Commission recommends approval of two-lot subdivision on May Avenue

The Bridgeville Planning Commission recommended that borough council approve a minor subdivision splitting parcel 255-E-150 at the corner of May Avenue and Crest View Drive into two buildable lots. Staff described the parcel as an unusual remnant of an original family subdivision, said title issues are being handled through an estate process and explained that prior plan-review comments stemmed from historic paper alleys and a non-existent paper section of Crest View Drive. Commissioners were told the main sewer line runs beside the rear of the new lots, which supports connecting two new homes.

Commission discussion focused on lot size and neighborhood character; one participant noted the planned houses would mirror nearby split-level homes and “fit into the neighborhood,” and staff said the plan-review question about required front yards on non-existent streets was resolved by revised drawings and deed preparation. After brief discussion a motion to recommend approval to borough council was made, seconded and approved by voice vote (recorded in the transcript as "All in favor, I; Opposed, motion carries"). The motion record in the transcript did not name a mover or seconder nor provide a numeric roll-call tally.

Next steps: staff will forward the commission’s recommendation and the revised plan materials to borough council for the formal approval and deed work as part of the estate settlement.
