Charter Homes is still busily working on developing the Gammache property in Manheim Township along Route 23. According to the Lancaster Newspaper article, Charter has changed their plans at least 3 times since 2003, and has just applied for two rezoning petitions for portions of the 45-acre property at the recent Manheim Township comissioner's meeting.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with next. Could it be another "Independence"?
It will be interesting to see if Manheim Township has the same reaction as Hempfield did with Charter Homes TND plans for "Independence".
The 45-acre tract was bequeathed to Lancaster Catholic High School, and has held the attention of the township for several years now. Looking back, Charter Home's original plan of 125 condos, semi detached homes and single family homes sounds pretty good right about now. This was back in 2003, though, and their plans have since changed to as many as 207 housing units and as much as 140,000 sf of commercial space.
It will be interesting to see what type of rezoning they are interested in now, especially as I watch the Townes at Richmond Square development taking
shape along Fruitville Pike between Petersburg Road and Koser Road. The shops certainly look interesting, and it will be convenient for those "bread runs" during snow emergency days that seem to be closing in on us with this blustery weather lately ~ especially since I live right down the road.
To be perfectly honest, I hope Charter Homes decide to make a large portion of whatever they are doing sectioned off for 55+ housing. It seems to be in short demand in Manheim Township, and it would be such a convenient location for that type of housing development. In the meantime, I am keeping an up close and personal eye on what is going on at Richmond Square, because I believe it would be an ideal location for my parents to downsize to. Especially since they can't find what they are looking for in close-by Brighton (plus there seem to be many more shops at Richmond Square ~ which will keep my dad *very* happy!).

Have you ever wondered where the "Flatiron" style of architecture came from?
I never really thought about it, until I read this article in the Lancaster Newspapers. According to the article, the Flatiron styled buildings are named after antique household "irons".
Yes, the bane of every housewife in the world -- whether in by-gone eras or in today's modern Rowenta world -- was the influence for this triangular style of architecture. If you click on the link to the article, you can see some excellent photos of examples.
There are a number of "flatiron" buildings in Historic Lancaster City - many of them historic warehouses as well as a few apartment buildings. I always thought they were just "triangular" shaped buildings.
Who knew?
Which makes me wonder:
Will they ever come out with a "Permanent Press" architectural style?
Wash and Wear?
I guess those with rates that are adjusting are "hanging out to dry". (bad pun ~ I admit ~ but couldn't help myself!)

I am searching for LAND or a LOT for LEASE that would allow outdoor retail sales. 
A former USED CAR LOT would be ideal!
But could be just about any land that would preferably be commercially zoned, ag zoned or industrial which would allow retail sales and outdoor displays.
This is for the display and sales of attractive outbuildings, sheds, gazebos, swingsets, etc. The location would be manned with a full time salesperson.
Anywhere along Columbia Ave, Manheim Pike (or ANY of the "Pikes") would be ideal. A paved used car lot would be ideal, but a grassy level area is acceptable. Must have adequate parking area (paved or gravel) for customers.
If you have a commercially zoned property with land or a commercial lot and could use a local well-known business as a tenant ~ please let me know!

I've just spent the better part of this evening off and on the phone negotiating a deal.
Funny thing, that even in this market this house happened to get two offers on the same day. Well, not funny for the buyers affected, and certainly not funny for us agents ~ just "funny" like ironic that after being on the market for as long as it had been, two offers come in on the same day.
It turns out that the sellers, after mulling things over and all-night long conversations between the other agent and myself, have decided to go with my buyer's offer with just a few minor changes.
What was the clincher? They seemed to "like" my buyers better, for one. Woohoo! I have to admit, I like my buyers too (that certainly helps!)
But even in this "buyers" market, it's important to keep in mind that sellers are going through an emotional time and many would like to feel some sort of connection with the buyers who are purchasing their "home". Not every seller is "desperate" and the fact that they can choose from two offers certainly puts them in an enviable position compared to so many other sellers in this market.
The letter i sent along with our offer helped. It told a bit about the buyers, what they loved about the home, what had drawn them to that area, and their future dreams of starting their own lives in the home.
* It put a face to the black-and-white pre-printed agreement of sale.
* It put a meaning behind the terms we were asking for.
* And it is putting a ratified contract in my hand.
Who can ask for more than that with just a simple letter?!
I send a letter about the buyers along with each and every offer I make ~ sometimes it's handwritten, sometimes it's typed. I have found, on more than one occassion, that it helps to seal the deal even if my buyer's offer is not the best one on the table.
Many times, it's the only offer with a "face" attached to it.
Who knew one day that my bad penmanship would come in so handy!

Don't you just love it when you hear about a private enterprise doing their part for the community?
Several weeks ago, Fox's Country Sheds provided a "shed kit" to the Warwick Middle School technology class, in the Warwick School District in Lancaster County, PA.
Warwick School District is in the midst of renovating and expanding their current middle school, and the students are surrounded by on-going construction. Their very forward-thinking technology teacher thought it would help his students understand the processes going on around them if they could somehow participate in something similar firsthand.
So, they researched what they wanted to build, and decided on a "shed kit" ~ which includes all of the components of a garden shed, but it is not pre-assembled. They even went as far as spending time on the www.FoxSheds.com website, choosing a shed style - the Carriage Shed (shown below), choosing colors, and ordering the shed right online. Of course, being the community-supporter that it is, Fox's Country Sheds gave them a great discount.
There are some great photos of the shed being built by the students on the Warwick School District website.
There is also a great article on the Warwick School District website about how much the students learned while building the shed, and what they are purchasing with the proceeds after selling the shed to a fellow teacher.
According to the article, some of the students enjoyed the construction process so much that they might be considering it as a career. Others have taken to starting their own projects at home, such as treehouses.
There were some questions along the way, and Fox's was always available to help guide them through some tricky construction spots. But, the kids did everything from putting the walls and floor together to shingling the roof, and even hanging the vinyl siding.
I think it's great that our community has such innovative and bright teachers, who are helping local students expand their horizons. Kudos to the middle school students at Warwick, and their teacher Mr. Hartmann as well as their very helpful Millersville University student teacher.
Fox's Country Sheds would be happy to assist other local organizations or municipalities with a similar project. They can be reached at www.FoxSheds.com , via email at info@foxsheds.com , or called directly at 717-626-9560.

My search for a Lancaster County Shed
Our family has been on a quest for a backyard Shed. You just can't imagine the possiblities available to a consumer in Lancaster County, when shopping for a shed that doesn't look like every other mini-barn!
In our old home on
Amity Drive in Manheim Township, we had a great wooden shed. But, many of the properties that I visit while selling Lancaster real estate that have wooden sheds all seem to be worn and in need of paint at some point. Plus, I don't think my development would allow a wood shed.
So, we've been leaning towards a vinyl shed. The thought of being able to clean out the garage of gardening tools and being able to effortlessly pull in without the fear of a rake falling on my head is pretty exciting. Now, the decision would come down to just what style of shed I prefer to get.
I always thought a shed is a shed. But I was wrong! There are the chalet styles, the cottage styles, the workshop styles. There are those that are victorian in style or offer a pretty little front porch. Then, there are the "villa" sheds. I never thought of a shed as a "villa" before I looked at these. I love the sheds with a little front porch nook, only I doubt I would be able to every keep it looking clean and inviting. After all, it's a shed! One I particularly liked was a shed and greenhouse combined. All I would have to do is fine time to garden and my seedlings would sprout in no time if I had a potting shed like the ones I've seen!
Then, I've seen matching little dog houses and wonder if my pups would like a little outdoor home that matches our new shed. I'm sure I'll be driving my husband crazy with this one, but I never realized what an important decision it could be!
As I've been driving around Lancaster County peeking into others backyards, I've realized I love the look of a crisp, new looking vinyl clad shed that matches the front of the home. I've even seen one with keystone trim on the shed windows, matching the keystone trim on the home.
Once I narrow down a style of shed I like (and that can take a while!) I'll have to narrow down where to buy this newfound obsession of mine! There are endless shed manufacturers in Lancaster County! Some of the quality is better than others. Some claim to be Amish built, but I don't think they are. Others are clearly built on-site and you can tell the quality difference between some manufacturers.
I always thought Lancaster County was probably the shed capital of the world, and now I am pretty sure it is! If anyone has a favorite shed manufacturer in Lancaster, please feel free to let me know who it is, and why!
I miss my old shed at our old home, but I certainly don't miss the groundhog that lived beneath it. If anyone has any tips for keeping groundhogs away from my new shed (once I decide on one!) I'd appreciate your sharing those tips!
This was a very rambling post (probably too much caffeine today) but I won't "shed" any tears over it!
-----
edited to add that I have found the
PERFECT shed at
Fox's Country Sheds -- www.foxsheds.com -- just a mile or so east of Brickerville on Route 322 in Lititz! If you are in the market for a garden shed, a workshop or storage shed, or even a custom built garage - they have everything either in stock or can custom build for you according to your needs. Highly recommended!

I've been settling into the Long & Foster office and trying to conduct business while still upacking from my recent Prudential Homesale Services move. It's funny how it takes just a day or so to pack up almost a decade's worth of office stuff, yet it takes almost a week (and probably more) to unpack. We're still finding stuff that we really don't need ~ and for some reason were compelled to bring with us. Yet, there are other things ~ files, forms, marketing material ~ that we need, yet can't find. Where in the world did we put those Merchandiser advertising rate sheets?
We learned today that our personal little coffee machine was flipping the circuit breakers ~ not good! We'll have to find somewhere else to put that cute little Senseo that I have become very addicted to. It's funny, but it's been working fine up to now. And all of the sudden, today we kept tripping the breakers. For some reason it is *really* cold in our private office, and a hot cup of java is just what we need to keep us going!
I FINALLY learned (somewhat) how to use the phone system today. And I've got the copy machine mastered to some degree (okay, not "mastered" but I can make copies). We had the "official" office tour and orientation, and I couldn't help but feel like I was on a class trip or something, following the guide and paying close attention in case there is a pop quiz later on in the day.
And, in case of rain, I have my new handy dandy Long & Foster bright red umbrella that my partner Bob Wells so generously purchased for all of us. What a nice surprise! So, if anyone out there is thinking of cancelling any of our scheduled showings because of rain in the forecast, no need to worry! I will keep you dry AND find you the home of your dreams!
And, slowly, my previous listings are being transferred over to me at the new broker on the MLS. This has taken longer than I would have liked, although I don't think the hold up is either at our end or my previous office affiliation, yet is somehow taking more time at the local association level. They must be busy with all this movin' and shakin' that's been going on!
The best part of the move so far is that my new Lititz listing is getting attention, and I think I've just about wrapped up an offer ~ not bad for my first week at the new "digs"!
Today was a busy day all around with regards to real estate in Lancaster County, but we can never be too busy to forget about the importance of community service. This marked the day that our Long & Foster Lancaster office took part in it's community service day by organizing a blood drive. I must admit, that I haven't donated blood in several years, but can certainly understand how important it is to do so. I didn't realize, though, what a fine-tuned machine these Red Cross of the Susquehanna Valley volunteers run!
After checking in, reviewing the documents regarding who can and can't donate (be careful if you are on certain prescription drugs and review your medical history carefully) and answering some highly personal questions, I waited around until it was my turn. I admit, it took a bit longer than I had expected, and I was worried that I would be late for an appointment. Luckily for me, my clients were understanding after my partner Rick Brown explained to them that I was *a bit tied* up and would be meeting them in the reception lobby as soon as possible.
After being called for my turn, I tried to NOT be nervous about it. I was, I have to admit, but it was really only slightly uncomfortable and not painful at all. Apparently, I have slow moving blood, but I did finally fulfill my share of the donation. I even tried taking a little power nap while I was laying on the very comfy cots they had set up. When all was said and done, I was escorted to the yummy snack table to rest, gather myself, and enjoy some delicious cookies and refreshments.
Bandaged up, I headed upstairs to meet my clients and go on with the day. I do admit, a few hours later I started to feel a bit lightheaded, but nothing that I couldn't handle and that a smokehouse burger from Ruby Tuesday's didn't fix (Yes, I convinced my hubby to have dinner out tonight).
Yes, we all give a little bit of ourselves to everyone we meet throughout the day. Everyone seems to pull us in all different directions, whether it is family, clients, our children and sometimes even strangers. Sometimes it exhausts us. Other times it leaves us feeling exhilirated. Today I can truly say that "i gave at the office", and I hope it does someone a world of good. Please consider donating blood and giving the precious gift of life.
For more information about the Red Cross, contact the Susquehanna Valley Chapter at (717) 299-5561 or (717) 234-3101.
Click here for more information about donating blood - the gift of life or call 1-800-GIVE LIFE to find out about a Red Cross blood drive near you.
From the Red Cross website:
Most people expect blood to be available, but barely a fraction of those who can give do. Yet sooner or later, most Americans will face a time when blood will be needed. And that time is all too often unexpected. Join with the American Red Cross to build a healthy blood supply and save lives
Not sure why you need to donate blood? Here are the Top Ten Reasons why YOU should, according to the Red Cross:
 |
You will get free juice and cookies. |
 |
You will weigh less — one pint less when you leave than when you came in. |
 |
It's easy and convenient — it only takes about an hour and you can make the donation at a donor center, or at one of the many Red Cross mobile blood drives. |
 |
It's something you can spare — most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around. |
 |
Nobody can ask you to do any heavy lifting as long as you have the bandage on. You can wear it for as long as you like. It's your badge of honor. |
 |
You will walk a little taller afterwards — you will feel good about yourself. |
 |
You will be helping to ensure that blood is there when you or someone close to you may need it. Most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do. |
 |
It's something you can do on equal footing with the rich and famous — blood is something money can't buy. Only something one person can give to another. |
 |
You will be someone's hero — you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help save up to three lives with just one donation. |
 |
It's the right thing to do.

Now, as a disclosure, I would like to add that this home is my parents' home. The decision to downsize has taken them months -- perhaps even years. They have finally made the decision after my father had a health scarel last year and my mother just recently was diagnosed with neuropathy. The home is ideal for them, with few stairs, but the property is just too large for them to care for. I blogged about what an emotional toll the thought of downsizing has been on not only them - but on me as well - in my post An Emotional Rollercoaster for all... I'd love for anyone interested in this home to read that post, and realize what a special home this was, and still is. Now that my parents have made the decision to sell, I truly hope that the new prospective buyers can picture themselves here as well, having their Easter Egg hunts in the yard, waiting for the school bus to stop at the corner, and enjoying many healthy and happy years here while making their own lifetime memories. If YOU are that person, this home is waiting for you... |
