Project Description
Developed as a design/build project with Ephrata based general
contractor, Ames Construction, the C K Sportswear facility
was built on an undeveloped tract of land located in a small
industrial complex in Ephrata Township, Lancaster County.
The 2.73-acre lot was subdivided from lands of the adjoining
Ames Construction facility and became the home to C K Sportswear,
an existing Ephrata based producer of athletic clothing and
apparel in 2001.
Along with a 15,000 square foot building, including office,
manufacturing, and loading/shipping areas, project development
included realignment and new construction of approximately
425-feet of new street (private), access improvements at
the intersection of State Route 322 (SR 322), a 40-space
parking area, loading are and loading dock, utility services,
as well as storm water improvements and detention facilities.
Other improvements included site lighting as well as landscape
improvements required to meet local codes.
Services Rendered
Working with Ames Construction,
ELA Group produced a series of preliminary site development
options for C K Sportswear’s consideration in terms of
space utilization and budget. Upon selection of a final design,
ELA prepared documents and exhibits required for zoning approvals
and represented the project through the zoning hearing process.
Final design services included development of site construction
drawings, storm water management design and approval, erosion
and sedimentation design and permitting, and both preliminary
and final land development processing through the local municipality.
The project also included roadway intersection improvements,
requiring PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permitting and preparation
of an abbreviated traffic impact study. The zoning process
was initiated in October 1999 with final approvals to permit
construction of the project being obtained by August 2000.
