770 Jenkintown Rd
The
Florist and greenhouses are in the R4 single family
home neighborhood It consisted of a single house and
multiple greenhouses and small buildings .
Find
out exactly how many properties are there Find out what the
current non-conforming zoning use is - how is it worded
All were
bought 7-15-19 by Dreck Properties, Ltd

Dreck filed a Declaration at hte County and with it
created 13 Parcels from the one
The Zoning Use Designation at the County is now : C- Common Element - Commercial
Condo
This was not a rezoning . It was done by Declaration using the
the " Uniform Planned Community Act", found here :
https://www.legis.state.pa.us/wu01/li/li/ct/htm/68/00.051..htm
I was told the document had just the owners signature ( Dreck
Properties ) and his attorney's signature - (Marshall Granor)
It is unclear at this time if they are REQUIRED to file
anything with the Township when they do this . The Township
needs to know for enforcement purposes what the zoning is - so I
can't imagine they would no
Find
out Abington regulations
One neighbor happened to see the County Records and
noticed that instead of one parcel there were 13 . No
neighbors had been notified of any changes - even if they
are directly contiguous, Commissioner DiPlacido knew
nothing about it - and a month and a half later still had no
answers.
Here is how a single property ended up looking like this
on the County records:
![770JenkRd-13Parcels](770JenkRd-Parcels.jpg)
Some language in the
" Uniform Planned Community Act" that gives us to know
that conversion would be possible for the units created by
"declaration under the Uniform Planned Community Act. Before any
rezoning - using the old zoning which was R4 residential but
included a non-conforming use for the business and greenhouses,
they would have to "fix any non-conformities" before developing
further. I am concerned that if these parcels are already
divided - and then a "mixed residential " zoning overly is
bestowed upon them, that they could then convert their 13 units
inthe manner allowed under the Uniform Planned Community Act. Have
not had time to read through the whole Uniform Planned
Community Act yet - help is needed .

Where is 770 Jenkintown Rd?
On the map above find the triangle shape to see where Township
line goes off the page. That area highlighted below - the x is
the property. So it is in the grey area slated to be
"revisioned" for residential uses --
without the knowledge or input of the residents who OWN the
property and want their zoning laws upheld. ( note :The 1/2 mile
grey circles in march became 1/4 mi solid blue line circles ) .

Here is an overhead view

Here are the basic statistics found at the County for the main parcel
Help is needed looking up the plot
plan that shows the 13 divisions

Knowledge is power. Stay informed to help shape your community and make a difference.
Abington Township, with John Spiegelman in charge, revamped the entire Township website at the end of 2015
and broke all the links to the information we had archived on this site for you.
In 2017, Manager Richard Manfredi arrived and assigned someone not qualified to redo the entire website again.
They not only broke all archived links we had reinstated, but made everything as impossible to find as they could.
Nearly all of our comments and recommedations to fix the Township website have been wholly ignored.
So we do need volunteers to work together helping the Township create a site that is functional and accessible.
We will be reinstating links as we find them....if the data is still available.
So... please let us know if you find a broken link. Send us the URL of the link
and the name of the page it is on, and if we can, we'll reinstate it.
Thanks for the help.
