Fusting Center Phase II lot consolidation and four‑story site plan tabled for major revisions
Summary
The Salem Township Planning Commission tabled preliminary approval of the Fusting Center Phase II lot consolidation and a four‑story mixed‑use site plan, citing missing plan elements, parking calculations, stormwater, PennDOT and sanitary‑tap approvals and cross‑easements.
Architect Ray Gusty presented a proposed lot consolidation and four‑story mixed‑use building for the Fusting Center Phase II. The design calls for first‑floor restaurants and retail, offices and condominiums on upper floors and a total of four stories with roughly 40 condominium units, but the submitted materials lacked several required elements.
Commissioners required a revised lot consolidation plan and site plan that include a location map and clear statement of purpose; identification of the State Route 22 right‑of‑way edge and centerline and labeling of the SR‑22 entrance; removal of mortgage‑certification language; required township, county and recorder certifications and seals; and clear phase labeling (Phase I existing, Phase II proposed construction).
The commission also requested parking calculations tying the Phase I existing use and Phase II proposed build‑out, a breakdown of 1‑, 2‑ and 3‑bedroom condominium counts to determine parking needs, traffic circulation and emergency‑vehicle access plans (including whether ladder‑truck access is required), proof of cross easements to access the SR‑22 signal, FTMSA/DEP sanitary‑tap allocation approval, PennDOT highway occupancy permit, stormwater and erosion‑control approvals, and engineer signoffs.
Because those elements were missing or unclear, Paul Holleran moved and Connie Mattei seconded a motion to table the plan so the applicant can supply the required materials; the motion passed by majority vote.
