New Plan for Former Lincoln Fire Company Property

Back in December of 2018, Whitemarsh’s Zoning Hearing Board denied an application to build three townhouse on the site of the former Lincoln Fire Company at 252 Roberts Avenue in Conshohocken (Whitemarsh Township).

There is now a new application that seeks to subdivide the property and construct two single-family homes (one on each lot). There will be a hearing for the new proposal on Wednesday, March 13th at 7:00 p.m. at the Whitemarsh Township building.

Below is the notice:

The Applicant is proposing to raze the existing building (former Lincoln Fire Company) and then subdivide the property into two equallysized lots and build one single-family detached home on each lot.
