans seeking zoning variances on the four (4) acres formerly occupied by the old Mt View Inn property in order to construct a gas station & convenience store.These variances include the permitting of fueling on the property and deviations to the township landscaping ordinances as well as signage. This proposal will significantly increase traffic entering/exiting Route 30 and more importantly increase the potential for congestion and accidents in an intersection currently rated a “D” by PennDot. In addition, the proposed Speedway will also contribute to light/air pollution and significantly increase vehicular noise in the community in which we live. We oppose the health, safety, & welfare negative implications that this will bring. As a Unity Township homeowner, I strongly oppose this development as proposed.
Why is this important?
Speedway has proposed new plans. There will be Unity Township Upcoming Special Hearings, Zoning Board Meetings, and Planning Commission Meetings to try to grant conditional use and zoning variances to Speedway/Marathon.
