July 9, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting
Published: Jul 9, 2026
White Marsh Community Ambulance Association Honored for 70 Years of Service
The White Marsh Township Board of Supervisors formally recognized and celebrated the 70th anniversary of the White Marsh Community Ambulance Association. The proclamation highlighted the association's 70 years of dedicated service, its evolution into a modern medical organization, its provision of life-saving care, and the commitment of its members. A supervisor shared a personal anecdote about the ambulance association's crucial role in a family medical emergency.
Roberts Avenue Triplex Development Decision Tabled Amidst Resident Concerns and Waiver Requests
The Board of Supervisors considered a minor land development application for 2011 Roberts Avenue, seeking to replace a greenhouse, forest, and residence with a three-unit multifamily building (triplex). This application required numerous waivers from subdivision and land development ordinances due to the small lot size and the nature of the proposed development. The applicant presented arguments for each waiver, highlighting improvements in sight distance, reduced building coverage compared to the existing footprint, and proposed amenities such as blacktopping the alley and adding landscaping. Numerous residents expressed concerns about traffic, safety, parking, density, neighborhood character, stormwater runoff, and utility infrastructure. The Board ultimately tabled the decision to allow for further review and potential discussion between the applicant and residents. Additionally, the matter involved a lengthy discussion regarding the process of zoning and planning board reviews, public notification procedures, and the ownership and maintenance of private alleys.
Road Program Awarded; Parking Restrictions Considered Amidst Safety Concerns
The Board considered a motion to authorize the award for the 2026 road program to Nabaneseio Contractors, Inc. for $952,500. This project includes ADA ramps, resurfacing of certain roads, and striping/pavement markings. A separate motion was made to authorize advertisement for an ordinance establishing parking restrictions during school hours on Marble Lane and Indian Guide Road to address resident complaints about student parking. Public comment expressed concerns that this would shift parking problems and create safety hazards on adjacent streets.
Residents Voice Concerns Over Existing Sewer Issues Amidst Proposed Roberts Avenue Development
During public comment regarding the 2011 Roberts Avenue development, residents raised concerns about existing sewer line issues in the neighborhood, specifically mentioning instances of basements flooding. They questioned the potential impact of adding a three-unit dwelling with nine bedrooms on the already strained sewer system.
Proposed Parking Restrictions on Marble Lane and Indian Guide Road to Address Student Parking Issues
The Board of Supervisors considered authorizing the advertisement for an ordinance to establish parking restrictions on Marble Lane and Indian Guide Road during school hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). This measure aims to address complaints from residents about students parking in front of their homes. The recommendation, stemming from a traffic safety unit study, suggests a two-hour parking limit. Public comment raised concerns that this would simply shift the parking problem to Fairway Road, creating new safety hazards due to limited visibility on a curve and increased cut-through traffic. Suggestions were made to address the issue directly with the school district regarding parking lot usage.
