Londonderry supervisors approve three subdivision plans, $447,550 payment on Swatara Creek Road project and routine contracts
Summary
The Board approved three final minor subdivision plans (PC25-04, PC25-05, PC25-06) with specified waivers/conditions, approved Payment Application #4 for $447,550.15 to Construction Master Services, and authorized multiple routine maintenance and procurement actions including a copier lease, fence purchase, signal repair and park work.
At its July 7 meeting the Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors approved several land‑use plans and a slate of routine contracts and payments.
The Board approved PC25-04 (Leininger Final Minor Subdivision). Engineer Bob Riley said the property at 4030 Beagle Road would be divided into a one‑acre residential lot plus an 11.79‑acre agricultural parcel; Riley said there would be no change of use. The Board granted requested deferrals from Section 22‑506 (curbs and gutters) and Section 22‑507 (sidewalks), granted the waiver from Section 22‑304 regarding preliminary-plat procedures, and approved the final plan. All motions were carried unanimously.
The Board also approved PC25-05 (Ziat Final Minor Subdivision) with conditions: the plan spans Agriculture and C‑2 zoning; the approval was conditioned on recording an easement agreement for a shared access driveway and obtaining required "will serve" letters from DTMA and Pennsylvania American Water. Motions to grant deferrals from Sections 22‑506 and 22‑507 and a waiver under Section 22‑303.1 were carried unanimously.
PC25-06 (Iron Cygnus Properties LLC lot add‑on) was approved conditioned on SEO approval of a non‑building waiver and inclusion of a plan note stating that no part of former tax parcel 34‑011‑208 (2533 Foxianna Rd) is approved for sewage disposal facility installation absent municipality and Department of Environmental Protection approvals under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act. During discussion Member Bart Shellenhamer raised a Foxianna Road drainage concern and asked the property owner to coordinate with Public Works to repair a damaged pipe that is causing roadway flooding; Mark Romeo said he would pass the information to the property owner.
On finance and contracts, the Board approved Payment Application No. 4 to Construction Master Services for the Swatara Creek Road construction project in the amount of $447,550.15, with the manager noting one final payment remains. The Board approved a 60‑month copier lease with Higher Information Group at $228.84 per month for the codes office; approved a $5,480 purchase and installation of a privacy fence around propane tanks at Sunset Golf Course (to be paid from golf-course funds); and approved routine repairs and maintenance quotes including $2,763.30 for traffic-signal repair (CM High), $4,973.86 to repair a skid‑loader milling head (Groff Tractor & Equipment), $6,100 to seal and line the Sunset Park basketball court (The Breneman Company), and up to $3,500 in stone and concrete materials from Pennsy Supply for Engle Road repairs. The Board also approved fulfillment of the winter maintenance contract with Doug Lamb Construction for $2,000 and approved Resolution 2025‑19 to dispose of township property under $2,000 (two interior wooden doors with metal frames) for sale.
The Board approved an MS4‑related proposal from Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson to create two site‑development drawings at a cost of $32,300, noting a $10,000 DCNR grant amendment to help fund the work; the Board also approved free DCNR educational signs for Sunset Park and along Swatara Creek to be installed by Public Works.
All listed motions carried unanimously unless noted. Where approvals were conditioned (PC25‑05, PC25‑06), the conditions specified recording easements, obtaining "will serve" letters, SEO approvals, or DEP/municipal sewage planning approvals as detailed above.
