Commission recommends sewage planning exemption and conditional approval for Joseph Stiles subdivision
Summary
The commission recommended approval to the board of supervisors for a Joseph Stiles one‑lot subdivision and a DEP short‑form sewage planning exemption, conditioned on owner signatures; staff reported SEO signoff and recommended supervisors sign the module and final documents.
Huntington Township planning commissioners on June 23 recommended that the board of supervisors approve a one‑lot subdivision for Joseph Stiles and a DEP short‑form sewage planning exemption (exemption module). Staff said the SEO had reviewed and signed the planning module and advised that supervisors will sign the final form for recording.
Why it matters: The subdivision divides roughly a five‑acre parcel into two lots, with a new septic area situated on a narrow portion of Lot 1 because suitable soils were not available on the main lot area. The short‑form DEP module (sewage planning exemption) and related conditions were reviewed and staff recommended the board of supervisors sign the form.
Details - Layout and constraints: The parcel will be subdivided into approximately 2.2 acres (new lot) and a roughly 2.8‑acre residue. The proposed new dwelling on Lot 2 will require a new septic system; staff said suitable soils were identified for that system in a flag/neck area of the lot. - Sewage planning exemption: The SEO signed the short‑form module. The commission moved to recommend the supervisors approve the module and conditionally approve the plan provided the owner’s statement is signed and notarized.
Action taken The commission voted to recommend approval of the DEP short‑form sewage planning exemption and to recommend conditional approval of the subdivision to the board of supervisors; the recommendation requires the owner’s signed statement for final supervisor action.
Next steps Staff will forward the commission’s recommendation and the signed module to the supervisors for final signatures and recording. The supervisors will sign the planning exemption and record the subdivision once the owner’s statement is signed and notarized.
