Office Building, Garage Proposed In Bensalem Township

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —A Feasterville company was expected before the Zoning Hearing Board Thursday night to pitch plans for a garage and office building.

AZZ Logistics LLC of 140 Graystone Dr., Feasterville-Trevose, is seeking a use variance to permit truck parking and variance for steep slopes to build a garage and office building for a contractor storage yard.

The company is being represented by Attorney Michael P. Maloy of Obermayer, Rebmann, Maxwell & Hippel LLP.

Plans reviewed by Patch state that the applicant owns the property located between 4667 Somerton Road and 2510 Metropolitan Drive.

The property is a 120,527-square-foot parcel located in a light industrial zoning district that is currently vacant land.

AZZ Logistics seeks to build a 5,000-square-foot garage and office building, according to the plans.

The garage would be used for storage and maintenance of tractor-trailers owned by the business.

The proposed parking lot would have ample space to park the tractor-trailers, without any backup
onto Somerton Road.

In order, to build this garage and office, AZZ Logistics is seeking several variances to disturb some slopes on the property.

The company also seeks a variance to permit motor vehicle trucking yard or terminal use, heavy equipment storage and/or repair facilities use, which is permitted only in the general industrial district, which abuts the property.

AZZ Logistics said the variances, if granted, would not change the character of the neighborhood, nor have an adverse impact on public health, safety, and welfare. It also would not substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent properties.
