Township approves routine bills, multiple planning modules and subdivision conditions
Summary
Salem Township supervisors unanimously approved routine minutes and expenditures totaling $123,005.08, renewed an HRA administration agreement, authorized a grant-funded VFD for a pump station, and approved several planning-module and subdivision motions subject to conditions.
Salem Township supervisors voted unanimously at their Aug. 21 meeting to approve routine governance items and a slate of land‑use actions, including expenditures, benefit agreements and multiple subdivisions that will require follow‑up approvals before development can proceed.
The board approved payment of monthly bills totaling $123,005.08 across township funds, and renewed the township employees’ HRA administration agreement with PrimePay at a monthly rate of $69.96 effective Nov. 1, 2024. On utilities, the board approved an intergovernmental agreement to install a variable frequency drive at the Cloverleaf pump station backed by a grant of about $34,000.
The supervisors also approved several planning-module resolutions and subdivision motions. Actions included approvals of planning modules for Kifer No. 2 and the Shaw Brothers plan and conditional approval of the Gettysburg Land & Cattle Company plan, each subject to technical and permitting requirements. The board voted to appoint Tim Kozinko to the Recreation Board and to advertise for a Salem Township road‑crew position.
Each subdivision approval included explicit conditions recorded in the minutes: required plan-note revisions, showing pre/post acreages and setback lines, confirmation of sanitary‑sewer planning modules signed by the SEO, and signatures or easements from adjoining property owners where sewer service will cross parcels. The minutes note that land‑development approvals (for projects such as an event center or a solar farm) will require separate applications and cannot proceed on the basis of subdivision approval alone.
What happens next: several of the approved items require additional administrative steps — Planning Commission review, DEP/SEO signoffs, highway‑occupancy permits (if access to state routes is involved), and formal land‑development submissions where the minutes specify such steps. The board set its next regular meeting for Sept. 18, 2024 at 7 p.m.
