Concord Township approves minor subdivision for 9 Ivy Lane with conditions
Summary
Council approved Resolution 24 (Minor Subdivision — 9 Ivy Lane) after staff explained the municipal boundary bisects the parcel; approval is subject to 11 standard conditions including compliance with Pinoni and HRG review letters and required sewage and health permits.
The Concord Township Council voted to approve Resolution 24 of 2026, authorizing a preliminary/final minor subdivision for 9 Ivy Lane that creates a conforming lot on the Concord side of a parcel bisected by the municipal boundary.
Engineer Nate explained the application: the municipal boundary bisects the property and the applicant obtained Chester Heights approval for the portion in that borough. "There's actually no land development occurring with this project," Nate said, adding the action will create a conforming lot in Concord Township and does not change municipal boundaries.
Solicitor Donahue referenced Delaware County’s review and said the county raised a caveat suggesting an easement might be preferable; he added he agreed with Nate that the consolidation appears proper. Council approved the resolution by voice vote. The approval was conditioned on 11 items read into the record, including compliance with the Pinoni review letter (dated 03/06/2026), HRG review letter (03/08/2026), the fire marshal’s email (03/09/2026), submission of required permits (PA DEP sewage planning module exemption or county health department approvals), electronic plan submission, deed and easement reviews, buffers for water courses, clarification of proposed water and sanitary sewer, surveyor certification prior to recording, and a deed restriction prohibiting further subdivision.
Council members asked whether the township was assuming authority over the Chester Heights portion; Nate and Donahue confirmed Concord is approving only its portion and Chester Heights has approved the adjoining portion. The council passed the resolution by voice vote; no recorded roll‑call was presented in the minutes.
