Salem Township approves two subdivision plans with conditions, including cross-municipality adjustment
Summary
The board approved a Penn Home & Farm LLC lot addition for the Kilpatrick property and a two-lot subdivision involving parcels in both Salem Township and Murrysville, each approval conditioned on required plan revisions, approvals from SEO/DEP, and other documentation.
At the Sept. 18 meeting the Salem Township Board of Supervisors approved two separate subdivision matters, each with multiple conditions the applicants must satisfy before final recording.
Penn Home & Farm LLC: The board approved adding Lot 1 to the John and Patricia Kilpatrick property (Tax Map No. 57-12-00-0-021) subject to conditions that include submission of SEO, Township, and DEP approvals; showing a 30-foot front building setback off Mark Drive and 10-foot side/rear setbacks; labeling the driveway; adding right-of-way width and identification for Mark Drive; showing pre- and post-subdivision acreages; identifying any sanitary sewer easement; providing Pennsylvania Department of State corporate documentation and member identification for Penn Home & Farm LLC; owner certifications including the name of a representative identified as a "Sole Member"; signatures from the Kilpatricks; and a revision number and date on the plan.
Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett: The board approved a 2-lot subdivision intended to consolidate parcels currently split between Salem Township and the Municipality of Murrysville, with the stated purpose of creating a new buildable Lot 1 and a Residual Lot 2. Conditions include amending plan notes and removal of certain dedication language, replacing "PID" references with "Tax Map Parcel No.," clearly showing pre- and post-subdivision acreages (Lot 1: 4.83 acres; Residual Lot 2: 8.10 acres), submission of a Sewage Planning Module for Lot 1 and required approvals from the Township SEO and DEP, and obtaining Murrysville's approval.
Planning Commission Chair Connie Mattei described the Artman/Starrett matter as legally complicated because parcels lie in two municipalities and noted the board has not yet received the Sewage Facilities Planning Module; Murrysville approval is required before the Pennsylvania Sewage approval process is complete.
Both subdivision approvals were recorded as motions passed unanimously, with detailed conditions listed in the meeting minutes that applicants must meet before final plan recording.
