Planning panel backs revised permit for Saint Pius X church move
Planning Director says concerns exist over a condition requiring the applicant to pave trailer parking at its cost. The staff recommends limiting overflow trailer parking to Family Dollar and county fair ground vehicles, restricting access via Winners Court, hard-surfacing lots, screening trailers from nearby homes, banning inoperable vehicles, and prohibiting parking on drain fields. They seek no more than 70 trailers on site. Separately, the board urged approval of a conditional-use permit for Saint Pius X at 2203 Reliance Road Middletown to move services from Linden and convert part of a barn on the adjacent 10 acre parcel for worship till a permanent church is funded.
