Where did you park?

Could we finally see a resolution to the Whip's parking problems?
The Springdell tavern has become hugely popular, but because of its small parking lot, latecomers are forced to choose between double-parking (you can leave your car keys with the staff), risking a ticket by parking along the roadside or on the grass across the street -- or turning around and going back home.
The West Marlborough supervisors are considering a zoning amendment that would allow parking to be located on a separate lot from the principal use in the township's Village-Residential zones (Springdell and London Grove village). The logic, according to the proposed amendment, is that many of the lots in the zone "do not meet the minimum lot area requirement thereby resulting in principal uses on lots that do not have adequate space for the use." (That would certainly seem to be the case here.)
The parking lot has to be within 150 feet of the main property, 500 feet if there's "a continuous off-street path, sidewalk or accessway that directly connects with the principal use."
Allowing parking on a separate lot "will allow for these principal uses and any nonconforming uses to exist and operate in a manner that reduces traffic congestion and safety concerns related to the parking of vehicles along the street."
The ordinance includes regulations on the off-site uses in terms of size, lighting and signage.
The proposed amendment will be reviewed by both the township planning commission and the Chester County planning commission, and a public hearing will be held Monday, July 30.
