Conditional use hearing held for Sanatoga Land Holding steep-slope disturbance request

Solicitor Jamie Ottaviano opened a Conditional Use Hearing at 6:00 p.m. on June 3 for Sanatoga Land Holding, which is seeking permission to disturb steep slopes of up to 15 percent at properties listed as 147 Evergreen Road and 209 and 211 South Park Road. The hearing was closed at 6:20 p.m., and no action or vote was reported during the board’s public minutes.

The request invokes Section 250-34.H(1) of the Lower Pottsgrove Township Zoning Ordinance, which allows disturbance of slopes of 15 percent by conditional use. The record made at the township meeting states only that the hearing was opened and closed; the minutes do not record a determination, conditions, or any vote by the board at that time.

The hearing record does not include testimony details, staff recommendations, or a final disposition. The transcript indicates the matter was part of the township’s evening docket and that the public record was closed during the 6:00–6:20 p.m. hearing window. Any regulatory decision or conditions associated with the conditional use are not included in the meeting minutes and, if required by township practice, may be issued later in a separate written determination or during a subsequent public meeting.

For readers tracking the land development, the ordinance citation on the record is Section 250-34.H(1). The transcript identifies the applicant as Sanatoga Land Holding and records Solicitor Jamie Ottaviano conducting the hearing; it does not list a board vote or definitive outcome in the meeting notes. The next procedural step for parties seeking a formal determination would be to consult the township’s official minutes or zoning officer for the final written decision.
