Athletic Field Feasibility Study
• Discuss approval and permitting requirements
• Examine 3 potential sites for baseball/softball/multi-purpose use
• Provide options, costs and timelines
• Determine next steps for further refinement
Approval and Permitting Requirements
• All ballfields exceed 1 acre in disturbance for construction requiring an
NPDES permit from the Bucks County Conservation District
• Ballfields and structures may require Township/Borough land development
approvals
• Building structures require Township/Borough building code review
• Ballfields are most commonly designed and publicly bid or delivered
through a competitive State Contract procurement process
… the design, approval and procurement process takes time. This effort, unfortunately does not permit a Summer 2021 construction timeline.
