WAYNESBORO, Pa. — The Waynesboro Planning Commission took a look Monday at land-development plans for the soon-to-be-rebuilt Joe Stickell American Legion Post 15 headquarters, although some of the planners’ considerations were from a neighbor’s viewpoint.
A December 2017 fire destroyed the legion post’s earlier structure at 63 E. Main St.
The post’s leadership plans to rebuild on the lot, which is adjacent to Waynesboro Borough Hall.
The planning commission raised questions about stormwater possibly damaging a brick walkway between the two buildings and the foundation of Borough Hall.
“We can have a discussion with the legion to find out what their position is. In the meantime, I can do some pricing to find out what the (approximate) cost is going to be,” Ray Harbaugh of Callas Contractors said of options for stormwater discharge.
One idea that emerged from the planning commission meeting was sending 60 percent of the stormwater onto East Main Street and 40 percent of it to the alley behind the buildings.
The planning commission is an advisory body that makes recommendations to the Waynesboro Borough Council, which meets Feb. 20. The planners agreed to recommend that the council approve the plan.
Kevin Grubbs, the borough’s director engineering, suggested methods of diffusing stormwater through inlets, pipes and other systems.
“If you slow that water down ... you’ve done your part,” he said.
