The example on the right is a local warehouse near Quakertown. Notice the Earthen bank completely and effectively shields neighboring uses from the loading docks, trucks and the monstrous barren super box wall.

Contrast this vs. warehouses in our township where the street view remains dominated by loading docks, tractor trailers, vast parking lots and the wall. Here in LMT neighbors have to deal with truck idling, backup alarms and down shifting 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If our elected leadership is continuing a policy of committing us  “all in” on warehouses then we need to beef up our landscaping and screening requirements accordingly if vast tracts of farmland are to be plowed over and paved, and our landscape is to be dominated by these superboxes.
