Proposed Wawa On Rt. 313 Up For Consideration Wednesday

A proposal to put a Wawa at the intersection of Ferry Road and Rt. 313 will be up for consideration Wednesday in Plumstead Township. The Plumstead Township Zoning Hearing Board will review the plans at a meeting starting at 7:30 p.m.

According to a report by The Intelligencer, the proposal calls for a Wawa convenience store and gas station to be build on a 3.75-acre, commercially-zoned lot at Ferry Road and Route 313.

The applicant is seeking permission to erect a canopy over the gas pumps that exceeds the current height limit, as well as a reduction in buffer surrounding the site, The Intelligencer reports. A 5,000-square-foot retail or office building is also reportedly part of the plans.

This will be the third proposal for a Wawa at that corner in as many years, according to The Intelligencer.

Wednesday's meeting will be held at the Plumstead municipal building, 5186 Stump Road.
