Planning commission recommends conditional approval for 4 J Farm LLC subdivision
Summary
At its March meeting, the Huntington Township Planning Commission voted to recommend conditional approval of the 4 J Farm LLC subdivision, pending a sewage planning module and notarized signatures on the cover sheet.
At its March meeting the Huntington Township Planning Commission recommended conditional approval of the 4 J Farm LLC subdivision, contingent on submission of a sewage planning module and notarized signatures on the plan cover sheet.
Commission staff said soil testing for a replacement sewage area had just been completed after an initial submittal omitted a replacement area and the applicant must file component 1 of the sewage planning module. The property has been placed in a conservancy; staff updated the first-sheet note to record that restriction, and said the parcel’s primary and replacement septic areas are shown on sheet 3 of the plan.
The commission’s recommendation will go to the board of supervisors for final action. At the meeting the planning commission chair moved to recommend conditional approval; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commission staff said they will update the planning module and receive the applicant’s notarized signatures before forwarding the plan to the supervisors.
Why it matters: the parcel is in a conserved area and the township must confirm an adequate replacement sewage area before a lot is finalized. The commission’s action prevents the plan from being recorded until the outstanding documentation is provided.
Details: the applicant reported additional percolation testing for the replacement area; the planning module and a notarized cover sheet remain outstanding. Commission staff noted earlier comments dated Feb. 6 had been addressed. The commission recorded the recommendation as conditional on the two outstanding items and directed staff to obtain the updated module and signatures.
