Owner wins Planning Commission recommendation for 8.48‑acre lot with storage-use clarification
Summary
The Salem Township Planning Commission recommended approval to create an 8.4801‑acre lot from John R. Koenig’s property, conditioned on an amended Statement of Purpose, a revision date on the plan and verification of septic/land‑use limits tied to an existing 'storage' note.
The Salem Township Planning Commission on Nov. 6 recommended approval of a plan to create one new buildable lot (Lot 4) of 8.4801 acres from the lands of property owner John Randall Koenig (tax map no. 57-09-00-0-110).
Koenig and his surveyor, Art Kromel, told the commission the parcel contains an existing building, a septic system and a cistern. The commission required that the plan’s Statement of Purpose be amended to read that Lot 4 contains those items and that a revision number and date be shown on the plan before final recording.
Township Solicitor Gary Falatovich noted that a prior note restricting use to "storage" was added to clarify enforcement related to the sanitary sewage facility. Falatovich said the Township SEO’s office has no record of the septic installation and that a change in use would require a land-development submission and soil testing.
The commission’s recommendation was made by Paul Holleran and seconded by Connie Mattei; both voted in favor. The recommendation is conditional: if Koenig seeks to change the use beyond storage or if site records remain incomplete, further review and permits will be required before any building or expansion.
Next steps: the plan must be revised to show the requested text and revision date; if use changes are proposed later the applicant must return for land-development review and septic verification.
