Chadds Ford Township, during their April 7 meeting, approved
a request for the selling of used cars at the former Getty station on Route 202
and Dilworthtown Road.
The site is now owned by Jack Heilman, the owner of the
recently closed Sunoco gas station at routes 1 and 202. Heilman bought the site
last year and has been using it as an auto repair shop. He went through a
conditional use hearing to get permission to also sell used cars.
There are a series of conditions that must be met for
compliance. They include no more than 12 cars be for sale on the lot at any
given time and that signage shall be limited. One sale sign may be hung from
each rear view mirror and one sign indicating a “Certified Vehicle” be placed
on the windshield.
The resolution also says, “No banners, wind vanes,
streamers, or other similar advertising devices shall be placed in or on the
subject property, for the sale of or offering for sale of, pre-owned vehicles.”
Other business
• The board also approved a conditional use request for
Verizon Wireless to put up a cellular communications antenna on a PECO
transmission line tower off of Ring Road.
Verizon offered testimony that the antenna is needed to fill
gaps in Verizon’s coverage along Route 1 in Chadds Ford Township.
• Four township roads are on this year’s road program list.
They include High Ridge Road and part of Hilloch Lane. Streets on an optional
list are parts of Hunter’s Lane
and carriage Path Lane.
