Board approves multiple land‑development resolutions, including fee‑in‑lieu for 4388 Skip
Summary
Supervisors approved several land‑development resolutions—Act 537 plan transmissions, RNR Martino Properties at 4388 Skip with a $15,000 fee‑in‑lieu, and Fox Lane Homes’ redevelopment of 505 Bridge Road—while discussing PennDOT sight‑distance and fire‑truck turning requirements.
At its June 9 meeting the SkipBack Board of Supervisors approved a cluster of land‑development items, including Act 537 sewage plan transmissions and multiple conditional‑approval resolutions for developer projects.
Township engineer Mr. Wood said design plans are complete and staff will transmit two Act 537 packages to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection; the board approved resolutions 2026‑17 and 2026‑8 to forward the Crestman Road and Light Whiskey plans.
On private development, the board approved a memorializing resolution for RNR Martino Properties’ redevelopment of 4388 Skip that includes a $15,000 fee‑in‑lieu to fund other public projects in town. Mr. Wood said the applicant signed the resolution prepared to reflect the board’s prior conversation.
The board also voted to approve Fox Lane Homes’ land development for 505 Bridge Road (the former Gypsy Rose Hotel). Supervisors discussed the condition requiring the developer to secure PennDOT permits, improve sight distance at the intersection, and ensure fire‑truck turning templates are satisfied. The condition allows a driveway to remain in its current location provided additional landscaping is installed on the adjacent property to mitigate headlight impacts.
Board members asked staff to continue coordinating with PennDOT on sight‑distance improvements and to verify fire‑safety turning templates before final approvals are recorded.
These approvals were framed as part of an ongoing permitting cycle; staff said some permit and plan steps remain with outside agencies before construction can begin.
