Commission recommends final approval of JV land development plan to supervisors

The Huntington Township planning commission on June 23 recommended final approval of the JV land development plan (JDI/JV Island) to the township board of supervisors after receiving confirmation that conditions set at an earlier supervisors’ meeting had been met.

Why it matters: The plan had been conditionally approved by the supervisors; state and county permits and required bonds were presented in the planning commission packet and staff confirmed the outstanding technical notes were limited to stormwater/erosion control notations and the sewage/planning signatures referenced elsewhere in the meeting.

Key points - Conditions satisfied: Township staff reported the applicant submitted required items including required bonds and updated permits from the conservation district and Pennsylvania DEP; the commission reviewed a comment letter and plan sheets and found no substantive changes to the land‑use layout. - Final authorization: Commissioners voted to recommend the supervisors sign the final land development plan; the applicant’s representatives were present, and staff said the plan will be recorded after signatures are obtained.

Action taken The planning commission voted in favor of recommending final approval to the board of supervisors and authorized signature of the plan for recording.

Background and next steps After the commission’s recommendation, the supervisors will execute final signatures on the plan as the last administrative step before recording. Staff will distribute the recorded plan to the township records once signatures and recording are complete.
