Salem Township conditionally approves two subdivision requests spanning local and neighboring parcels
Summary
The board conditionally approved Penn Home & Farm LLC’s lot addition to the Kilpatrick property and a two‑lot subdivision (Artman/Starrett) that crosses Salem Township and Murrysville borders; approvals require SEO/DEP signoffs, plan edits, sewage planning modules and Murrysville concurrence.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors on Sept. 18 granted conditional approvals for two land‑use requests, placing specific plan and permitting requirements on both.
Penn Home & Farm LLC received conditional approval to add Lot 1 as an additional side yard to the Kilpatrick parcel (Tax Map No. 57‑12‑00‑0‑021). Conditions include submission of SEO, township and DEP approvals; showing a 30‑foot front building setback on Mark Drive and 10‑foot side/rear setbacks; labeling of a driveway; identifying Mark Drive right‑of‑way and tax parcel acreage pre‑ and post‑subdivision; showing any sanitary sewer easements; adding a required note about access through 54 Mark Drive; and providing Department of State corporation documentation and an owner’s certification naming the representative.
Separately, Florence Jean Artman and Sara Starrett received conditional approval for a two‑lot subdivision to consolidate parcels that straddle Salem Township and the Municipality of Murrysville. The board required plan note edits, removal of certain dedication language, corrected tax map references, clear pre‑ and post‑subdivision acreages (Lot 1 at 4.83 acres; Residual Lot 2 at 8.10 acres), submission of a sewage planning module for Lot 1, and approval by Murrysville.
Planning Commission Chair Connie Mattei described the Artman/Starrett submission as legally complicated because the property carries three county tax map numbers and spans two municipalities. Both motions passed by unanimous vote; recording and final approval are contingent on meeting the listed conditions and obtaining required external approvals (SEO/DEP/Murrysville).
