Council approves final plan for Bellefonte replot of lots, contingent on county review and legal description for small Dunlap Street vacate

Bellefonte Borough Council on May 20 approved the final plan to replot Lot 1 Tracks 1 and 2, Lot 2 Tracks 1–3, and Lot 3 (Plat Book 95, Page 30) into Lot 1R and Lot 2R, contingent upon the plans being modified per the Centre County Planning Office review and the developer providing a legal description of a small portion of Dunlap Street to be vacated.

Council voted to approve the final plan with the contingency after staff clarified that the legal description of the portion of Dunlap Street would be provided to council in a forthcoming packet, likely at the June meeting. Planning staff (Gina) told council that the developer, Pentaira, had not yet provided that legal description but the approval could be made contingent on receipt of the description.

Council members asked whether vacating the listed portion of Dunlap Street would remove a through road; staff clarified that vacating the small portion would not eliminate a road completely and that a road would remain through the site as part of the development. Planning staff also noted that associated land‑development items remain under review and that a few outstanding items must be resolved before definitive land‑development approval.

The motion to approve was moved and seconded; a roll‑call vote recorded unanimous approval from members present. The approval is contingent on plan edits per county review and submittal of the legal description; council did not authorize work to begin until outstanding planning‑approval items are completed.
