Supervisors approve two subdivision plans for Silver Lake and South State Street

The New Town Township Board of Supervisors approved two land‑development plans at its June 10 meeting: a preliminary and final plan for Silver Lake 3 LLC at 211 Upper Silver Lake Road, and a preliminary and final minor subdivision for Robert and Martha Kiska at 518 South State Street.

Solicitor presented the Silver Lake 3 LLC application, describing the plan to subdivide Bucks County Tax Parcel 29‑50‑10 into three lots with one single‑family dwelling on each lot. Approval was conditioned on plan revisions complying with multiple engineering and traffic review letters (Remington Vernick, Arrow Consulting), an executed development agreement, posting of financial security, appropriate water/sewer service documentation, a declaration of covenants, and upgrades to an ADA ramp and crosswalk signage as required by the township engineer. The board also granted partial waivers from sections of the subdivision and land development ordinance related to phased submissions and the use of aerial photography in lieu of some on‑site mapping. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

For the Kiska property at 518 South State Street (tax parcel 29‑10‑20), the board approved a minor subdivision to demolish an existing dwelling and accessory structures and divide a 1.15‑acre lot into two single‑family building lots. The motion included required plan revisions to address engineering and traffic comments, payment of outstanding review fees, an (erroneously retained) ADA ramp note to be struck, waivers for drawing scale and partial deferrals of curb/sidewalk and street‑tree requirements until issuance of building permits, and a reduced planting strip width due to existing utilities and trees. Board members asked for additional locational clarification during discussion (manager indicated the property is across from Lincoln Avenue on South State Street). The motion passed on a voice vote.

Both approvals are conditional on the applicants’ meeting the listed review‑letter comments and executing required agreements; the solicitor noted final plan signatures and recording will follow satisfaction of those conditions.
