Executive Summary
The project site is approximately 427+/- acres located along Westminster Road between the intersections of Westminster Road and Interstate 81 and Westminster Road and Jumper Road. The municipal boundary of Jenkins Township and Plains Township runs through the property with approximately 145 acres of the property in Plains Township and 295 acres of the property in Jenkins Township. Access to the site will be available using SR – 2039 “Westminster Road”. Two access points
are available along Westminster Road between the intersections of Jumper Road and SR-315 as shown in the Schematic Site Plan. There is a 24” high pressure natural gas line owned by Williams that runs through the property. The gas line has a 50 foot right of way. No machine excavation will be performed within 24” of Williams pipelines or related facilities. Each proposed development or activity requires a site specific evaluation by a qualified Williams representative. No above ground structures are permitted within the Williams Right-of- way. All utility lines crossing the Right-of-way must do so at a ninety (90) degree angle. Buried telephone, TV, data transmission, fiber optic, and power lines must be encased in steel. Williams has provided their “Williams Requirements for Landowner & Third Party Construction” outlining the restrictions for building near the pipeline. A copy of the “Williams Requirements for Landowner & Third Party Construction” is included in the Appendix B of this report. There is an electric transmission line that runs parallel to the western boundary of the site. The electric transmission line does not pose any real restriction to development of the site as it is in close proximity
to the western property line. Strip and deep mining operations were performed on the site in the past. A geotechnical study should be performed on the site to identify any existing soil or geological limitations.

Description
This information was supplied from a 2018 feasible ability study by a well-known engineering firm in Wilkes-Barre DEVELOPABLE AREA Within the 427 +/- acre site, there are eight possible developable areas: Development Area 1 is approximately 35 acres located in the northwest portion of the site. All utilities will need to be extended approximately 1210 feet from the access driveway entrance on the Northern side of the site. There is approximately 3.4 acres that are shown with over 25% slopes within the development area. These areas shown will need to be leveled. Development Area 2 is approximately 5 acres located in the center of the site. All utilities will need to be extended approximately 1740 feet from the access driveway entrance on the Northern side of the site. There is approximately 0.7 acres that are shown with over 25% slopes within the development area. These areas shown will need to be leveled. Development Area 3 is approximately 15 acres located in the center of the site. All utilities will need to be extended approximately 2070 feet from the access driveway entrance on the Northern side of the site. There is approximately 1.6 acres that are shown with over 25% slopes within the development area. These areas shown will need to be leveled. Development Area 4 is approximately 28 acres located in the west corner of the site.

There is approximately 1.7 acres that are shown with over 25% slopes within the development area. These areas shown will need to be leveled. Development Area 8 is approximately 8 acres located southeast of the site. An easement will be required for access to this site due to the parcels being separated by a parcel with a different owner. There is approximately 0.8 acres that are shown with over 25% slopes within the development area. These areas shown will need to be leveled. Each of the developable areas will be accessible via the access road shown on the plan. Due to the topographical features of the site a constraint for this site is the amount of earthwork that will need to be performed. The proposed 26 feet wide, paved access road is approximately 6,860 feet in length with entrances along Westminster Road in the northern and eastern sides of the site. The access road provides access to all development areas on the property. Owner New information: In 2022/23 the William Gas company finished a new pipe line through the property, consisting of a mile run adjacent to the old transcontinental pipeline. Williams pipeline supplied six crossovers when they built the pipeline that were placed in strategic areas along the mile pipeline. PPL ELECTRIC COMPANY SUPPLY LINE RUNS ALONG 81, WHICH IS ON THE PROPERTY- PPL as a permanent easement to maintain their electric line. The location of the property between the Wilkes-Barre interstate 81 exit and the Pittston 81 interstate exit puts it in the center of too busy exits. The opportunity of the property is endless as long as the purchaser can get permits from both Jenkins and Plains township.
