At their December 7, 2010 meeting, Sewickley Borough’s Zoning Hearing Board unanimously granted variances for the Quaker Valley Middle School renovation project. In September, the district applied for variances as part of the land development and additions to the Quaker Valley Middle School.
The board’s decision permits 76 parking spaces on the middle school site (a net increase of 40 spaces results from repurposed district office parking plus additional spaces planned) and an increase in the width of the school driveway on Harbaugh and Graham Streets. (District office personnel no longer occupy the building.) The board approved the variances in accordance with the exhibits, drawings and detailed information as presented by the school district.
“We are pleased the zoning board granted the variances. The requested variances reflected our desire to increase on site parking in order to reduce neighborhood street parking and to widen the driveways for the safety of buses, trucks, and emergency vehicles entering and exiting the middle school property,” said Dr. Joseph H. Clapper, Superintendent.
The decision by the zoning board will be submitted to the Sewickley Borough Council for their final approval on the middle school project. The next meeting of Sewickley Borough Council is set for 7:00 PM December 20, 2010.
