Videon Seeks Relocation and Garage at West Chester Pike Site
Videon Chrysler-Plymouth owner Frank C. Videon requests planning board approval to move his auto showroom to the east side of Clyde Lane and West Chester Pike and to build a 12-bay garage and repair shop at the new site. He would use the shopping center rear lot for customer parking, prompting concerns over overbuilding and green space requirements. If no new structure is planned, a special exception would suffice.
