Board approves three‑lot subdivision on Lower Dolington Road with conditions
Summary
The New Town Board granted preliminary and final approval to DUCA Construction at Glengarry LLC for a three‑lot subdivision at 473 Lower Dolington Road, imposing plan revisions, sidewalk and street‑light requirements, a $9,631.70 traffic impact fee and 18 waivers; the motion passed by voice vote.
The New Town Township Board of Supervisors voted to grant preliminary and final plan approval to DUCA Construction at Glengarry LLC for a three‑lot subdivision at 473 Lower Dolington Road.
The motion, posed during the board’s Jan. 14 meeting, approves subdividing Bucks County parcel 29‑10‑67‑1 into three lots, retaining the existing single‑family dwelling on one lot and allowing construction of one new single‑family dwelling on each of the other two lots. The board attached multiple conditions to final plan signing, including compliance with technical review letters, a zoning hearing board decision, and infrastructure requirements.
The board required the applicant to revise plans to address comments from Remington Vernick Engineers and CKS Engineering, and to demonstrate compliance with the New Town Township Zoning Hearing Board decision and order dated Jan. 31, 2025 (appeal no. 1223‑24). The applicant must show installation of a sidewalk along the Lower Dolington Road frontage and install a street light at the new access drive entrance and another at the dead end within the development; those fixtures must be shown on final plans and installed after recording. The board also directed the applicant to enter into a development agreement, financial security and a stormwater operations and maintenance agreement, and to post financial security before permits are issued.
The township will assess a traffic impact fee of $9,631.70 prior to issuance of a building permit for the project. The board granted 18 waivers as described in the applicant’s engineer letter dated Aug. 11, 2025; several other requested waivers (including some related to sidewalks) were withdrawn and replaced by the conditions requiring sidewalks and the two street lights.
The motion to approve the preliminary and final plans carried on a voice vote.
