Council approves resolution backing Susan Prim’s vacant-property application, with access condition
Summary
Crafton Borough council amended the agenda and approved Resolution 2026-11, endorsing Susan Prim’s vacant property recovery application for lot/block 68J80 adjacent to 276 Euing Road; approval includes a requirement that the applicant preserve access to Dodto Street. Vote tally not recorded in transcript.
Crafton Borough council approved Resolution 2026-11 on June 11, formalizing the borough’s prior support for Susan Prim’s application to the county’s Vacant Property Recovery Program for lot and block 68J80, adjacent to 276 Euing Road. The action followed an agenda amendment to convert last week’s motion into a resolution.
Manager Mr. F. requested the agenda change, explaining the item had been passed as a motion at the previous meeting but needed to be adopted as a resolution. Council moved to amend the agenda and approved the amendment after a voice vote in which one member registered opposition. The council then moved, seconded and approved Resolution 2026-11. The recorded meeting does not include a roll-call vote tally for the resolution; the minutes show only that "motion passes."
The approved resolution includes a stipulation that the applicant sign an agreement preserving continuing access to Dodto Street as part of the borough’s conditions for supporting the county application. Manager Mr. F. said he has already drafted an agreement and that approval is conditioned on the applicant’s execution of that document.
Why it matters: the Vacant Property Recovery Program is intended to return blighted or unused parcels to productive use through county-administered assistance; converting the council’s earlier motion into a formal resolution clarifies the borough’s legal posture when it forwards the application. The transcript does not record additional required county steps, final county approval, or any funding commitments by the borough beyond the access stipulation.
What’s next: Manager Mr. F. and staff will finalize the applicant’s agreement preserving Dodto Street access before formal submission and any county action. The council’s approval authorizes the borough president and manager to proceed as recorded in the council’s resolution.
