Council waives 1,337 square feet of sidewalk requirement for Reclamation Church
Summary
Council granted a waiver releasing Reclamation Church from installing 1,337 square feet of sidewalk along Saint Martin's Drive and approved the applicant’s fee‑in‑lieu process, consistent with other sidewalk waivers approved this meeting.
Monroeville Borough Council approved a resolution Tuesday waiving a sidewalk installation requirement for Reclamation Church along Saint Martin's Drive and authorizing the applicant to pay a fee in lieu of construction.
The resolution cites ordinance 10‑16 and ordinance 2‑235 (as referenced on the agenda) and releases the church from installing 1,337 square feet of sidewalk as required by the zoning or subdivision standards. Council approved the waiver on a unanimous roll call.
Why it matters: The waiver follows the borough’s existing sidewalk policy that allows installation waivers where sidewalks are impractical and requires payment to a sidewalk fund based on a standard per‑square‑foot calculation. The funds are placed into a municipal sidewalk fund for future construction where sidewalks are determined to be appropriate.
Next steps: The applicant will pay the fee determined under borough rules and the community development director will record the waiver action.
