Board reduces Salem Ridge ILOC, approves Eichenger plan and setback change for Penn Home & Farm
Summary
Supervisors reduced Bayt Development LLC’s Irrevocable Letter of Credit for Salem Ridge after engineering certification, approved the Eichenger plan with one condition removed, and authorized a setback reduction for Penn Home & Farm consistent with the Garden Courts plan; a public hearing to vacate an unopened street was scheduled for Feb. 18.
Salem Township supervisors on Jan. 21 approved several land-development and subdivision actions, including a reduction of a developer’s Letter of Credit, conditional plan approval and a modification to front-yard setback requirements.
After the Salem Township engineer, Victor P. Regola and Associates, recommended confirming quantities, construction observation and sanitary-sewer testing, the board voted to reduce Bayt Development LLC’s Irrevocable Letter of Credit for Salem Ridge from $352,368.19 to $230,642.04, a reduction of $121,726.15. A board member said road repairs on Mark Drive would likely occur as the project nears completion.
The board also approved the Eichenger plan subject to previously approved conditions but excluded Condition 7 after the Planning Commission and the township SEO (Doug Regola) determined the test pits were not required. Planning Commission Chair Connie Mattei explained the PC’s review and the plan’s subdivision context.
Separately, supervisors authorized advertising a public hearing (Feb. 18, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.) on Penn Home & Farm LLC’s request to vacate any township interest in a certain unopened street; the minutes note Garden Court Plan features and prior partial vacation by an adjacent owner. The board also approved a modification request from Penn Home & Farm to reduce the minimum front building setback from 30 feet to 25 feet, consistent with the Garden Courts Plan. All motions passed unanimously.
