Board gives preliminary approval to 301 Reservoir Road subdivision with waivers
Summary
The board granted preliminary plan approval for Timber Mill (301 Reservoir Road), including requested waivers (notably a roadway-width reduction from 22 to 20 feet) and conditions such as no-parking signage and a fire hydrant at the access, subject to township engineering and staff review.
The board voted June 18 to grant preliminary plan approval for a five‑lot subdivision at 301 Reservoir Road (Timber Mill), and to approve the waivers requested by the applicant, including a reduction of the private roadway width from the township standard of 22 feet to 20 feet.
Michael Call of Commonwealth Engineers presented the land-development plan and identified the primary waivers sought. He said the private road will be built to township standards, include a fire hydrant at the access along Reservoir Road, and be posted with no‑parking signage; the applicant agreed that driveway layouts meet ordinance parking requirements for the lots.
Board members and staff discussed signage, off‑street parking, landscaping and protections to keep trees away from sewer laterals. After the applicant confirmed design details and staff confirmed township‑standard construction and fire access requirements were addressed, the board approved preliminary plan passage and added approval of the listed waivers.
The decision was contingent on typical engineering and staff reviews and conditions noted in the Planning Commission and township engineer recommendations.
