Call to Order/Public Comments Steven Kline called the Board meeting to order. II. Minutes of September 9, 2020 The minutes from the September 9, 2020 regular Board meeting were approved by the Board. Motion: To approve the September 9, 2020 Board minutes, by Mr. Kline, seconded by Mr. Ernst, and approved by all present. III. Public Comment None IV. Interim Update on Fort Washington Office Park Landscape / Streetscape Plan Presenter: Pattie Guttenplan, Eric Jarrell, Claire Warner, Kevin Chavous Claire Warner, Pattie Guttenplan, Eric Jarrell, and Kevin Chavous provided an update of the Fort Washington Office Park Landscape and Streetscape Plan. This is an interim update of the plan as it enters its next phase of planning. The Planning Commission staff felt this was a good point in the process where we would benefit most from the feedback and suggestions of the board. Claire Warner spoke about her work in coordination with Upper Dublin Township for the creation of this plan. The plan is intended to serve as guidance to the township on how to improve pedestrian connections within, create an identity for, and improve the appearance of the office park along the approximately 2-mile corridor from Susquehanna Road to Pennsylvania Avenue. This corridor is comprised of parts of Commerce, Delaware, and Virginia Drives. Recent efforts to modernize and revitalize the office park included the construction of the Pine Run and Rap Run dry dams which have been effective in reducing the flooding within the office park. The updated FEMA floodplain map resulted in making the Office Park more viable. Then in 2017, the Transportation Demand Management Plan proposed recommendations to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles and increase opportunities for alternative modes of transportation to the park. Other more recent efforts included a new ordinance in 2019, the Greater Fort Washington GFW Zoning District & Design Guidelines that encourages a more pedestrian oriented design and creates a more unified appearance throughout the office park. The result is to revitalize, modernize, and attract people to the office park to a live, work, play environment. The focal point of the Fort Washington Office Park will be the Library and Community Center which received a $1M grant to develop an expansive lawn and Café that will allow for community engagement opportunities. Future projects that are significant include the construction of the remaining sections of the Cross County Trail, which has been fully funded, and which parallels this corridor through the office park; and the Fort Washington Interchange zip ramp that will provide direct access to the park from the PA Turnpike. Pattie Guttenplan spoke about the development of the Fort Washington Office Park MCPC Board Minutes -2- October 14, 2020 Landscape and Streetscape Plan. The plan has two components. The first will be to develop a detailed and comprehensive landscape plan along the Cross County Trail that will include maintenance and treatment recommendations. The second will be to develop a conceptual streetscape plan that will focus on gateway treatments and will look at intersections, crosswalks, bus stops, benches, streetlights, employment centers as well as other areas within the Office Park. The area was divided into five zones based on the uses and physical constraints. Kevin Chavous provided a detailed summary of each of the five zones. He spoke about the review of each parcel in its current state. They examined the land use, any transit issues, roads, trails and how all these interact to each other. Eric Jarrell spoke about the implementation strategies that will be considered to move forward on the plan. A Municipal Authority was created which is made up of the property owners and we will help to guide them as they move forward in executing the modernization plan. There are grant opportunities where the planning commission can provide assistance. The board provided the Planning Commission staff with suggestions, strategies, and insights on how to move forward in planning for the future. V. MCPC Design Charrettes – A Lower Merion Case Study Presenter: Marley Bice, Pattie Guttenplan, Tamar Nativ, Guest: Chris Leswing, Lower Merion Township, Director of Building and Planning Pattie Guttenplan introduced Chris Leswing, Director of Building and Planning for Lower Merion who spoke about the process of updating their Zoning Code. The Lower Merion Zoning Code is lengthy and complicated and the township received several requests from residents to test the zoning code, as was done by the city of Philadelphia before the code was adopted. Mr. Leswing contacted the Planning Commission to see if this is a project that we can take on, and complete within a very short time frame. In the end, the full process from beginning to end was completed within two months, involving testing 12 sites by MCPC and outside professionals, and delivering a final MCPC memo to Lower Merion Township. Pattie Guttenplan spoke about the role of the Planning Commission in the project. She stated that we were tasked in testing the code, and leading the design charrette in order to receive public input. The Design Charrette was scheduled as a full day event with attendees who were made up of outside professionals, planning commission staff and persons familiar with the Lower Merion code. The twelve selected sites were in eight different zoning districts and many were clustered within the Ardmore downtown area. The attendees were separated into groups and examined commercial, residential and institutional sites. Before the event, the Planning Commission created a Site Profile Sheet for each of the twelve testing sites and did some preliminary testing of the sites. The groups started with a blank site plan and basic design tools to work with. The goal of the exercise was to look for ways to maximize the site, similar to what a developer is expected to do. The Lower Merion staff was on hand to answer questions and observe, but not to contribute to the design work. Marley Bice spoke in detail about the Commercial Districts findings. Lower Merion has thirteen distinct commercial areas each with its own character and scale. As a result of this exercise Lower Merion Township made several revisions to the code before it was adopted that included frontage occupation, commercial ground floor requirements, and will also follow up with master planning at some of the commercial areas. Tamar Nativ spoke about the Residential testing highlights sites. Lower Merion was concerned that the new zoning code would put a strain on the affordable housing stock and they were also concerned about the Townhouse Design Standards. Lower Merion made some revisions based on these findings, which included downzoning a site of affordable housing, adding predominant setback standards as well as a row home requirement for street facing façade. In addition, Lower Merion Township acknowledged the need for master planning in order to refine setback provisions. The Planning Commission presented these conclusions to the Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners. VI. Fiscal Year 2021 Regional TIP Update Presenter: Matthew Edmond Matthew Edmond presented a summary of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Fiscal Year 2021. The TIP is the Region’s Capital Budget for Federal and State Transportation Funds, covering highways, roads, and transit. The TIP spans a 12-year period but the first two years are the ones that are most important because it is updated every two years. This document is a budgeting tool and not a construction timetable and shows the available funding when they think it will be needed for the projects. Matthew Popek spoke about the anticipated changes to the Interstates section of the TIP which will be substantially increased for the 2032 TIP. Unfortunately we are anticipating steep reductions in NHPP Regional funding (which is used to fund arterials, collectors, and other local roads) in exchange for the increased Interstate MCPC Board Minutes -3- October 14, 2020 investments. Not only will the region have fewer resources over time to invest in local road improvements, but interstate projects are chosen by PennDOT Central Office in Harrisburg, leaving the counties with less of a say in how transportation investments will be made in our region. Mr. Edmond presented an overview of the upcoming major projects planned for Montgomery County. The longtime major projects that we have been working on include the Lafayette St. extension project, the US 422 Valley Forge project, the US 202 – 600 Dekalb Pike project and the Us 202 – 500 Markley Street project. Montgomery County is budgeted to receive $488 million in roadway investment over the first four years of the TIP and $965 million over the next 12 years, all spread over 73 projects. Mr. Edmond provided a list of the significant major projects in Montgomery County over the course of the 12-year TIP that included I-76 Integrated Corridor Management; US 422 reconstruction in Lower Pottsgrove; construction of the new standalone PennDOT Traffic Management Center; US 202 in East Norriton; improvements to Ridge Pike in Plymouth and Whitemarsh Townships; construction of the PA 309 Connector Phases 2 and 3; the new Keim Street Bridge; and the replacement of the PA 611 bridge over SEPTA’s West Trenton line in Abington.
