Heatherfield Commercial Project Still in Flux

The builder, Richard Koze/Kay Builders, delayed their presentation to the Upper Macungie Planning Commission last week. The project, featuring retail space, offices and a personal care facility, has been scaled back.

Representatives from Richard Koze/Kay Builders of Wescosville delayed their scheduled appearance to present a land development plan to the Upper Macungie Planning Commission last week. Township records indicate that the builders propose to develop their property on on southeast corner of Blue Barn Road and Oak View Drive for two uses. The first is a two-story 12,600 square foot building with retail space on the first floor and office space on the second floor. The second is a proposed 39,426 square foot personal care facility. Original plans, first presented in November, called for a two-story, 30,000-square-foot office building and a two-and-a-half story, 62,000 square feet building that would house an assisted living facility with a …

Care Center Can Be 40-Feet High, Zoners Say

Developers for the proposed personal care facility at the southeast corner of Blue Barn Road and Oak View Drive received the variance from the Upper Macungie Zoning Hearing Board last month.

The Upper Macungie Zoning Hearing board granted a height variance to Richard Koze/Kay Builders on Feb. 27 concerning a proposed personal care facility. The appeal of the Wescosville-based company revolved around a property at Blue Barn Road and Oak View Drive. The builders proposed a maximum building height of 40 feet 7 inches. That exceeds the township's maximum building height of 35 feet. The request was amended to permit a building height of 38 feet, 6 inches, which was approved by the board. The developers appeared before township planners in November 2012. A two-and-a-half story building, at 62,000 square feet, would house an assisted living facility with a memory care unit. Another two-story, 30,000-square-foot office building would …

Of course it was approved. That area needs improvement, but not as much as Tilghman and Blue Barn. MOTEL, GET RID OF IT. Here comes more traffic on Blue Barn to go along with Schantz. Sad, this board is not going to be here in 30 years when UMT looks like center city Allentown. They are ALL going to move out here and destroy our community and the property values. Sad.   more ›

Retail, Office Space and Assisted Living Facility Proposed for Blue Barn Road

Heatherfield Commercial is proposing two new buildings at Blue Barn Road and Oakview Drive in Upper Macungie.

  Heatherfield Commercial is hoping to build an office building with retail space, as well as an assisted living facility and memory care unit, at Blue Barn Road and Oakview Drive in Upper Macungie. Rick Koze, owner of Kay Builders, presented a sketch plan in October to the Upper Macungie Planners to get feedback. Kay Builders would be the general contractor on the project. The plan calls for a two-story, 30,000-square-foot office building that would house Kay Builders and a new Design Center on the upper floor, Koze said. There would be additional space for other offices, such as for a dentist or lawyer. On the first-floor retail level, Koze envisions businesses that would provide services to the community, such as a hair salon or …
