The long-awaited zoning decision regarding Camel’s Hump Farm’s request for a variance for an environmental education/childcare center was delayed again Sept. 25, as some board members couldn’t be present.

The board did, however, grant a number of other requests, beginning with a request by Lehigh University for a variance to place bus shelters at 5 E. Packer Ave. and at 1 W. Packer Ave.

Next, Muhlenberg Realty Company and Lehigh Valley Health Network requested large electric signs be allowed on their health campus along Schoenersville Road. Electronic signs were not permitted when the campus last placed signs in 2001.

The purpose of the new signs would be to make the campus easier for visitors to locate and navigate. The board approved the request, with the condition that the signs only be used to advertise the services and events taking place on the campus, and possibly public service messages such as Amber Alerts.

In other business, Dominic Villani spoke for 565 W Lehigh Partners, LLC., requesting a dimensional variance for the area of the lot at 1458 Main St. to accommodate the building of a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home on the lot.

Villani presented diagrams and an artist’s rendering of the design of the home. Neighbors expressed concern about frequent accidents near the property, and the proposed driveway of the property taking away current street parking. The board approved the variance after a short executive session.
