Commission recommends approval of Glinski Family Trust subdivision plan, forwards two waiver requests
Summary
The Planning Commission forwarded the Glinski Family Trust/Peffley preliminary/final subdivision plan (2026-1) to the Board of Supervisors with recommendations for approval subject to staff and engineering comments, and forwarded two waivers ([SLDO 303] and [SLDO 402.03]) for Board consideration. Chairman Raymond Brown abstained due to a conflict of interest.
The Silver Spring Township Planning Commission on June 4 forwarded the Glinski Family Trust/Peffley preliminary/final subdivision plan (2026-1) to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval subject to staff and engineering comments, and recommended two waivers for board approval.
Jerry Gibboney of Burget Associates Inc. presented the plan, saying the applicants will make minor changes after a house-in meeting with staff and the township engineer. Key plan elements include reconfiguring two existing lots so that one conveys a narrow sliver of land to create a panhandle parcel (proposed lot #4), installing pull-off areas about every 200 feet, buffer adjustments, and a shared driveway serving the flag lots with a recorded access easement and maintenance agreement.
Township Engineer Jonathan Robinson and Lead Land Specialist Scott Maldonado reviewed technical questions. Gibboney said septic approvals are contingent on Pennsylvania DEP approval. Commissioners discussed accessory-structure nonconformities (an accessory structure located forward of a principal structure on a reconfigured lot and an existing garage in a setback on another lot), the township recreation fee of $1,650 per new residential lot, and potential clean-and-green recapture triggered by the reconfiguration.
Because Chairman Raymond Brown noted a conflict of interest, he abstained from the motions related to the plan and the waiver recommendations. On separate motions the Commission forwarded waivers for [SLDO 303] (Preliminary Plan) and [SLDO 402.03] (Existing Resources & Site Analysis) to the Board of Supervisors with recommendations for approval, and forwarded the plan itself with the same recommendation; minutes record the motions as carried with Chairman Brown abstaining.
The Board of Supervisors will review the waivers and the subdivision/refinement plan; final approvals and any recording of easements or agreements will follow Board action and DEP approvals where required.
