Following the Salute to the Flag, a motion was made by Mr. Skellie, seconded by Mr. Sitter, and carried that the Minutes of the Meeting of May 2, 2023, be approved.
The following Subdivision Land Developments were heard:
SUBDIVISION PLAN FOR THE DIETZ & MARTIN PROPERTY. Small Subdivision Plan. A subdivision plan to show the creation of a 2.464-acre parcel, Parcel "C", from tax parcel ID (33) 151-641-1, creating a 24.781-acre residual lot, along the east line of Henderson Road, south of the railroad tracks, in Tract 338. Index 913-086
Mike Sanford, 4721 Atlantic Avenue, spoke on behalf of this petition. The owners would like to subdivide the u-shaped property with two different frontages on Henderson Road. They would like to subdivide the northern portion off and create a stand-alone lot. He was aware that two modifications would be required which were due to the limited frontage of the northern piece that would be subdivided and a depth-to-width ration.

Requirement:
LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR DICK'S HOUSE OF SPORT. Land Development Plan. A land development plan to show the construction of a 20,655 square foot outdoor track and field facility located at the south portion of the Millcreek Mall (tax parcel ID 33-167-667.0-046.05), along the west line of Peach Street, south of Kuntz Road, in Tract 347. Index 750-020
Michael Takacs, Bohler Engineering, 1 Allegheny Square spoke on behalf of this petition. He stated this project was a redevelopment of former Bon-Ton store at the Millcreek Mall which Dick's Sporting Goods will relocate to. He indicated where the location of the field would be on the property. Also, this development would be one level inside the Millcreek Mall with a 20,000 square foot exterior field area which would include turf and a running track surface around it. This would be the 1st of its kind to house the field for a small store. Usually, they are much larger stores. It would be the 4th one that Dick's Sporting Goods would have. He then explained the proposed plan would have an artificial turf field with stone and drainage which would help with the impervious and make it into a greener perspective. In the winter, they would provide an outdoor ice rink. They would have exterior lighting, seating with grandstands, scoreboard, netting, and an enclosure of the field of 30' in height. He provided images from the Tennessee, New York, and Minnesota facilities.
Mr. Sitter what the size comparison of facility was Erie as to the New York facility. He also commended them on the ice rink for the winter.
Brian Thomas, Dick's Sporting Goods, replied that Erie has more square footage than the New York facility.
Mr. Skellie informed Mr. Takacs that the square footage was needed for the existing building on the Mylar as well as the location and/or distance to the nearest fire hydrant.
