Commission OKs conditioned recommendation for Heinnickel two‑lot subdivision; recording held until use is determined
Summary
Salem Township Planning Commission on Nov. 6 recommended approval of Alquin Heinnickel’s two‑lot subdivision subject to plan note amendments specifying setbacks and minimum lot sizes and a written modification request if commercial lot size is reduced; supervisors will hold recording until proposed uses are confirmed.
The Salem Township Planning Commission recommended Nov. 6 that the subdivision of tax parcel 57-16-00-0-013 into two lots be approved subject to specific plan note changes and conditions.
Owner Alquin Heinnickel and surveyor Ryan Jones presented the proposal, and commissioners required the plan notes be amended to state a 30‑foot front building setback; a minimum commercial lot size of 2.0 acres; and a minimum residential lot size of 1.0 acre with at least 125 feet of frontage. The commission instructed the applicant to submit a written request for modification if the existing or proposed commercial uses require a reduction in the minimum commercial lot size under Section 601(B)(2) of the Salem Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.
Chair Connie Mattei said that the subdivision meets dimensional requirements for a residential sale but that final recording of the mylar will be held until the intended use is known; if the lot is to be commercial, a land‑development application and any required review will be necessary. A copy of a time‑waiver will be provided to the applicant so the township is not constrained by the 90‑day action window.
The motion to recommend approval, moved by Paul Holleran and seconded by Mattei, passed by majority vote.
