Engineer outlines three‑lot Hoffman Road subdivision waivers; board signals staff review
Summary
An engineer for Hoffman LLC described revisions to sewer connections and requested three waivers — joint preliminary/final approval, smaller private yard drain pipe diameters (8" instead of 18"), and PVC instead of reinforced concrete for private yard drains — with staff indicating formal approvals occur during the plan submission process.
At the meeting Adam Prince, an engineer speaking for Hoffman LLC, presented a three‑lot residential subdivision near the township golf course and asked the board to be comfortable with three requested waivers.
Prince said the plans were revised so each lot has a separate sewer connection to the existing pressure sewer and described an HOA arrangement for privately owned underground stormwater infrastructure. "We are proposing for 8‑inch pipe throughout some of those smaller segments," Prince said, explaining the waiver request from the township engineering standards to use smaller yard drains. He also requested a waiver to allow PVC for private yard drains where reinforced concrete pipe is ordinarily required, noting that connections to the roadway and culverts would remain concrete or HDP.
Township staff and a board member said they had no objection to private‑driveway and private‑system components using smaller pipe sizes and non‑RCP materials provided public‑right‑of‑way connections meet ordinance standards. The board indicated waiver approvals would be issued during preliminary or final submission after staff review.
The presentation concluded with the applicant stating the remainder of the plan complies with the subdivision and land development ordinance and with staff confirming the waivers would be considered as the project proceeds through formal plan review.
