Commission recommends conditional approval for two-lot subdivision spanning Salem Township and Murrysville
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a reinstated two-lot subdivision by Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett, requiring textual plan edits, clear pre/post acreages, a Sewage Planning Module for the new lot and approval from Murrysville and state agencies.
At its Sept. 4 meeting the Salem Township Planning Commission recommended conditional approval of a two-lot subdivision submitted by Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett that divides property currently spanning Salem Township and the Municipality of Murrysville.
Surveyor Eugene Heald and owner Sarah Starrett were present for the review. The commission required several edits to plan language and notes: change all instances of "Remaining Lot B" to "Residual Lot 2"; amend the statement of purpose to list the three tax parcels and clearly describe Lot 1 as a new buildable lot and Residual Lot 2 as containing the existing single-family home with existing sewage facilities; remove broad dedication language from the owners' certificate; and amend note language governing dedications and acceptance by the board of supervisors.
The commission also required that the plan display precise acreage figures and the pre- and post-subdivision acreages be added: existing property area before subdivision 12.93 acres, post-subdivision Lot 1 area 4.83 acres, and Residual Lot 2 area 8.10 acres. A Sewage Planning Module for Lot 1 must be submitted and township, SEO and DEP approvals obtained. Because part of the property lies in Murrysville, the plan requires approval by the Municipality of Murrysville before final acceptance.
Paul Holleran moved and Connie Mattei seconded the recommendation of approval subject to the enumerated conditions; both voted in favor and the motion passed unanimously. The recommendation is contingent on the technical corrections and intermunicipal and state approvals specified by the commission.
