Tresco application denied as administratively incomplete; solicitor urges deed transfer and recorded easement

At its Feb. 4 meeting the Salem Township Planning Commission denied the Tresco Land Development Plan as administratively incomplete because the application had been submitted under the name "Tresco Companies," an entity the Solicitor said does not exist. The Solicitor and commission members said the actual property owner is Tresco Paving Corporation and the application must be resubmitted by that entity with an authorized signature.

Solicitor Ryan Thomas told the commission that Plant Road (Tax Map Parcel No. 57‑04‑00‑0‑184) is currently owned by Damimo Storage and that a lot consolidation cannot proceed while ownership interests differ among the parcels. Thomas recommended a deed conveying Plant Road from Damimo Storage to Tresco Paving Corporation and a recorded easement to ensure Parcel 57‑04‑00‑0‑005 is not landlocked. The commission listed required plan items that must accompany resubmission, including the deed copy, labeling of right‑of‑way dimensions, identification of water sources (public vs. private), and revision date and number on the plan.

Separately, the commission continued discussion of the previously tabled Tresco Lot Consolidation and confirmed that the required recorded easement and deed are mandatory conditions of any future approval. The Commission voted unanimously to deny the incomplete application; applicants were advised to correct entity names, secure owner signatures, obtain the deed and record easements, then return the revised plan for review.
