Mohammed Rafiuzzaman was seeking a variance to allow seven apartments in the building, but he didn't meet the parking requirements. The board allowed expansion of the non-conforming use
A Lansdale business owner wanted to build seven apartments inside the former Fifth Street Pub — gutting the downstairs bar area. After Tuesday’s zoning hearing board, what he got was four. The site at West Fifth Street and Towamencin Avenue presents an issue: it is a non-conforming use in the C-Residential zoning district. Apartments are not permitted by right in that district. The building had been used and allowed to operate as a boarding house and pub for a number of years, and its existence dates to before the incorporation of the borough zoning code. In order for owner Mohammed Rafiuzzaman to add more apartments, the zoning hearing board had to grant a variance for the continuance of and the expansion of the non-conforming use within …

The former Fifth Street Pub in Lansdale goes up for auction June 11. Tranzon Alderfer auctions opened the building for public inspection on Monday
The stench of stale cigarettes clinged to everything in the interior of the Fifth Street Pub in Lansdale. Jason Yoder, sales associate for Tranzon Alderfer, opened the building for inspection by potential bidders on Monday. Bidders were able to walk the interior and exterior of the property in preparation for the June 11 auction. The auction does not include a liquor license. The inside of the business looked like some odd Chernobyl ghost town. Four glass tumblers stood on the bartop, alongside a pack of Pall Malls and a Comcast remote. The cash register was still there, as were the flat-screen TVs, a foosball table and a half-full bottle of Goldschlager. The "Fifth Street Pub Take Out Pricing" wall was still intact. The same couldn't be …

A Hatfield man was arrested late Friday morning following a standoff at Brookside Manor Apartments on Line Street.

Mr. Willi -- interesting question. My understanding is that no one from the public spoke out against this project moving forward? Would be interesting to hear what agenda Mr. Work and Mr. Brown are serving in being against something that will have such an incredible positive impact on our town. Sadly, has to be political. You would think that Mr. Work would have addressed that since he is running… more ›
