Chadds Ford Township supervisors scheduled two hearings for Sept. 1 before the start of the regularly scheduled meeting that night.
At 5:45 p.m. will be a hearing for “minor” changes to several ordinances, according to Township Manager Joe Barakat. At 6 p.m. there will be a continuation of a conditional use hearing for Brandywine Coach Works. That hearing was opened Wednesday, Aug. 4.
Brandywine Coach Works is an auto body repair company that plans to move into the former Family Chrysler dealership on Route 1, just south of Route 202.
No specific details of use were brought up during the Aug. 4 session, but in April, during a Planning Commission meeting, owner Dave Schultz said he wanted to operate the site as a regular auto body repair shop with the possibility of allowing a rental agency to rent autos to customers whose cars were in for repairs.
Brief testimony was given regarding on-site sewage and stormwater management.
Engineer Jim Fritsch said the existing on-site sewage was adequate. Stormwater management would be improved, he said, because an impervious gravel area behind the existing building would be returned to a grassy state.
The applicant plans to put an addition onto the existing building.
